Harassment: Harassment refers to unwelcome behavior that is offensive, fails to respect the rights of others and interferes with work effectiveness. California Lutheran
University seeks to create and maintain an academic and working environment in which all members of the community are free of harassment based on race, color,
religion, age, natural origin, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or gender.
Forms of harassment include, but are not limited to the following:
Verbal: Sexual innuendoes; suggestive comments; racial or derogatory slurs; off-color jokes; propositions; threats; suggestive or insulting sounds; repeated unwanted sexual
advances; threats of reproach or promises of rewards contingent upon the obtainment of sexual favors.
Visual/Nonverbal: Derogatory posters, cartoons or drawings; suggestive objects or pictures; graphic commentaries; leering obscene gestures.
Physical: Unwanted physical contact including touching; interference with an individual's normal work or movement; assault.
Be advised that no form of harassment will be tolerated at California Lutheran University. Anyone who engages in harassment and is in violation of this policy will be subject
to immediate disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
Termination: Typically a part-time job at CLU will be terminated at the end of the academic year, or at the end of the semester, if applicable. Students who are graduating
or separating from the university may not continue to work beyond the period of enrollment. You have the right to terminate your employment at any time. You should
give two weeks notice if you find it necessary to leave your job before the end of the year (or semester). In the event of severe academic difficulty or prolonged illness, you
may ask permission to leave your job before the end of your commitment. You further understand that you may be involuntarily terminated if your work performance is
continually unsatisfactory for reasons, such as, but not limited to: violating any of the applicable policies identified in the Student Handbook/Standards of Conduct;
continued poor work performance or attitude; continued excessive tardiness or absence; falsification of employment or University records (including reporting hours
worked); disobedience, insubordination, or harassment of other individuals.

Supervisor.
