Harassment includes any verbal, written, visual, or physical acts that are offensive, intimidating, unwelcome, or could reasonably be considered objectionable. Harassment is prohibited on the basis of sex, race, racial or linguistic origin, creed, pregnancy, family status, age, political convictions, disability, or citizenship.
