The University of Alaska Anchorage is a community that cherishes the free and open exchange of ideas in the pursuit of knowledge. Maintaining this freedom andopenness requires the presence of safety and trust andthe absence of coercion, intimidation, and exploitation.Therefore, harassment of any kind, including sexualharassment has no place in the University. It subjects its victims to pressures that destroy the conditions necessary for true learning. Faculty and supervisors, the members of the University community who exercisethe most authority and leadership, are principally responsible for maintaining a positive, harassment-freelearning environment.
Sexual harassment may refer to any unwelcome sexualadvance, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal orphysical conduct of a sexual nature. Both men andwomen can be sexually harassed, although women aremore often victims of sexual harassment.
Sexual harassment often occurs in situations where oneperson has power over another, but it may also occuramong peers. Sexual harassment is a form of misconductthat undermines the integrity of personal, professional,and student relationships. Sexual harassment does notrefer to occasional compliments of a socially acceptablenature; rather, it is unwelcome and personally offensivebehavior that is detrimental to morale.
It is the intent of UAA to take whatever action is neededto prevent, correct, and discipline behavior that violatesthis policy. If you feel you may be the victim of sexualharassment, talk to someone you trust about the

In addition to any adverse academicaction, which may result from engaging in academicallydishonest behavior, the University specifically reservesthe right to address and sanction the conduct involvedthrough the student judicial review procedures outlined inthis section. Academic actions are reviewable under theAcademic Dispute Resolution Procedure contained in thissection of this handbook.
ACADEMIC RIGHTS OF STUDENTS
The University has the responsibility of providing aprogram of high quality education in keeping with itsfinancial resources; students have protection throughcampus-specific procedures against arbitrary orcapricious academic evaluation. Student performanceshall be evaluated solely on an academic basis, not onopinions or conduct in matters unrelated to academicstandards. Students are responsible for the propercompletion of their academic program, for familiaritywith all requirements of the University catalog, and formaintaining an acceptable grade average for degreerequirements. Students have the right to be informedat the beginning of each term of the nature of thecourse, course expectations, evaluation standards, andthe grading system.
ACADEMIC DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURE
Challenges to academic decisions or actions of thefaculty or academic administration will be reviewedaccording to this procedure that implements the UABoard of Regents Policy 09.03.02 and UniversityRegulation on Resolution of Disputes RegardingAcademic Decisions or Actions. Appropriate issues forthis procedure include such things as alleged arbitraryand capricious dismissal from or denial of admissionto an academic program based upon academicconsiderations or alleged grading error or arbitrary andcapricious grading for a final grade assignment. Gradesassigned prior to the final grade received in a course
66
are not subject to review under this procedure. Onlythe course instructor or an academic decision reviewcommittee may authorize a change in the assignmentof a final grade.
Definitions:Academic Decision Review Committee - Anacademic decision review committee is an ad hoccommittee to formally review a contested final gradeassignment or other academic decision. Thecommittee will be composed of faculty, a non-votingcommittee chair who may be a faculty, and a nonvotingstudent representative. The dean/campusdirector or designee will appoint faculty or staffcommittee members. The campus student governmentpresident will appoint the student representative, froma list of students recommended by the dean/campusdirector or designee. To be eligible, the student mustbe currently enrolled in at least three credits, in gooddisciplinary standing, with a cumulative grade pointaverage of 3.0 or higher. If the academic decisionbeing challenged is for a graduate course or program,the faculty appointed will be from those departmentswith graduate programs. The student committeemember will be a graduate student.
Arbitrary and Capricious Grading - Arbitrary andcapricious grading means the assignment of a finalcourse grade on a basis other than performance in thecourse; the use of standards different from thoseapplied to other students in the same course; orsubstantial, unreasonable and/or unannounceddeparture from the course instructor's previouslyarticulated standards or criteria (see also GradingError).
Class Day - As used in the schedule for review ofacademic decisions, a class day is any day ofscheduled instruction, excluding Saturday and Sundayincluded on the academic calendar in effect at thetime of a review. Final examination periods arecounted as class days.
Final Grade - The final grade is the grade assigned fora course upon its completion. 67
Grading Error - A grading error is a mathematicalmiscalculation of a final grade or an inaccurate recording ofthe final grade (see also Arbitrary and Capricious Grading).
Next Regular Semester - The next regular semester isthe fall or spring semester following the semester inwhich the disputed academic decision was made. Forexample, it would be the fall semester for a final gradeissued for a course completed during the previousspring semester or summer session. The springsemester is the next regular semester for an academicdecision made during the previous fall semester.
Procedures for Resolving Disputes RegardingFinal Grade AssignmentStudents may challenge a final grade assignment on the basis of alleged grading error or arbitrary andcapricious grading. Because grades can affect suchthings as a student's eligibility for continued financialaid, students must learn their final grades and initiate a review, where desired, as soon as possible. The time schedule outlined in this procedure stipulatesmaximum time periods within which to completestages of the review. However, permission forextensions of time may be granted, in writing, by the dean/campus director or designee.
Informal Procedure for Academic DisputesRegarding Final Grade AssignmentWhere possible, students will be expected to firstrequest an informal resolution of the final grade assignmentwith the course instructor or department chair/academicleader. The process must be initiated by the 15th class dayof the next regular semester of UAA. The instructor ordepartment chair/academic leader must respond to therequest within 5 class days of receipt.
If the course instructor's decision is to change the finalgrade, the instructor must promptly initiate theprocess. If the instructor does not change the gradeand the student's concerns remain unresolved, thestudent may notify the department chair/academicleader responsible for the course. Within 5 class daysof such notification, the department chair/academicleader must either effect resolution of the issue withthe instructor or inform the student of the process forformally appealing the final grade assignment.

SEX OFFENSES POLICY
It is the policy of the University of Alaska Anchoragethat the sexual assault of one member of the academiccommunity by another will not be tolerated. This policy applies to all members of the campus community, students,faculty, and staff.
The term sexual assault, as used by the University of Alaska Anchorage, encompasses the legal definitions of sexual assault contained in Alaska state statutes. It includes,but is not limited to rape, acquaintance or date rape, as wellas rape by a stranger. Sexual assault is against the law and is defined as sexual misconduct that is forced or coercedagainst the will of the victim. The same definition appliesregardless of whether the assailant is a stranger or anacquaintance (date, friend, or someone known casually). This type of threat may involve physical violence, coercion, or the threat of harm.
A person who has been the victim of sexual assault shouldreport the crime to the University Police Department or thelocal police. The Dean of Students Office, Student Health and Counseling Center, and Residence Life may provide initial support services for students on the Anchorage campus. At extended colleges, the local police should be contacted andcampus-based counseling staff may serve as resources. Staff will serve in an advocacy role and help
73
refer individuals for appropriate medical, police, judicial, and counseling services.Reported complaints of sexualassault will be investigated and to the extent possible, the identity of the individuals will be kept confidential.Whether or not criminal charges are initiated, the victim'sright to file a complaint through the student judicial system or employee grievance process remains.
Should the alleged misconduct of a student be subject toreview through formal hearing procedures, the accusedand accuser will be afforded the opportunity to presentrelevant information, be accompanied by a support person, and be apprised of the results of the disciplinaryreview. Upon request, as reasonably available, assis-tance will be provided in changing academic schedulesand living arrangements.
In the event an accused person is found in violation ofthis policy, the entire range of sanctions outlined in theStudent Code of Conduct may be considered including,but not limited to, disciplinary probation, suspension, or expulsion from the university. Should the alleged sexual assault involve an employee, sanctions will bedetermined under applicable employment contracts and agreements.
Sexual assault may also be considered a violation ofthe University of Alaska's policy against sexual harassment. According to the University of Alaska,Board of Regents' policy (4.08.02), sexual harassmentinvolves unwelcome sexual advances or requests forsexual favors by a member of the campus communitywhen the assailant uses, threatens to use, or impliesthat submission to, or rejection of, such conduct willhave an impact on employment or academic decisionsaffecting the victim.
Sexual harassment includes other verbal or physicalconduct related to sex when such conduct has thepurpose or effect of substantially interfering with anindividual's performance at work or study by creatingan intimidating, hostile, or offensive environment inwhich to work, live, or learn. The Office of CampusDiversity and Compliance, Dean of Students Office, and the appropriate dean's or director's offices can provide information and referral on issues of sexual harassment.
74
In an effort to educate the campus community aboutsexual assault, acquaintance rape, and other sexoffenses, campus sponsored prevention programs areoffered on an on-going basis throughout the year.Additional information about the above policy andprograms offered can be obtained from the followingoffices: Dean of Students Office, the University Police Department, Residence Life, and the Student Health and Counseling Center.
