What is EP 1.204?<\/b><\/h3>\n

EP 1.204 (effective February 1, 2023)<\/span><\/a> addresses violations of the University of Hawai‘i’s policy on Sex Discrimination<\/a>, Sex-Based Harassment, Sexual Assault<\/a>, Sexual Exploitation<\/a>, Domestic and Dating Violence<\/a>, and Stalking. This policy, in conjunction with<\/span> AP 1.204 (effective January 2022)<\/span><\/a>, outlines the expectations for appropriate conduct and resolution processes for addressing conduct that does not meet these standards.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is EP 1.202?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Historically, <\/span>EP 1.202<\/span><\/a> was commonly thought of as the “civil rights” policy that prohibits discrimination based on protected categories as defined under state (e.g., Hawaii Revised Statutes, Chapter 378) and federal laws (e.g., Title VII). Protected categories under these laws include, for example, race, age, religion, veteran status, as well as sex. <\/span><\/p>\n

How is EP 1.204 different from EP 1.202 if they both address protected categories under state and federal law?<\/b><\/h3>\n

While there is some overlap between the prohibitions of sex-based harassment and related offenses under <\/span>EP 1.202<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>EP 1.204 (effective February 1, 2023)<\/span><\/a>, the University has decided to place all sex-based misconduct exclusively under <\/span>EP 1.204 (effective February 1, 2023)<\/span><\/a>. As outlined in the second paragraph under “Sec. I – Purpose” of <\/span>EP 1.202<\/span><\/a>, titled “Nondiscrimination and Equal Opportunity Policy,” <\/span>EP 1.202<\/span><\/a> will now address all protected categories, other than sex-based categories. <\/span><\/p>\n

In turn, <\/span>EP 1.204 (effective February 1, 2023)<\/span><\/a> includes <\/span>all<\/span> forms of sex discrimination and harassment. This includes all sex-based discrimination, sexual exploitation, and non-sex-based stalking<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Which version of EP 1.204 governs incidents occurring on or after January 18, 2025?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Effective January 18, 2025, EP 1.204 (effective February 1, 2023)<\/span><\/a>, will govern all applicable conduct occurring from that date forward. Generally, policies apply to incidents occurring after their effective date, while procedures take effect <\/span>immediately<\/b> and govern <\/span>new<\/b> cases from that point.<\/span><\/p>\n

For questions regarding which policy or procedure applies, please contact your campus <\/span>Title IX Coordinator<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Intersection with the Law<\/b><\/h3>\n

A number of federal laws and regulations, including Title IX<\/a>, the Violence Against Women Act, and the Clery Act<\/a> mandate how institutions respond to allegations of sex discrimination and related misconduct. Additionally, many forms of sex discrimination also constitute violations of Â鶹´«Ã½ law.<\/span><\/p>\n

Who’s Protected?<\/b><\/h3>\n

All members of the campus community, including students, staff, faculty, guests, and visitors are protected by <\/span>EP 1.204 (effective February 1, 2023)<\/span><\/a>, regardless of sex. The University maintains jurisdiction over all incidents of sexual misconduct involving members of the campus community, if the conduct occurred within any Educational Program or Activity operated by the University, including those related to admission and employment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your Rights & Responsibilities<\/b><\/h3>\n

All members of the campus community, as well as guests and visitors have a right to be free from Sex Discrimination, Retaliation<\/a>, and Sex-based Harassment. Everyone is expected to conduct themselves in a manner that respects and does not infringe upon the rights of others.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sanctions<\/b><\/h3>\n

When individuals are found to have violated the policy, the University will impose appropriate sanctions. For additional information about campus crime, state laws, and disclosures related to sexual misconduct, please refer to your campus’s Annual Security Report, posted on your campus’s website.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
