The University is committed to creating and maintaining a community in which students, faculty and staff can work together in an atmosphere free of all forms of assault, sexual harassment, exploitation, or intimidation. Every member of the UVI community should be aware that such behavior is prohibited by both federal and local law, and by University policy. Sexual harassment is defined as deliberate, unsolicited, and un-welcomed sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature or with sexual implications. Personal compliments, social interaction, or relationships freely entered into and welcomed by the recipient do not constitute sexual harassment. Sexual assaults, forcible and non-forcible rape, are considered criminal offenses subject to disciplinary action, arrest and imprisonment.
Students who believe they have been sexually harassed in violation of the University's policy, should notify the Counselor. Employees who believe they have been sexually harassed should immediately notify the University's Equal Employment Opportunity Commission Officer (EEOC) through Human Resources. Victims of sexual assault, whether students or employees, should notify Campus Security as well as file charges with the V.I. Police Department.
The University of the Virgin Islands seeks to encourage and sustain an academic environment that respects individual freedom and promotes the health, safety and welfare of all members of its community. In keeping with these objectives, the University has established policies and guidelines governing the possession, sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages on the University's campuses. These policies and guidelines are in compliance with laws of the Virgin Islands.
UVI does not condone possession, use, or distribution or marijuana, LSD, hallucinogens or narcotics by anyone in any campus facility or on University grounds. Any individual known to possess, use or distribute such drugs is subject to disciplinary action, which could result in suspension, or dismissal, possible arrest, imprisonment and/or a fine, according to Virgin Islands and Federal laws.
Through the UVI's Drug and Alcohol Prevention Education Program, assistance is provided to UVI community members in finding alternatives to alcoholic beverages for stress reduction and promoting social interaction. It also provides referral services and resources for students and staff who experience alcohol-related difficulties.
University security has increased patrols in the campus area and investigates all incidents, but it is vital that each member of the campus community do everything he or she can to be safe.
