Common use of Hostile Environment Clause in Contracts

Hostile Environment. A hostile environment exists when the conduct is sufficiently severe, pervasive, or persistent that it unreasonably interferes with, limits, or deprives an individual from participating in or benefiting from the Law School’s education or employment programs and/or activities. Whether conduct is sufficiently severe, pervasive, or persistent is determined both from a subjective and objective perspective. The Law School will respond promptly and effectively to reports of any prohibited conduct and will take appropriate action to prevent, to correct, and when necessary, to remedy behavior that violates the Law School’s Discrimination, Harassment, and Retaliation Policy or Sexual Misconduct Policy.
