3 UNLAWFUL HARASSMENT POLICY Ross Education, LLC strives to maintain a pleasant learning environment free from intimidation, humiliation, and insult. Harassment on the basis of any lawfully protected characteristic, which includes race, color, religion, gender, sex, pregnancy, national origin, age, disability, height, weight and marital status ("protected characteristics"), will not be tolerated. Definition Unlawful harassment is defined as verbal or physical conduct or communication based on a protected characteristic when: 1. Submission to the conduct or communication is made either an explicit or implicit term or condition of the staff-student or student-student relationship; 2. Submission to or rejection of the conduct or communication by an individual is used as a basis for a decision affecting that individual s relationship with Ross Education, LLC; or 3. The conduct or communication has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's relationship with Ross Education, LLC or creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive learning environment. Examples of prohibited sexual harassment include, but are not limited to: unwelcome sexual advances; requests for sexual favors and other verbal abuse of sexual nature; graphic verbal commentary about an individual s body, sexual prowess or sexual deficiency; sexually degrading, lewd, or vulgar words to describe an individual; leering; pinching or touching a private area of the body; displaying sexual suggestive objects, pictures, posters or cartoons. Examples of prohibited harassment based on protected characteristics other than sex include, but are not limited to, insults, verbal, written, graphic or physical conduct or communication degrading or hostile to a person. Harassment prohibited by this policy must be distinguished from conduct or communication that, even though unpleasant or disconcerting, is not inappropriate in the context of carrying out instructional, advisory, counseling or supervisory responsibilities. Reporting a Violation If a student believes that a violation of this policy has occurred, the student has an obligation to report the alleged violation immediately, preferably within 48 hours, to the Campus Director, to the Chief Administrative Officer or to the CEO of the company. While there is no requirement that the incident be reported in writing, a written report that details the nature of the harassment, dates, times and other persons present when the harassment occurred will enable the Company to take effective, timely and constructive action. An investigation of all complaints will begin promptly. If a Director or the CEO learns that a student believes this policy has been violated, he or she must take adequate steps to ensure that the complaint is investigated. Investigation After notification of the complaint, an investigation will be initiated to gather relevant facts about the complaint. An investigation may include interviews of possible witnesses including the person claiming the harassment occurred, and the person or persons claimed to be involved in or witnesses to the harassment. The Company will conduct all investigations as confidentially and objectively as possible, to the extent consistent with thorough investigation and appropriate corrective action. Resolution After the investigation has been completed, a determination will be made regarding the appropriate resolution of the matter. The determination will be reported to the student who was allegedly subjected to harassment. If the investigation establishes that unlawful harassment or other inappropriate behavior has occurred, immediate and appropriate corrective action, up to and including termination of the employee or student, will be taken to stop the harassment and prevent its recurrence. Misconduct, including unprofessional or harassing conduct or behavior, will be dealt with appropriately. Responsive action would be at the Company s discretion and could include but would not be limited to the following: counseling, warning, demotion, suspension, reprimand, decrease in pay, reassignment, or transfer, or termination of the employee or student.

4 Good Faith Rule and False Claims Ross Education, LLC takes all reports of harassment seriously, and will investigate all alleged violations of this policy. Therefore, employees are expected to bring violations to the Company s attention in good faith. Good faith means that the student has a sincerely held belief, even if erroneous, that the policy has been violated. No Retaliation The Company will not tolerate retaliation against any employee, student, or other person who in good faith reports a violation or perceived violation of this policy, or retaliation against any employee, student, or other person who participates in any investigation as a witness or otherwise.
