EUGENE (AP) - A
new conduct code for the
University says a student
can be suspended or ex
pelled for exhibiting un
wanted sexual behavior
toward someone else.
The new code is being
filed this week with the
Oregon Secretary of
State’s Office, the Univer
sity said Tuesday.
It is almost identical to
the old code, with the ex
ception of a new offense,
unwanted sexual behav
ior. The new r ode goes
into effect Nov. 15.
"The message this
new offense conveys is
very important," Assis
tant Dean of Students
Elaine Green said Tues
day. "It tells all students
— and, by extension, the
rest of the campus com
munity — that unwanted
sexual behavior will not
be tolerated."
Green said unwanted
sexual conduct covered
by the act could take the
form threats of physical
harm, or it could be
words or conduct that a
reasonable person would
know was unwanted and
would cause emotional
distress.
