Without limiting the generality of the above, sexual harassment shall include (but not be confined to) the following:

a. When unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favours, or verbal/physical conduct of a sexual nature—explicitly or implicitly—are made a condition for instruction, employment, participation, or evaluation of an individual’s engagement in any academic or campus activity.

b. When unwelcome sexual advances, or verbal, non-verbal, or physical conduct such as loaded comments, slander, sexually coloured jokes or remarks, letters, phone calls or e-mails, gestures, showing pornography, lurid stares, physical contact or molestation, stalking, or sounds/displays of a derogatory nature, have the purpose or effect of interfering with an individual’s performance, or of creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive campus environment.
