It is imperative that all employees, students, and vendors comply with both the spirit and intent of federal, state, and local laws, government regulations, and court orders which relate to sexual harassment.

All students, managers, administrators, faculty, staff, and vendors have a responsibility to adhere to the contents of this policy.

To the extent possible, all complaints of sexual harassment shall be considered confidential, and only those persons who are necessars' for the investigation and resolution of the complaints will be given information regarding the matter. As much as possible consistent with the university's legal obligations to protect the rights and security of its employees and students, the university will respect the confidentiality of both the complainant and the accused.

THE UNIVERSITY
Location
lUP, the lurgi'st state-owned university in Pennsylvania's State System of Hij;her Education, is located in Indiana, Pennsylvania, a community of 30,000 about fifty-five miles northeast of Pittsburgh and thirty miles north of lohnstown. Situated in the Allegheny foothills, Indiana has a moderate clirnate conducive to study the year round and a wide variety of historical, cultural, and recreational facilities both immediately at hand and in neighboring population centers.
A University Education
As an institution of higher learning, lUP is committed to the preservation, expansion, and transmission of knowledge in all its forms. As a university within the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education, lUP has primary responsibilities of providing high-quality education at a reasonable cost and assessing and responding to the higher educational needs of the commonwealth; as a university, lUP has the responsibility of being concerned with the needs of the nation as a whole and those of the international community at large so far as resources allow.
At the graduate level, lUP is committed to encouraging intellectual excellence, research, and scholarship; to providing in- depth study in each student's special field; and to stimulating continued cultural and intellectual growth for faculty and students.
The general mission of doctoral programs is to encourage the pursuit of knowledge through intellectual inquiry. Doctoral offerings will be primarily professional with emphasis on business, education, public policy studies, human services, social sciences, and applied science and technology, while allowing for distinctive, theoretical programs in the arts and sciences. Doctoral programs reflect the special role of lUP in the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education by meeting, in particular, identified state, regional, national, and international needs. lUP is further committed to meeting these needs by offering cooperative programs with other State System institutions. Doctoral programs will be offered in areas of need and when institutional resources allow.
The mission of the master's and specialist/certificate levels is to sustain and to develop programs of a similar high quality while, in general, emphasizing more applicable professional skills. Master's and specialist/certificate programs should be based on institutional strengths and should, in addition to other goals, address state and regional needs.
lUP is committed to conducting and disseminating basic and applied research and expects and encourages such scholarly
activity in all forms.
lUP provides continuing education for adults through conferences, workshops, short courses, training programs, and degree programs for part-time students. The university strives to meet the cultural and professional needs of the community through its outreach programs and public service activities.
History of the University
lUP has witnessed a history rich in accomplishment. Since 1875, when it served only 225 students in a single building, it has experienced continuous growth, becoming Pennsylvania's fifth largest university. The current enrollment is over fourteen thousand, with students from thirty-seven states and fifty-eight countries.
The first building, named )ohn Sutton Hall in honor of the first president of the Board of Trustees, was opened for students on
May 17, 1875.
In April, 1920, control and ownership of the school passed to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. In May, 1927, by authority of the General Assembly, the State Normal School became a college, with the right to grant degrees. The name was then changed to the State Teachers College at Indiana, Pennsylvania. In 1959, the legislature approved a change of name to Indiana State College; in the 1960s there followed a rapid growth in the liberal arts program.
lUP started awarding M.Ed, degrees in 1958 and had awarded 516 by 1965. In December, 1965, Indiana was redesignated Indiana University of Pennsylvania and given the authority to expand its curriculum and to grant additional degrees at the master's level. At this time the first doctoral program was initiated.
Recently, lUP was recognized in the Princeton Review's 2006 edition of The Best 361 Colleges and in Careers and Colleges magazine. The Robert E. Cook Honors College was featured in the 2000 publication Cool Colleges by Donald Asher.
Graduate Education at lUP
Graduate education was inaugurated at lUP in September, 1957. The universit)' currently offers programs leading to the iMaster of Arts, Master of Business Administration, Master of Education, Master of Fine Arts, Master of Science, Doctor of Psychology, Doctor of Education, and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. Nondegree programs leading to certification in various teaching and school ser\'ice fields are also available.
INDIANA UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA 2006-2007 GRADUATE CATALOG

With the addition in 1995 of 137 acres of undeveloped land from the former Campbell and County farms, the main campus now comprises 341 acres, on which are located 75 buildings owned by the commonwealth and seven athletic fields. Two of the buildings, Breezedale and John Sutton Hall, have been entered in the Register of History Places.
The Punxsutawney Regional Campus totals approximately 8 acres consisting of two sites - four buildings at the West School Complex, including a new apartment-style residence hall for approximately 200 students, and two buildings at the Academy of Culinary Arts.
The Armstrong Regional Campus is located at Northpointe, a business and lifestyle community, located off Route 28 at the Slate Lick exit with the mailing address of Freeport. The campus consists of one academic building of approximately 23,600 square feet located on approximately five acres with parking for 256 commuters, faculty, and staff
The Student Co-op owns and operates the newly renovated Hadley Student Union Complex at the main campus that includes a large fitness center, handball/racquetball courts, floor court and catering area, computer lounges, expanded meeting rooms, and an expanded bookstore. The Co-op Recreational Park, located a few miles from the campus, consists of 280 acres and several buildings, including a lodge and a ski hut. The wooded hillsides offer opportunities for nature study and outdoor recreational activities such as softball, picnicking, hiking, cross-country skiing, and exercise trails.
Administration and Finance Division
The Division of Administration and Finance provides internal and external constituents of the university with the highest-quality services in the most supportive and cost-effective manner. In contributing toward the fulfillment of lUP's mission of teaching, research, and public service, the division is responsible for the development, stewardship, enhancement, integrity, and stability of the university's fiscal, human, and physical resources.
Major responsibilities of the division are organized and operated from the five distinct departments of Facilities Management, Fiscal Affairs, Human Resources, University Police/Public Safety, and Printing Center/Bulk Mail Services. The physical campus consists of 341 acres and 75 major buildings on the main campus in Indiana along with regional campuses located in Punxsutawney and Northpointe.
In September of 1993, the division developed, directed, coordinated, and produced lUP's Long-Range Campus Development Plan. The plan, approved and published in February of 1996, permits versatile and flexible guidance for which the physical plant and facilities can be maintained and expanded in support of lUP's academic goals and aspirations for its future. The Long-Range Campus Development Plan continues to guide the university as it prepares effective and orderly financial plans for implementing the proposed changes in physical facilities.
Inclement Weather Policy
Indiana University of Pennsylvania is committed to the safety and security of its students, faculty, staff, and visitors. Therefore, the decision as to whether the university should close or remain open during periods of adverse weather conditions is based on the overall concern for the university community. In general, however, lUP's practice will be to remain open and to conduct classes as usual during periods of inclement weather
Closure of the university: Should adverse weather conditions arise or be anticipated that would make it inadvisable to operate the university on a given day, the president may, at his or her discretion, close the institution (i.e., cancel all classes and on- campus activities at all campuses).
