any other unwelcome physical, verbal or nonverbal conduct of asexual nature. An Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) constituted at St. Stephen’s College is responsible for the implementation of the policy against sexual harassment. The Committee takes cognizance of complaints about sexual harassment, conducts enquiries, provides assistance
and redressal to the victims, recommends penalties and takes action against the offender, if necessary. On receiving any complaint of sexual harassment, if a prima-facie the
case is established by the ICC, an enquiry committee shall beset up which will go onto frame and submit a report. The committee is bound to maintain confidentiality during the time of the enquiry. After the report has been finalized, confidentiality will be maintained,
if the complainant so desires, by withholding the complainant’s name and other particulars that would identify him or her. On the basis of the report, appropriate disciplinary action will betaken against the offender. Extracts from the Act are included in the Annexure at the end of this Prospectus. All students should read this carefully and be aware of what amounts to sexual harassment and what the penalties could be,
if found guilty, for harassing anyone.
