SCHOOL FOR ADVANCED RESEARCH
STATEMENT ON SEXUAL MISCONDUCT
The School for Advanced Research (SAR) values every individual who works at, resides on, or visits our campus. Sexual misconduct injures and demeans any person to whom it is directed. It destroys the scholarly and artistic environment that is essential to achieving SAR’s mission. Consequently, SAR does not tolerate any type of sexual misconduct in the workplace [or in any situation that is mission–related (e.g., SAR sponsored activity or event.)]
Sexual misconduct refers to verbal and physical sexual acts directed to a person through force or coercion; or where a person has not given consent, or is unable to give consent due to his or her use of alcohol or drugs, or disability or age. It encompasses a range of behaviors, including sexual assault, sexual harassment, intimate partner violence, stalking, voyeurism, and any other conduct of a sexual nature that is nonconsensual or has the effect of threatening, intimidating, or coercing a person.
SAR values the right of every person to enter our campus and experience an environment free from sexual misconduct. We encourage any person who has been affected by sexual violence to contact the following service providers:
SAR Staff:
Carol Sandoval, HR Director sandoval@sarsf.org or 505-954-7221
Alex Kalangis, VP for Finance and Administration kalangis@sarsf.org 505-954-7226
Michael F. Brown, President mfbrown@sarsf.org 505-954-7211
