Sexual Harassment.
The University of Nebraska reaffirms that all women and
men--administrators, faculty, staff and students--are to be treated
fairly and equally with dignity and respect. Any form of sexual
harassment is prohibited.
Sexual harassment is defined as unwelcome sexual advances, requests
for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual
nature when:
- submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly
a term or condition of an individual's employment or academic standing,
- submission to, or rejection of, such conduct by an individual is
used as the basis for employment decisions or academic decisions
affecting such individual, or
- such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering
with an individual's work or academic performance or creating an
intimidating, hostile, or offensive working/academic environment.
Sexual harassment will not be condoned in the work place or outside of
the work place if such acts affect the work environment or
student/teacher relationship.

Safety.
The University of Nebraska at Kearney is concerned about the safety and
welfare of all employees, students, and visitors to the campus. Each
employee is expected to participate in the University Safety Program
and by conducting their daily activities in the safest possible manner,
reporting and/or correcting safety hazards, wearing appropriate
protective equipment, and participating in appropriate safety
orientations or training. Each employee should also be aware that there
is a Safety Committee on campus that meets quarterly to consider safety
issues. A listing of committee members is available at the Campus
Security Office. Further, employees should be aware that there is an
active Hazardous Materials (HAZMAT) program on campus, and there is a
Hazardous Materials Technician available to assist them with any HAZMAT
concern. Only persons with the appropriate Department of Transportation
Training may pack and label "hazardous materials" or "dangerous goods"
being shipped from this campus. This training must be documented and
current. Hazardous materials include: explosives, flammable solids,
liquids and gasses, oxidizers, poisonous materials, corrosive
materials, all compressed gasses, water reactive and air reactive
materials, infectious substances and radioactive materials. Dangerous
goods are articles or substances which are capable of posing a
significant risk to health, safety and property when transported and
are not classified by ICAO or IATA as dangerous goods. All of these are
defined specifically in DOT regulations. Persons needing to ship such
items must have the applicable DOT training or must contact the Campus
HAZMAT Technician for assistance.
