NSF Update: Next Steps against Harassment (September 2018)
NSF Policies Regarding Harassment:
NSF holds responsible the 2,000 U.S. colleges, universities and other institutions that receive NSF funding and requires their implementation of Title IX protections. And NSF encourages NSF-funded researchers and students to hold colleagues accountable to the standards and conditions set forth in Title IX, and to inform their institution of violations.
For any NSF-funded entity that fails to adhere to Title IX, NSF will work with the Departments of Justice and Education to ensure compliance with nondiscrimination laws. NSF may terminate funding to any institution found to be in noncompliance with Title IX regulations and that does not voluntarily come into compliance.
Please note that conduct aboard each UNOLS ship is subject to the policies of its managing insitution. Please visit the institution's webpage for an updated version of their policies governing and reporting harassment at sea. Note that the funding agencies also have a no-tolerance policy for harassment. You may contact the UNOLS Office with any questions : 1.401.874.6826
