Relevant Excerpt

Gender-based harassment, which refers to acts of aggression, intimidation, stalking, or hostility based on gender, gender identity, or gender-stereotyping.  Gender-based harassment can occur if students are harassed either for exhibiting what is perceived as a stereotypical characteristic of their sex, or for failing to conform to stereotypical notions of masculinity or femininity.  To constitute harassment, the conduct must unreasonably interfere with an individual's education or academic activities or create an intimidating, hostile, demeaning, or offensive academic or living environment.
