Conduct on the basis of sex that satisfies on or more of the following:

• An employee conditioning the provision of aid, benefit, or service on an individual’s participation in unwelcome sexual conduct;
• Unwelcome conduct determined by a reasonable person to be so severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive that it effectively denies a person equal access to the recipient’s education programs or activity; or
• Sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, or stalking as defined by the Violence Against Women Act. (VAWA)
