The 42nd Annual Workshop in Geometric Topology (WGT) to be held at Oberlin College from June 12, 2025 to June 14, 2025 will not tolerate any type of discrimination or harassment based on the following categories: race, color, sex, religion, national origin, disability, age, genetic information, military or veteran status, ancestry, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression in employment, educational programs and activities, and admissions. In addition, the WGT will not tolerate sexual and/or gender-based harassment, discrimination and violence, including sexual assault, stalking, and dating or domestic violence, which are referred to in this policy as sexual misconduct. The WGT is committed to taking all appropriate steps to eliminate these forms of sexual misconduct, prevent their recurrence, and address their effects. This policy outlines WGT’s values, prohibited conduct, resources, and reporting options, and processes for reporting instances of discrimination and harassment.
This policy applies to all individuals associated with the WGT, including, but not limited to, speakers, faculty, graduate students, undergraduates, and attendees. This policy applies to both on-campus and off-campus conduct. In particular, off-campus conduct is subject to this policy if the conduct occurred in the context of an education program or activity of the WGT or had continuing adverse effects on participation in the program or activity.
The WGT will take immediate action in all allegations of discrimination and/or harassment including sexual and/or gender-based harassment, discrimination and violence, including sexual assault, stalking, and dating or domestic violence to protect the safety of the community and individuals involved. The WGT encourages anyone who has experienced, witnessed or has information pertaining to a potential violation of this policy to take an active role in reporting this behavior. The WGT speakers, faculty, graduate students, undergraduates, and attendees are encouraged to report information regarding an incident of sexual misconduct to designated employees of Oberlin College for the WGT. These reporting options are: Campus Safety, the Title IX Coordinator, and Local Conference organizer Jack Calcut. The WGT recognizes, however, that an individual may choose to report to any College employee, even those not specifically designated as a reporting option. The WGT encourages all community members to take reasonable and prudent actions to prevent or stop an act of sexual misconduct. Community members who exercise this obligation will be supported by the WGT and protected from retaliation.
