The Department of Justice's policy is to maintain a working environment which is free from any form of harassment
related to a person's sex, race, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation*, mental or physical disability.
This policy prohibits sexual harassment of employees because it, like other forms of harassment, interferes with a
productive working environment, interjects irrelevant considerations into personnel decisions, and generally demeans the
victims of harassment. Moreover, sexual harassment is a violation of Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
All managers, supervisors, and employees are reminded that in her memorandum of June 29, 1993, Attorney General Janet
Reno stated that "sexual harassment will not be tolerated in the Department of Justice."
