Mermaids Performing Arts Fund does not tolerate sexual misconduct of any form. This includes, but is not limited to, sexual harassment and assault. Sexual misconduct can happen to anyone and be perpetrated by anyone, of any gender or sexuality, and is a form of gender-based violence. We have outlined below Union and University procedures as pertaining to Mermaids, so that all Mermaids members know how to approach instances of sexual misconduct and understand their options in reporting or not doing so. Mermaids takes sexual misconduct extremely seriously and has written this policy to ensure that the options that do exist are as clear as possible. If you have further questions or thoughts, please reach out to our VP, Taylor (tnc1@), and she will be more than happy to discuss with you. Mermaids tries to create a safe, joyful community of creatives and each of you are an invaluable part of that.
