Anti-Harassment Policy

Oberlin Swing and Blues is dedicated to providing a safer dance experience for everyone regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, or religion. Participants are expected to respect people’s pronouns. Entering and remaining in this dance venue/event means keeping to these agreements. Event participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or asked to leave the event with a refund at the discretion of the event staff.

Policy violations include:

Offensive verbal comments related to gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, or religion
Deliberate intimidation
Stalking
Non-consensual photography or recording
Sustained disruption of event
Unwanted physical contact
Unwanted sexual attention
Disrespecting pronouns or intentionally misgendering someone.

Participants asked to stop any behavior are expected to comply immediately. We expect participants to follow these rules at all OSwing Blues events. Exhibitors in the venues, sponsor or vendor booths, or similar activities are also subject to the safer space policy.

If a participant engages in behavior which violates this policy, the event staff may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender, contacting Safety and Security, or expulsion from the event with a refund. If you feel unsafe, notice a violation of this policy, or have any other concerns, please contact a member of event staff immediately.

Staff will report violations of the Anti-Harassment policy to Rebecca Mosely, the Title IX Coordinator. Participants who want a confidential reporting option may contact Monique Burgdorf, the Confidential Sexual Misconduct Advocate at 440-775-5203. Trained event staff can be identified by a red ribbon. Staff members receive training in Bystander Support, Peacekeeping, and Survivor Support skills.

Event staff will be happy to help participants contact Safety and Security or local law enforcement, provide escorts, or otherwise help participants feel safe for the duration of the event. Staff are here to support attendees and direct survivors to available resources. We value your attendance.

Survivors can receive immediate confidential support by calling Lorain County or Cleveland Rape Crisis. The Counseling Center and College religious officials can also offer confidential support.
