In the case of psychotropics classified as anti-psychotic, the proscribed period shall be two years.
In addition, no individual who has been hospitalized for a mental or emotional disorder within the past five years will be admitted
into the Program or permitted to continue in the Program.
DISCUSSION
Individuals who participate in BBSH programs may encounter situations that initiate deep personal process. Frequently, an individual
who is on these types of medications or has been hospitalized for the above reasons cannot tolerate stressful emotional situations.
He/she must postpone enrollment in the School or, in the case of active students, withdraw from the School. A student can reapply
to the School after he/she has been medication-free and/or not hospitalized for the appropriate period and he/she feels that
he/she can comfortably engage in deep self-exploration.

BBSH endeavors to enhance and foster increasing sensitivity to the creation of a study and learning environment between and
among students, Teachers and staff members that is respectful and honoring of individual rights and freedom and that provides
a collegial environment encouraging professional growth. In keeping with this policy, discrimination or harassment of any student,
Teacher or staff member on the basis of race, color, religion or creed, national origin, disability, marital status, sex, gender, pregnancy,
or sexual orientation is strictly forbidden and will not be condoned.1
Each student, Teacher and staff member is responsible for creating an atmosphere free of discrimination and harassment, sexual
or otherwise. We ask that BBSH students, Teachers and staff diligently be conscious of their own and others’ actions.
For purposes of this policy, sexual harassment by a student, teacher or staff member includes unwelcome sexual advances,
requests for sexual favors, sexually motivated physical conduct or other verbal or physical conduct or communication of a sexual
nature when:
(i) submission to that conduct or communication is made a term or condition, either explicitly or implicitly, of employment,
or obtaining an education, or participating in a BBSH program or activity; or
(ii) submission to or rejection of that conduct or communication by an individual is used as a factor in decisions affecting
that individual’s employment or education; or
(iii) that conduct or communication is so severe and pervasive that it has the purpose or effect of substantially or unreasonably
interfering with an individual’s employment or education, or creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive employment or
educational environment.
Examples of conduct that may constitute sexual harassment include, but are not limited to:
• Demanding sexual attention with implied or overt threats or rewards;
• Inappropriate or unwelcome energetic sexual attention;
• Leering or ogling at a person’s body;
• Physical assault or battery, including rape;
• Sexual advances;
• Touching, patting, grabbing, kissing, or hugging or restraining someone’s movement in a sexual way;
• Sexual jokes;
• Sexually suggestive or foul language;
• Unwelcome sexually motivated or inappropriate physical contact and unwelcome sexual behavior or words;
• Display of offensive or sexual items or pictures.
