Frequently Asked Questions

How do I handle unwanted advances from a co-worker, instructor, fellow, student, or other person?

Sexual harassment should be reported immediately. Staff members need to contact an appropriate supervisor or Human Resources Labor Relations Management at 568-8742 or Human Resources Management at 568-4832. Faculty and residents should follow procedures noted in the Faculty Handbook or Residents and Fellows Policies and Procedures.

Students should notify their student affairs office, their academic advisor, their department head, or the dean of their school.

There will be no discrimination or retaliation for lodging a complaint. Investigations will remain confidential to the extent practicable and appropriate to protect the individual’s privacy. Interviews with the parties involved and with others, having knowledge of the harassment will be necessary.
