3. Impact not intent
However in reality harassment is difficult to define and may take many forms. It can
range from violence and bullying to less obvious actions such as ignoring someone at
work. A single act or comment can constitute harassment in certain circumstances.
A key concept is that harassment is defined by the perception of the victim (i.e. How it
feels to the recipient) rather than by the intent of the person causing offence. It cannot,
therefore be excused or justified by claiming that it was unintentional or humorous–
action which would be acceptable, even welcome, to one recipient may be harassing to
another. It is important to remember that in the university context, harassment is
relevant to relations between staff and students alike.
Is it alright to comment that your hair smell nice.
