Workplace Harassment
     Awareness
Workplace harassment is a form of offensive
treatment or behavior, which to a reasonable
person creates an intimidating, hostile or
abusive work environment. It may be sexual,
racial, based on gender, national origin, age,
disability, religion or a person's sexual
orientation. It may also encompass other forms
of hostile, intimidating, threatening, humiliating
or violent behavior, which are not necessarily
illegal discrimination, but are nonetheless
prohibited by this policy.

  “Harassment is in the eye of the beholder”
Sexual harassment is defined as unwelcome sexual
advances, requests for sexual favors, and other
verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature when

  •Submission to such conduct is made either
  explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an
  individual's employment (or grade) or is used as
  a basis for any employment decision (granting
  leave, promotion, favorable performance
  appraisal, etc); Quid pro quo; OR
“Such conduct has the purpose or effect of
unreasonably interfering with an
individual's work (or academic)
performance or creating an intimidating,
hostile or offensive working (learning)
environment."
Which situations could be harassment?



A.   Suggestive photos displayed in an academic
     office.


B.   Repeatedly asking someone for a date.


C.   Gestures which have sexual meaning.
Two Kinds of Sexual Harassment.

          o   Quid pro quo.

     o   Hostile environment.
Quid Pro Quo
Definition: “This for that”

Employment
decisions/student grades
based on sexual favors
Examples of Quid Pro Quo
          •   Firing an employee or
              failing a student who
              ends a romantic
              relationship
          •   Changing performance
              expectations after an
              employee or student
              refuses repeated requests
              for a date.
Hostile Environment
     When verbal or nonverbal behavior (in the
     workplace or classroom):

1)   Focuses on the sexuality of another person or
     occurs because of the person’s gender

2)   Is unwanted or unwelcome and

3)   Is severe or pervasive enough to affect the
     person’s work (classroom) environment
Examples of Hostile Environment.

 o Remarks about sexual activity
 o Touching--brushes, pats, hugs,
   shoulder rubs, pinches, etc.
 o Repeated requests for dates
 o Sending sexual mail, notes, e-mail or
   making sexually explicit phone calls
Hostile Environment
 Go for a               That
  date?               sweater
                       is hot!



 Usually repeated several times
Behaviors That May Create
Hostile Environment
When they are UNWANTED:
 •   Off-color jokes or teasing
 •   Comments about body parts or sex life
 •   Suggestive pictures or drawings
 •   Inappropriate language
 •   Leering, stares or gestures
Gender Harassment
o A form of sex discrimination
o Need not be sexual in nature
o Would not have occurred except for
  victim’s gender
o “you’re a pushy broad”
Harassment via technology.


            Communications Act of
             1934 amended in 1968
             regarding telephone calls
            Stalking and harassment
             via e-mail also unlawful
Rabe v Lewisville ISD, 1994
& Molina v Pasadena ISD, 1989

  A teacher with a continuing contract was writing
  a student notes, going over her house when her
  parents were not home, and kissing her on the
  lips constituted good cause for termination on
  grounds of immorality in the case of Rabe v
  Lewisville ISD, 1994. Even if the student consents
  to the relationship, grounds for termination may
  be established. As noted in the Molina v
  Pasadena ISD, 1989 decision, “Even if the student
  were an adult, the fact that a student was as
  student is the controlling point. It is this status
  and this relationship that constitutes immoral
  conduct.”
Victim’s Rights
o   Does not have
    to suffer
    tangibly.

o   Does not have
    to object.
What should you do?

   If you’re a victim:
   • tell your Chair or Dean
   • tell your HR representative
You can stop it
•   Let others know if they behave in a
    way that makes you uncomfortable
What should you do?

If you’re a harasser:
   • reconsider your priorities
   • don’t say things that demean men
     or women
Use your power wisely
•   Use power over students to enrich,
    not instill fear.

•   Use influence with peers to create a
    balanced work environment.

•   Build a cordial atmosphere for
    students, faculty and staff.
Common sense rules to
prevent false claims
   Try not to be alone with students particularly
    in isolated locations.

   Avoid physical contact with student which
    could be misunderstood as sexual in nature.

   Avoid any written communications with
    students which could be misconstrued as
    personal or romantic.
Cont…
 Avoid off-the cuff comments on
  students’ physical appearance or
  discussing personal topics which could
  be construed as sexual.

 Ifa student confides in you regarding
  a personal topic of sexual nature,
  either invite another adult to join the
  conversation or report in writing
  immediately.
