RESPONDING  TO  HOSTILE  BEHAVIORS

"Responding to hostile behaviors requires a community effort and strong leadership to send a clear message that these types of behaviors are not acceptable. Here you will find strategies to address incidents when they happen through bystander intervention as well as resources for changing the culture so that these behaviors do not continue to be tolerated. A broad response is necessary for long-lasting change and this should start with supporting the people being targeted by harassers. Experiencing harassment, bullying and discrimination can result in physical, emotional and mental duress. At the end of this page we list types of wellness support resources you should expect to have access to, on and off campus."

DID  YOU  REALLY  JUST  SAY  THAT?

Dealing with Sexist Humor and Behavior at Work.
"Sexist, humorous messages actually increase tolerance for sexual harassment in the workplace. Raunchy jokes/lewd humor that demean or target women and other minority groups are dangerous for company culture. Recipients who stay silent are tacitly endorsing it, and thus they are part of the problem, too. However, the time has come to start calling this out for what it is."
