Sexual Harassment - Guidelines for Supervisors

To promote and maintain an atmosphere that discourages sexual harassment, some simple steps may include:

• Regularly alerting staff and students in your area to the University's policy against sexual harassment;
• Circulating copies of the University's policy against sexual harassment and guidelines from time to time;
• Making it clear to staff and students that sexual harassment is not tolerated;
• Displaying and distributing educational and promotional materials including booklets, information leaflets and posters produced by the Committee Against Discrimination and Sexual Harassment;
• Encouraging staff and/or students, especially newly appointed staff, to attend programmes/talks about prevention of sexual harassment and gender equality;
• Arranging an information session or workshop about sexual harassment for staff or students in the workplace or learning area through the Committee if necessary.
