York University Politicies and Procedures
Regarding
Sexual Harassment
Who
is Responsible for Preventing Sexual Harassment?
It
is everyone's responsibility to combat sexual harassment,
but it is especially the duty of officers, deans, department
heads, directors, managers, supervisors and other adminitrators
to:
Ensure
widespread awareness of the university's sexual harassment
policy and the procedures for resolution of complaints.
Be
alert for any indication of inappropriate behavior and
move quickly to eliminate it.
Foster
an atmosphere in which it is known that such conduct is
not to be tolerated, and will be dealth with firmly.
As
needed, consult the Personnel Office or the Office of
Equal Opportunity for answers to questions or assistance
with resolution of problems.
How
Can Harassing Behavior Be Stopped?
Every
member of the university community must be aware of the
types of behavior that can be offensive and take prompt
steps to see that it is stopped. It is especially important
that any person who feels uncomfortable, embarrassed or
angry about inappropriately sexualized behavior or materials
should:
Tell
the person responible that the behavior is unpleasant
and unwelcome.
Ask
for assistance from a superviso, department head or personal
representative.
Contact
the Personnel Department, the Faculty/Staff Assistance
Program or the Office of Equal Opportunity for advice
and resolution of the difficulty.
What
Is The Complaint Procedure?
Many
instances of sexual harassment can be resolved informally
within the unit by discussing the problem with the immediate
supervisor. If this does not remedy the situation, a formal
complaint may be filed using the grievance procedures described
in the administration, faculty or staff handbooks. Copies
of these handbooks can be obtained from personnel representatives
or the Office of Personnel.
