The B.C. Human Rights Code identifies thirteen grounds of prohibited discrimination. Discriminating on any of these 13 grounds violates the Human Rights Code and UBC's Policy on Discrimination and Harassment. Harassment , a form of discrimination, is comment, conduct or behaviour that humiliates, intimidates, excludes and isolates an individual or group based on the BC Human Rights Code's thirteen grounds of prohibited discrimination. Harassment is unwanted and unwelcome attention from a person who knows, or ought to know, that the behaviour is unwelcome. Harassment can range from written or spoken comments to unwanted jokes, gifts, and physical assault, and may be accompanied by threats or promises regarding work or study opportunities and conditions.
Harassment can be either a single incident or a series of related incidents.
