Harassment can come from an advisor, faculty, staff or other students.
This conduct interferes with a grad student's ability to do research and complete the graduate degree. Harassment by an advisor can be particularly traumatizing for grad students who are most vulnerable and face a power differential in which they rely solely on one individual for publications, funding, references and their degree. You are not alone if you are facing this. Please call the GSU or the Women's Centre for confidential action or support. The University of Toronto has a Sexual Harassment Policy and a complaints procedure to deal with this problem.
