This means that Malaspina endeavours to respond appropriately to any incidents of sexual harassment and to educate members of the Malaspina community about sexual harassment. Malaspina has policy and procedures in place to guide responses to complaints of sexual harassment. An Advisor has been assigned to receive complaints and to assist students and employees in dealing with sexual harassment issues. Malaspinas policy provides for a wide range of responses to established complaints of sexual harassment.
Education is a key component in the prevention of sexual harassment.
The Advisor is available to facilitate a workshop in your department or classroom on sexual harassment, sexism, sexual assault or other human rights issues. For support, a survivor of sexual assault can contact Malaspinas Counselling Centre, 753-3245, local 2486. To file a complaint under Malaspinas policy, arrange to meet with the Human Rights Advisor. Sexual assault is a very serious form of sexual harassment. Unlike some other forms of sexual harassment, it is a crime and can be prosecuted.
