If you do not appear, the arbitration panel may proceed against you in your absence, and may recommend to the Dean that he or she require you to apologize to your class and that if you refuse to apologize, that you be suspended from the University until you do apologize. The University of Northern Ontario is hereby established. Every faculty established by the University shall be governed by a Council, which shall consist of the Dean, the Vice Dean, the Secretary, and such other members as may be determined by the Senate. The Councils of the faculties may make regulations for the good and efficient management of the affairs of the Faculty, including regulations specifying norms of conduct for students, and every such regulation made by the Councils of the Faculties shall have such force and like effect as if enacted in this Act. Harassment is unwelcome behaviour which attempts to assert power over another person in order to obtain one's own objectives.
Harassment can either be psychological or physical.
Intention is not a relevant consideration in determining if harassment has occurred. Students may address complaints about harassment to the Community Relations Co-ordinator. The confidentiality of such complaints shall be assured. The Community Relations Co-ordinator will notify all relevant parties once a formal complaint has been initiated. Drafted in consultation with the individuals concerned, this complaint shall be in writing and shall detail the nature of the complaint.
