Sexual harassment can take many forms. It can be verbal, non-verbal, or physical and can range from an overt suggestion that a person could get a higher grade or salary increase by submitting to sexual advances, to an advance or suggestion implied from the conduct, circumstance and relationship of the individuals involved. Such conduct may create an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working or scholastic environment. Indeed, it may make it worse because the harasser may misinterpret no response as approval of the behavior. You do not have to endure abuse from other people.
Sexual harassment is illegal.
The University of Texas at Arlington has a specific policy prohibiting sexual harassment. Familiarize yourself with this policy. Speak Up At The Time. Tell the harasser that their advances are unwelcomed and you want them stopped. Pay attention to cues or comments indicating harassment.
