Discrimination and Harassment. All employees have the right to work in an environment free from all forms of harassment, including sexual harassment. DEFINITION Discrimination is perceived or actual behaviour and includes sexual harassment as a type of discrimination which, generally, is:
a) Discriminatory in nature based on race, colour, age, ancestry, place of origin, political belief, religion, marital status, family status, physical or mental disability, gender, sexual orientation, Union or association membership, or because that person has been charged or convicted of a criminal offence that is unrelated to the position; and/or,
b) Objectionable because the person committing such behaviour knows or ought to reasonably know that the behaviour creates an environment which is not conducive to work. For the purposes of paragraph 2.09 (b), objectionable behaviour includes, but is not limited to:
i) Verbal abuse or threats;
ii) Offensive remarks, jokes, innuendoes, or taunting;
iii) Display of pornographic, racist, or other offensive or derogatory material;
iv) Persistent unwelcome invitations or requests whether direct or indirect;
v) Unwelcome physical contact such as touching, patting, pinching or punching; and,
vi) Leering, badgering, or intimidating actions. Sexual Harassment is defined as unwelcome sexual advances, request for sexual favours, and other verbal, written, or physical conduct of a sexual nature when:
vii) Submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual’s employment;
viii) Submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for employment decisions affecting such individual;
ix) Such conduct interferes with an individual’s work performance or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment.
Discrimination and Harassment. (i) While recognizing the importance of free inquiry and open discussion of all issues, the University’s commitment to developing, maintaining and safeguarding a residence atmosphere free from discriminatory harassment means that words, symbols and/or actions, which make the educational and social environment at the University hostile, insulting, threatening or unwelcoming for a person because of his or her citizenship, race, place of origin, ethnic origin, colour, ancestry, disability, age, creed (religion), sex, pregnancy, gender identity, gender expression, family status, marital status, sexual orientation, or receipt of public assistance, will not be tolerated.
