What constitutes discriminatory harassment?
Discriminatory harassment is defined as any behavior that has the specific purpose or a reasonably foreseeable effect of creating an offensive, demeaning, intimidating or hostile environment for a person based on his or her race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, disability or military status. Is joking about sex considered sexual harassment? Any behavior that is of a sexual nature and unwelcome is considered sexual harassment. This includes, but is not limited to, humor or jokes about sex, sexist remarks about a person’s clothing, body or sexual activities, verbal harassment or abuse of a sexual nature, leering at a person’s body, or displaying sexually suggestive or pornographic materials. What should I do if I think I’ve been discriminated against? Any person having a grievance related to pre-employment, employment or post-employment matters at Emory may initially inform the Office of Equal Opportunity Programs (EOP) and discuss the grievance procedure.
