Types of Harassment

Peer to Peer Harassment

Sexual harassment often involves persons of unequal authority, but it can occur among students or faculty; between employees of equal rank; and among other peers.

Peer to peer harassment is often not difficult to stop. A direct and clear request to the offender to stop the behavior is often effective. If the request to the offender does not stop the behavior, the next step is to ask a supervisor or other campus official to intervene.

Once asked, the official is obligated as the agent of UNM to take appropriate action.
