Responsibilities of Individuals on Campus

Persons who consider the behavior of others unwelcome need to act reasonably towards stopping it. Students and staff may find it difficult, under certain circumstances, to speak up; however, The University of New Mexico encourages everyone to take action against harassment in our institution.

To address unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature, an individual may directly ask the offender to stop, or ask for help from someone in authority (such as a supervisor, manager, chair, dean, or vice president) or contact the Office of Equal Opportunity, Dispute Resolution or the Division of Human Resources.

Individuals who deal with the public or with personnel from other organizations must always ensure that their own behavior is acceptable. They are strongly encouraged to report incidents of unwelcome behavior by others, and to act responsibly when dealing with unwelcome conduct.
