Hostile and Intimidating Behavior
Hostile and intimidating behavior, sometimes known by the shorthand term “bullying,” is defined in university policy as “unwelcome behavior pervasive or severe enough that a reasonable person would find it hostile and/or intimidating and that does not further the University’s academic or operational interests.” The Hostile and Intimidating Behavior website provides resources for employees on preventing hostile and intimidating behavior, addressing it when it happens, and finding advice, consultation, and support on campus.
Employee Disability Resources
The Disability Coordinator/Employment is a campus resource for employees and applicants if they need advice related to a disability request or concern. Each School, College and Division has a Divisional Disability Representative (DDR) designated to facilitate requests for disability accommodation and medical leave.
