Defining Harassment

We all know that harassment can take many forms.

It’s defined as unwelcome behavior that limits an employee’s ability to participate in or benefit from University programs or employment.

And it’s never OK. 

The Office of Equal Opportunity works to make campus safe for all members of our community by erasing harassment. 

Explore the EO website, or call 207.581.1226 if you have questions, think you were or are being harassed, or want to know more about UMaine’s efforts to foster a safe, welcoming and inclusive environment.
