Tell the harasser assertively that you do not like the behavior and expect it to stop.

Consider sending a letter that tells the harasser to stop.  The letter should give details about the behavior or  incidents that you find offensive, your reactions to them, and what you want to happen.

If you confront the harasser face to face, ask a friend to join you.  Do not feel that you need to be modest about embarrassing the harasser - it is your rights that have been violated

Do not feel guilty.  You did not cause the harassment, and you are not responsible for it.

Write down what happened - who, when, where, what was said or done, and witnesses, etc.  Be as specific as  possible.

Report the harassment to the Equal Opportunity Officer, Jana Estergard, Siceluff Hall, Room  296 ( 836-4252); the Dean of Students, or other school official.
