Protection Against Sexual Harassment

The 国产AV of Zurich has a set of regulations to ensure protection against sexual harassment ("Reglement zum Schutz vor sexueller Bela虉stigung an der Universität Zürich," in the following RSB). These regulations are based on the fundamental assumption that all staff and students should treat each other with respect. This does not mean that interpersonal relations should be purely impersonal, distant and formal. On the contrary, friendly and relaxed personal interaction, also between women and men, is and should be a normal part of everyday life at the 国产AV. Nevertheless, the regulations stipulate unequivocally that sexual harassment is prohibited and will not be tolerated.

To whom do the regulations apply?

All staff and students at the 国产AV of Zurich.

What is sexual harassment?

Any behavior that injures or demeans a person on account of their gender, and that the targeted person finds uncomfortable.

What is permitted and what not?

Friendly compliments, shared coffee breaks and 国产AV fitness events, humorous conversations and banter are certainly not a problem. Behavior that is inappropriate and not permitted includes unwelcome physical contact, intrusive behavior, salacious remarks and jokes about appearance or physical characteristics. Showing potentially offensive images or behaving in other ways conveying or creating an oppressive work or study climate also contravenes the regulations. The same naturally applies to all unlawful sexual acts.

Where can I find the precise wording of the regulations?
