Dealing with sexual harassment The Counseling Center provides a supportive and confidential environment for students to discuss, process and diminish disturbances from a wide variety of personal and emotional concerns including issues associated with sexual harassment. The staff members have significant training and experience in assessment and treatment of conditions that impair functioning for victims of sexual harassment. We have also conducted training on this and related issues.

 

If you feel that you have been sexually harassed, The Student Counseling Center can help.
The Counseling Center is dedicated to providing a safe, confidential environment to share your concerns about these and other issues.

 

You can access our services by calling 503-838-8396, or stop by the Student Health & Counseling Center to make an appointment. Full-time students are eligible to attend six sessions at no cost.

 

Sexual harassment may create a range of unwelcome conditions in your academic or work environment, from consistently uncomfortable to hostile, abusive, demeaning, offensive or intimidating. It may be manifested by verbal and/or physical actions, including gestures and other symbolic conduct. Sexual harassment is not always obvious and overt; it can also be subtle and covert. A person who consents to sexual advances may nevertheless be a victim of sexual harassment if those sexual advances were unwelcome. Also, previously welcomed advances may become unwelcome.

 

Examples of sexual harassment may include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Sexual slurs about one’s gender
  • Contrived work or study assignments and assigning more onerous or unpleasant tasks predominately to employees or students of one gender
  • Repeated unwanted touching, patting or pinching
  • Repeated inappropriate social invitations or requests for sexual favors
  • Repeated unwanted discussions of sexual matters
  • Use of sexual jokes, stories, analogies or images which are not related to the subject of the class or work situation
  • Touching, fondling or deliberate brushing against another person
  • Ogling, leering or prolonged stares at another’s body
  • Display or use of sexual graffiti or sexually-explicit pictures or objects
  • Sexually suggestive jokes, comments, e-mails, or other written or oral communications
