Harassment counseling service
Harassment refers to a behavior that makes others feel uncomfortable. (For example, references made to sex, race, nationality, age, origin, and physical or mental disabilities.) Basically, if the recipient of the behavior feels uncomfortable, it falls under the harassment. When this happens, consult a student counselor immediately. Your privacy will be maintained at all times and you will not be put in a disadvantaged position by consulting. Furthermore, besides the victim, any third person witness to the harassment are encouraged to consult with the student counselor.
