What is personal harassment?
Personal harassment is behaviour that humiliates, intimidates, excludes and isolates an individual or group, but is not based on one of the Manitoba Human Rights Code’s prohibited grounds of discrimination.

Personal harassment is objectionable and unwelcome comments or actions directed towards a specific target which serve no legitimate work or academic related purpose and have the effect of creating an intimidating, humiliating, hostile or offensive environment. The person exhibiting this type of behaviour does not need to be in a position of power over you, nor do you have to understand why this is happening to you in order to make a complaint or seek advice.

For further information on the University’s policy that deals with personal harassment (bullying), please see the University of Manitoba’s Respectful Work and Learning Environment Policy.
