As a campus we must move toward a culture that helps prevent HIB from occurring before it begins. The responsibility for preventing it rests with every individual; those in positions of authority – department chairs, supervisors, managers – bear a special responsibility to help ensure that HIB does not happen, and when it happens, to deal with it effectively. Ignoring HIB is not an option.
The campus is creating a growing list of resources to create a healthy climate that is free of hostile and intimidating behavior, harassment, or other forms of potentially destructive behavior.
