Video: "Preventing
Harassment on Campus: It's Everyone's Responsibility" (Produced
May, 2002)
Interested
in a proactive way to discuss harassment and discrimination within
a university environment? The Office for Equal Opportunity
at North Carolina State University has created a video entitled "Preventing
Harassment on Campus: It’s Everyone’s Responsibility." This
video is available for purchase by other universities and educational
institutions to use with their unlawful harassment programming
and training efforts.
The video features
a speaker who discusses unlawful harassment and also includes
four vignettes that feature harassment based
on race, sex, disability, and religion. The first vignette features
a situation of an African-American male student walking into his
residence hall room and finding a note on his door that reads, "Go
back to Africa." The second vignette exemplifies a "quid
pro quo" situation where a faculty member tells his advisee
that he needs to "get to know her better - on a more personal
level" before he will write her a letter of recommendation
for graduate school. Another vignette involves a teaching assistant
telling the class that she accepts "no excuses" for late
papers or late work and she is not willing to put up with any of
that "learning disability garbage;" this is an example
of hostile environment harassment based on disability. The last
vignette shows how harassment can occur in a variety of academic
environments - even a locker room for athletes. The coach in this
scene tells his basketball players that all of them need to participate
in Christmas services and that this is a "team event." One
of the players on the team is Jewish and does not wish to participate,
but the coach tells him he expects all of his players to be "role
models." The speaker in the video gives a brief overview of
laws regarding unlawful harassment, discusses what a person can
do if she or he experiences harassment, suggests university resources
a person can utilize if he or she experiences harassment, and provides
tips on how to prevent harassment.

video runs for fourteen (14) minutes and the cost of the video
