Osaka University’s goal: ZERO harassment

Osaka University strives to create an environment supportive of education, research, and work. The only way this goal can be achieved is for all members of the university community to work together in eliminating all types of harassment.

Harassment takes many forms. We aim to eliminate all 3!
  • Sexual Harassment

Sexual harassment refers to any unwanted sexual comment or behavior by a faculty, staff, or student directed at another faculty, staff, student, or other person -- unwanted sexual comment or behavior that takes advantage of the relationship(s) between the offender and victim.

 

  • Academic Harassment

Academic harassment refers to any inappropriate and unfair comment or behavior by faculty, staff, or student about another individual’s research, education, or study -- comment and behavior unfairly and inappropriately taking advantage of the offender’s official position, authority, or relationship(s) with the victim.

 

  • Power Harassment

Primarily a labor issue, power harassment refers to any inappropriate and unfair comment or behavior by faculty or staff about the work of another faculty or staff member -- comment or behavior unfairly and inappropriately taking advantage of the offender’s official position, authority, or relationship(s) with the victim.
