  School of Communication and Information 2013–2015 Academic Policies and Procedures Policy against Verbal Assault, Harassment, Intimidation, Bullying, and Defamation  

Policy against Verbal Assault, Harassment, Intimidation, Bullying, and Defamation

Intolerance, bigotry, and bullying are antithetical to the values of the university, and unacceptable within the Rutgers community. Verbal assault, harassment, intimidation, bullying, or defamation interferes with the mission of the university, and each member of this community is expected to be sufficiently tolerant of others so that all students are free to pursue their goals in an open environment, able to participate in the free exchange of ideas, and able to share equally in the benefits of our educational opportunities. Beyond that, each member of the community is encouraged to do all that she or he can to ensure that the university is fair, humane, and responsible to all students. The Policy against Verbal Assault, Harassment, Intimidation, Bullying, and Defamation seeks to establish certain minimum standards in order for the community to be able to fulfill its mission.

The policy may be viewed here: Policy against Verbal Assault, Harassment, Intimidation, Bullying, and Defamation.

Students who believe themselves to be victims of verbal assault, intimidation, bullying, harassment, or defamation should report such incidents to the dean or the dean of students of their college, school, or campus. In addition, the following individuals have been identified to handle complaints:
