The Department of Psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is strongly committed to creating a positive and safe working environment. The University and Department of Psychology view harassment in any form as unacceptable. Harassment includes, but is not limited to, sexual misconduct, academic bullying, and emotional abuse. Graduate students should be aware that they have rights that empower them to address hostile situations, should they occur. Although speaking up about an uncomfortable situation can be difficult, we cannot help if we are unaware of an adverse situation.
If you are a victim of harassment/assault, we encourage you to visit our Sexual Misconduct page for information about support and other services.
