While we leave organization within the group to the group itself, we will not tolerate offensive or inappropriate behaviour. Inappropriate behaviour includes bullying or harassment on account of sex (including gender reassignment), race, ethnic or national origin, colour, disability, sexuality, religion or belief, or age.
Bullying is a form of psychological harassment. It is intimidation that serves to undermine the self-esteem, confidence, competence, effectiveness and integrity of the bully’s target. Bullying behaviour may include continual, undeserved criticism, belittling remarks, shouting, swearing and offensive language, constant interruption in discussion, and the display of overbearing or intrusive behaviour. You should report any such behaviour to the course organizers whether or not it is directed at you.
