Harassment, where you feel offended, humiliated or intimidated is unacceptable at UWA.
Harassment may include threats, abuse, insults or taunts based on a person’s characteristics (e.g. sexual orientation, race, beliefs or preferences). If you believe you are being harassed or see someone else being harassed – don't wait, say something.
Racial, sexual or cultural harassment and discrimination on UWA campuses, buses and bus stops should be reported immediately to UWA Campus Security.
