Harassment Prevention and Resolution Overview

Kyushu University aims to create a healthy and harassment-free campus and working environment. It has implemented strict measures for handling harassment and formulated preventive policies.

Kyushu University's Basic Stance on Harassment

Harassment is an unacceptable act that can cause serious mental and physical pain and financial burden to its victims, and can have a significant impact on their future plans. However, harassment is a complex and diverse issue that is difficult for others to assess the seriousness thereof, and it requires careful attention in dealing with it. Kyushu University shall take the following basic stance toward the prevention of harassment:

  • (1) Harassment is treated with a strict attitude as an act that threatens human dignity and the rights and benefits of enjoying a comfortable campus life.
  • (2) We will conduct educational activities for all members to create a healthy and comfortable working or studying environment free from harassment.
  • (3) In the unlikely event of harassment or problems arising from harassment, we will respond promptly and appropriately, with the victim's relief as our first priority.
  • (4) The perpetrators of harassment shall be asked to reflect on their actions, and strict measures such as disciplinary action, shall be taken to prevent recurrence.

Scope of Harassment Prevention and Resolution

The university's harassment prevention and resolution policies apply to all members of the university, including students, faculty and staff, and directors, whether full- or part-time.
