I strongly suspect your definition of &quot;harass&quot; borders on what I would call academic discourse.<p>A university and a office are two very distinct environments. University is designed to create an environment for learning, growing, debating, being challenged in ones preconceived notions, and in some ways, it&#x27;s also a crucible to help prepare young adults to enter society as productive members.<p>To apply the same standards of a workplace to an academic institution is ridiculous. In fact, in many ways we want workplaces to become <i>more</i> like university. It&#x27;s another example of the friction and the push back against efforts to sterilize the workplace (trying to prevent it becoming the next &quot;safe space&quot;).
