Employees' Union (BCGEU) Local 703 Support and Instructional Bargaining Units, the BCIT Faculty
and Staff Association and the Student Association agree that all members of the BCIT community
are entitled to work and learn in an environment free from Bullying and Harassment and
Discrimination. To that end, these parties:
• Are committed to providing a learning environment where the individual differences of
all students and employees are valued and respected.
• Will not condone and will not tolerate any Discrimination, Bullying or Harassing
behaviour which undermines the dignity, self-esteem, and productivity of any student or
employee.
• Consider Bullying and Harassment and/or Discrimination by any employee or student to
be a serious breach of human rights which requires immediate resolution. Such
resolution may include disciplinary measures up to and including dismissal or expulsion.
All members of the BCIT community are expected to promote a learning and working
environment of mutual trust and respect. Nothing in this policy or its associated Procedure

Harassment and Discrimination. BCIT is responsible to prevent and remedy situations of Bullying
and Harassment and/or Discrimination as they occur.
