      Well,
      like
      every
      other
      univer-
     
     
      sity
      in
      Canada....
      itdoes!
      And
      the
      reason
      it
      does
      is
     
     
      that,
      unfortunately,
      universities
      -
      like
      workplaces
      -are
     
     
      areas
      where
      unacceptable,
      sexually
      oriented
      behaviour
     
     
      can
      be
      exhibited.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Not
      everybody
      is
      aware
      that
      his
      or
      her
      behaviour
     
     
      could
      be
      interpreted
      as
      inappropriate
      or
      sexually
     
     
      harassing.
      However,
      there
      are
      certain
      types
      of
