Whether activities are taking place at Imperial or away from the university campus, they should be considered an extension of the professional workplace and learning environment and offer the same protections to staff and students. We would therefore expect alumni to view their activity as an opportunity to exemplify Imperial’s commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI), and to the values and behaviours that we want to shape our working environment.
Imperial College London does not tolerate any form of harassment, victimisation, or discrimination directed towards its community, including in person, over the telephone, in writing or online.
Examples of unacceptable behaviour include:
- Causing distress or inconvenience to other alumni, staff or guests.
- Verbal abuse including sexist, racist, or exclusionary comments or jokes, inappropriate sexual attention or innuendo, offensive or belittling comments related to gender, sexual orientation, disability, age, physical appearance, body size, ethnicity or religion.
- Deliberate intimidation, threats, coercion, stalking.
- Inappropriate physical contact, physical assault, or lewd behaviour.
- Harassment such as sustained disruption of events.
- Photographing or recording of an individual without consent.
We expect that members of the Imperial alumni community will treat each other with courtesy and consideration. When someone is asked to stop any behaviour that makes others uncomfortable, they are expected to comply immediately.
