Examples of behavior inconsistent with DeCA’s anti-Harassment policy include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Threatening that rejection of sexual overtures will affect appointments, promotions, transfers, or evaluations.
2. Belittling caricatures or objects depicting individuals negatively.

5. Obscene or lewd comments, slurs, jokes, epithets, suggestions or gestures.
6. Displaying nude or sexually suggestive objects, pictures, images or cartoons.
7. Laughing at, ignoring or retaliating against an employee who raises a harassment allegation.
