sidebar on accountability and enforcement
accountability
- start with believing report, aggrieved party is the judge of harassment
- Intension of behaviour (for example) does not matter, only the result
strong enforcement (harassment):
- evict from the event or community
- crimes are reported to authorities
- public letter to organization (employer or university) posted on our website, to be fair a willingness to publish response from institution
- violators of code of conduct will be not welcomed to future events, local chapters may also wish to respect this
soft enforcement (example inappropriate language, sexually charged slide material):
- discuss code of conduct with individual, evict from event or community as required
- letter to organization (employer or university) allowing organization to handle matter with discretion
- future event participation requires apology + permission of organizer + signed code of conduct posted in public on our website
