An Inclusive Litany

4/25/94

The University of Maryland at College Park includes "licking lips or teeth" and "holding or eating food provocatively" in its official list of "unacceptable gestures and nonverbal behaviors" it says "may be in violation of campus policy on sexual harassment." Also, offering "pseudomedical advice" such as "A little Tender Loving Care (TLC) will cure your ailments" is also on the list. Such advice does "not necessarily have to be specifically directed at an individual to constitute sexual harassment."
