EPFL is acting on harassment

EPFL has adopted a series of prevention, support and follow-up measures against harassment. Alain Herzog/EPFL - EPFL has adopted a series of prevention, support and follow-up measures that were recommended by the School's Harassment Task Force. In a recent survey of the EPFL community, 80% of respondents indicated that they were satisfied with the overall climate on campus but that improvements were needed in terms of safety, equality and efforts to fight discrimination. EPFL aims to provide its student body and staff with a safe environment where they can grow and flourish. That's why fighting discrimination, harassment and violence is now a top priority that the School is tackling head-on. The Task Force Harassment A-Z & Promoting a Culture of Respect was set up in January of this year. It is composed of six inclusive working groups that bring together representatives of the EPFL community, including both AGEPoly and its Polyquity commission - the association that shone a light on harassment at the end of 2020 through its #PayetonEPFL campaign.
