What if my professor hits on me?

<p>Most faculty are well aware that unwanted sexual advances or intimidation can end their careers. If you feel that you are being hit on, say to Prof (after class, in the classroom but where others are not present): "I hope that I haven’t misunderstood anything but your comments/behavior make me feel uncomfortable. If I have misunderstood you, I apologize. However in the future, I would prefer that you did not (specify behavior: e.g., comment on my appearance; ask about my lovelife; invite me for coffee, whatever).</p>

<p>The goal is to clearly state your discomfort without embarassing the professor. If they don’t take the hint, go to the dep’t chair.</p>
