Write carefully. Your email is public property. Once you send an email
message, you cannot take it back.
Indicate humor or jokes with a sideways smiley face. :-) or emoticons
Be diplomatic. Criticism is always harsher when written and email can be
easily forwarded.
Be calm. You may have misunderstood what was meant. Don't reply while
you're still angry "flaming".
Mind FERPA: Do not use/include student’s identifiers
such as name and SSN together to protect student privacy.
Be brief.
Do a spellcheck!
Bullying is acts or verbal comments that could
'mentally' hurt or isolate a person in the workplace.
Workplace bullying often involves an abuse or
misuse of power. Bullying includes behavior that
intimidates, degrades, offends, or humiliates a
worker, often in front of others. Bullying behavior
creates feelings of defenselessness in the target and
undermines an individual’s right to dignity at work.
Sexual Harassment in the Workplace
Sexual harassment ranges from derogatory
comments to unwanted sexual advances and
threats to sexual assault, and rape. Harassment
can have particularly negative consequences for
workers in low-wage jobs because these workers
can least afford to have their livelihoods
threatened. The Fair Employment Protection Act
provides crucial protections for workers from
harassment.
