Workplace violence takes many forms:
it may include fear of violence, threatening behavior, actual threats, pushing, shoving, quarreling, inappropriate touching, actual assault, etc., and it may be perpetrated by fellow employees and fellow students as well as by occasional visitors and family members.

"Threats, threatening behavior, acts of violence against MIT students, employees, visitors, guests or other individuals within the MIT community, or willful damage to property, will not be tolerated. Violations of this policy may lead to disciplinary action up to and including suspension, dismissal, arrest, and prosecution."
