Strategy: Privately
support an aggrieved person
Purpose/goal:
Help someone who has been hurt or offended, and/or prevent further
injury or offense.
Listen supportively. Provide information about resources available to the aggrieved
person
Tips:
If the unacceptable behavior is on-going, the principal concern
may be to help the aggrieved person develop a long-term resolution.
Example:
- Situation #2:
A fellow
graduate student receives a public dressing down by a professor in a
lab meeting.
Response: In a private moment with the student a little while
later, voice your concern that the professor was out of line being
so critical in public and suggest that there are people the graduate
student could approach for help, such as the Graduate Student Office
or the Ombuds Office.
