Violence is any unwelcome physical or psychological form of harassment, threats, or attaches that cause fear, mental or physical harm, or unreasonable stress and anxiety in the workplace.

Bowling Green State University will not tolerate workplace violence by any employee, student, guest, or visitor.

Often there are warning signs of violence.  A threat is the clearest warning sign of violence.  This includes direct threats, ("I'll get even with him!"), as well as conditional threats, ("If I'm fired, someone will pay!").  Other warning signs may accompany a threat.

BGSU employees who are confronted by individuals exhibiting potentially violent characteristics should document this information and report any signs of potential violence by an individual to their supervisor, department head, University Police, or discuss their concerns with any of the resources listed below.
