The man in charge of my TAship (& our TA training) 1st sem. grabbed my ass at happy hour and said, “would you like to suck on my straw?”. I walked away. Reported it to (male) chair & they said, “that’s just how he is, he’s friendly”. There were no consequences for him.

I have been sexually harassed and stalked by a janitor while working in academia, but people in my lab did not believe me. If I had to work late, no one wanted to stay late with me so I would not have to face him alone.
