反霸凌歧视性骚扰指南

最后更新 @October 15, 2025

Dear ROMA Lab Members,

This email is a crucial part of our lab's ongoing commitment to fostering a safe, professional, and respectful environment for every member. We reaffirm our zero-tolerance policy towards any form of sexual harassment.

To ensure our policies are clear and practical, we have developed a detailed educational guide. This guide moves beyond abstract definitions to provide concrete, context-specific examples of what constitutes unacceptable behavior within a university lab setting.

Additionally, we have included a self-assessment quiz to help you reflect on and solidify your understanding of these concepts.

Our primary goal is prevention through education. However, if any situation arises, it is imperative that you follow the correct internal procedure. To ensure a controlled, fair, and discreet process, the first and only person you should contact is me, Xiangguo SUN, as the Lab Lead. I am uniquely positioned to understand our lab's dynamics and to handle matters with the necessary confidentiality and seriousness.

Please do not escalate issues to the university or through public channels (such as social media like 小红书、微信朋友圈、微博, etc) without first consulting me. Internal resolution is the fastest and most effective way to address concerns while protecting all parties involved.

Your cooperation is essential in maintaining the integrity and well-being of our ROMA Lab community.

Kind regards,

Dr. Xiangguo SUN (he/him),  ROMA Lab Lead

Young Chair Professor, Southeast University

Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, CN

D. 权力滥用 / Abuse of Power (特别针对导师与高年级学生 / Particularly for Supervisors & Senior Students)

• EN: A supervisor hinting that better project assignments or recommendation letters could be exchanged for sexual favors or romantic attention.

• CN: 导师暗示可以用更好的项目分配或推荐信来交换性好处或浪漫关注。

• EN: A senior student using their position to pressure a junior member into a personal relationship.

• EN: Why report to me first? I am in the best position to investigate the matter internally, discreetly, and fairly, with minimal disruption to our lab and the individuals involved. Publicizing the issue on campus or online (e.g., Xiaohongshu) can be harmful and is against our lab's procedure for handling these matters.

• CN: 为何首先向我汇报？我最有能力在内部、谨慎且公平地进行调查，并最大限度地减少对我们实验室及相关个人的干扰。将问题公开到校园或网络（如小红书）可能是有害的，并且违反我们实验室处理此类事件的程序。
