When we allow ourselves to be referred to or addressed in this manner, we open the door to other offenses. Students, particularly females, should pro tect themselves at all times when dealing with staff, faculty and administrators, as well as other students (See p.30, CAU Student Handbook, 1994-1995.) Surely, not all incidents may be prevent ed, but if you make it known that this behav ior will not be tolerated, then offenders must accept the responsibility for their actions towards others. For any man (or woman for that matter) to touch me, a special relationship must exist in the form of friendship, husband, or relative. Outside such relationships, there is no need to get physical! There is also no need to not ask my name and use it appropriately, because I am not your sweetheart, baby, honey, sugar, or any thing else, even if you are too lazy, trifling or unconcerned to ask my name. If this is the case, then a simple “ma’am” (or “sir”) “sister” (or “brother”) will suffice and it is definitely not necessary for you to touch me to get a point across. In this day and age, it is crucial that in order to be that which we profess, we must act accordingly, or get called on the carpet to prove our claims. Everyone in this institution should become familiar with how to act and interact in a professional environment lest we fall victim to our behavior and show that we really are uninformed, underdeveloped and undereducated at Clark Atlanta University.
