Description Manifestations of harassment and bullying are acts of violence that people can suffer in any environment: work, friends, and family. Authorities of the Autonomous University of Yucatan (UADY[1]) are concerned that these acts may be occurring inside the institution, given the consequences implied both to the inside and outside of the institution.This research is quantitative, transversal and descriptive with a sample of 338 participants, taken from the student enrollment universe of the Faculty of Accounting and Administration (FCA[2]) of UADY. The instrument which was applied, measured the prevalence of sexual harassment in this faculty. The statistical analysis was conducted to answer the following research questions: Have male or female students suffered from sexual harassment in school? How do they feel about? Who has been responsible for the harassment?What actions have been taken into this violation of their integrity?The results show that the events that most students have experienced in the FCA are exposure to posters, calendar, letters, phone calls, lurid glances and compliments, comments of a sexual nature. Events that are second in experimentation are hints or suggestions for sex, pressure to accept invitations or unwanted encounters and physical contact without consent. Lower incidence events are punishments, abuse and isolation and fear of being attacked / sexually abused.
