@wg_ellenbroek why not speak up to them? I guess they are not on here

@DrVeronikaCH As already pointed out in another reply, my post was unintentionally unclear about the fact that I did not witness the harassment itself, only an account of it. My bad.

@wg_ellenbroek ok but still why not speak up? I understand you'd have to admit to listening in, but... Really, why not?

@DrVeronikaCH in this case the situation really didn't lend itself to that. For a couple of reasons, one of which being that I didn't want to bring the whole classroom into a conversation between students about something that happened off-campus.

@wg_ellenbroek alright, I thought you overheard in the train or something. Given it was in a university setting I feel you have a chance to do something. What would you have done @lakens @keesstorm

@DrVeronikaCH @wg_ellenbroek @keesstorm I don't know the details, but it sounds like an overheard conversation about something that happened elsewhere, not a live event. I think using that as inspiration to make a statement here is already very nice. Sometimes I might walk up to a student after the lecture - if I know them a bit better, or if the situations invites it (it can also be awkward so it really depends!).
