Recommendations:
-Tell the person how you feel.
-Write down your reaction. Talk it over with a friend.
-Go to the Head of Department.

The Head of Department should react accordingly:

-quickly deal with the matter.
-confront those involved.
-be discreet.
-follow up.

If the situation persists then it is taken to a higher level at the university.
