No.
We've had discussions as an entire team, on making sure your actions, and words are respectful of others. If you don't know if they like hugging or not, don't hug. We kind of talked a lot more about words but I think our discussion applied equally. This was initiated by me.
I've had smaller group discussions and even one-on-ones regarding that which was generally student initiated, or if I knew about an issue.
