RUS Says College Errs In Harassment Procedure
The Radcliffe Union of Students (RUS) issued a statement criticizing Harvard University's handling of sexual harassment cases, specifically targeting a memorandum by Marlyn M. Lewis, assistant dean of the College. RUS argues that the memo overemphasizes protecting the accused professors while neglecting the concerns of the student victims. They call for a three-member panel to mediate harassment complaints, involving representatives from the university, the accused, and the victim. Current procedures, which do not inform the victim of the actions taken against the harasser, are seen as overly protective of the faculty member's privacy and insufficiently supportive of the victims.Files
