Faculty Begins Discussing Sex Harassment Question
The Harvard Faculty Council began discussing the university's sexual harassment policy for the first time since a prominent incident last spring involving visiting professor, Derek Walcott. The meeting centered around a six-page memorandum by Assistant Dean Marlyn M. Lewis and excerpts from a report by the Harvard-Radcliffe Committee, which supports current policies but calls for increased publicity and evidence of actions against offenders. The Council's discussion was extensive but inconclusive, with plans to continue deliberations in future meetings. Topics included whether to provide less information to student victims to prevent leaks to the press and concerns about the impact of publicity on professors' careers and student-faculty interactions.| Creator |
