Studies show that no segment of the college community is immune from sexual harassment.
Most of the studies documenting sexual harassment of college students by faculty or staff indicate that between 20-30 percent of undergraduate women have experienced sexually harassing behavior such as leering or ogling, sexual innuendoes, joking, unwanted touching, or direct or indirect threats or bribes for unwanted sexual activity. Using the lower figure of 20 percent would mean that more than 1.4 million students experience harassment. With increasing attention paid to hostile environment harassment, some studies are showing even higher figures. As you can see, sexual harassment is a serious matter for all college campuses. Hopefully, the schedule has been established to accommodate each of you with five classes on different days and hours.
