This book was released on 2018-09-01 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last few decades, research, activity, and funding has been devoted to improving the recruitment, retention, and advancement of women in the fields of science, engineering, and medicine. In recent years the diversity of those participating in these fields, particularly the participation of women, has improved and there are significantly more women entering careers and studying science, engineering, and medicine than ever before. However, as women increasingly enter these fields they face biases and barriers and it is not surprising that sexual harassment is one of these barriers. Over thirty years the incidence of sexual harassment in different industries has held steady, yet now more women are in the workforce and in academia, and in the fields of science, engineering, and medicine (as students and faculty) and so more women are experiencing sexual harassment as they work and learn. Over the last several years, revelations of the sexual harassment experienced by women in the workplace and in academic settings have raised urgent questions about the specific impact of this discriminatory behavior on women and the extent to which it is limiting their careers. Sexual Harassment of Women explores the influence of sexual harassment in academia on the career advancement of women in the scientific, technical, and medical workforce. This report reviews the research on the extent to which women in the fields of science, engineering, and medicine are victimized by sexual harassment and examines the existing information on the extent to which sexual harassment in academia negatively impacts the recruitment, retention, and advancement of women pursuing scientific, engineering, technical, and medical careers. It also identifies and analyzes the policies, strategies and practices that have been the most successful in preventing and addressing sexual harassment in these settings.

Book excerpt: In recent years, increased allegations of sexual misconduct have been reported on college campuses. In response, college administrators have put great effort into creating sexual misconduct programs designed to educate their students. Emphasis has been placed on establishing programs geared toward sexual assault awareness; preventing the vulnerabilities associated with sexual assaults on campus; and equipping students with the tools needed to safely intervene should they witness dating and sexual violence (Reingold & Gostin, 2015; Storer, Casey & Herrenkohl, 2016). Despite an across-the-board good-faith effort to safeguard and protect students, campus sexual assaults remain at an alarming high level (Storer et al., 2016). Generally speaking, too many of us associate sexual misconduct with four-year, residential colleges with intercollegiate athletic programs and fraternities and sororities not community colleges. Community colleges, however, are not immune to sexual assault, sexual harassment, stalking, domestic violence or intimate partner violence. As such, it is important for higher education administrators to adopt effective programs. Unfortunately, there is a gap in the literature regarding the specific sexual misconduct education programs offered at community colleges and the efficacy of the programming. This interpretivist case study examined the sexual misconduct educational programs currently in place at community colleges, the effectiveness of different program delivery platforms and the perceptions of students and Title IX administrators/responsible employees regarding the efficacy of sexual misconduct educational programming offered at community colleges. The study consisted of anonymous online student and administrative/responsible employee questionnaires, a focus group and discussion sessions with 7 students and 6 administrative one-on-one interviews at a suburban community college in the Northeast Region of the United States. Each of the two sets of questionnaires contained 20 semi-structured questions. Sixty-one students and 27 administrators/responsible employees completed the questionnaires. Triangulation was utilized to evaluate the trustworthiness of the various sources of data. Through data analysis, the researcher identified the following themes and sub-themes among the student participants: general program awareness, program specifics, i.e., shorter more frequent programs, shorter program sessions use of real-world video simulations/scenarios, interactive programming and peer-to-peer small group discussions, mandatory program attendance and perceptions of program efficacy. The students, for the most part, had a general awareness of the existence of sexual misconduct programming at their community college, but did not have a specific understanding of which programs, outside of the one they attended, were offered by their college or who on campus was responsible for providing sexual misconduct programming. Students thought sexual misconduct programming should be mandatory for all students and that program frequency and duration, interactive activities, peer-to-peer small group discussions and simulated real-world videos are instrumental in determining the effectiveness of program delivery platforms. The themes that surfaced once the researcher evaluated the administrator/responsible employee data were like the student themes: general program awareness, program specifics, i.e., shorter more frequent programs, shorter program sessions use of real-world video simulations/scenarios, interactive programming and peer-to-peer small group discussions, mandatory program attendance and perceptions of program efficacy. The administrators/responsible employees had an awareness of the sexual misconduct programming at their community college as well as the administrative personnel responsible for setting up the sexual misconduct educational programs. There was an overall belief that sexual misconduct programming should be mandatory for all students and that the program's duration impacts the effectiveness of the delivery. The administrators/responsible employees also opined that the most effective sexual misconduct delivery tools were interactive programming, simulated videos and/or peer-to-peer small group discussions. This case study was significant in that it identifies best practices for the community college Title IX administrators who are looking to adopt effective sexual misconduct education programming. Recommendations from the study included: (1) mandating incoming students attend sexual misconduct education programs at orientation and twice during each semester of their first year at a community college; (2) adopting monthly 30 minute interactive small group workshops to students; (3) incorporating real-world video simulations/scenarios and peer-to-peer discussion sessions in all sexual misconduct programming; and (4) offering sexual misconduct programming at times when classes are not offered.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1998, Sexual Harassment in Higher Education addresses the problem of sexual harassment on college campuses. This work reflects on a variety of aspects of sexual harassment, its litigation and law, as well as how the issues they demonstrate often have as much to do with linguistics or jurisprudence as with negative action, though there is a great deal of evidence of the latter. The book provides a clear-eyed and detailed assessment of the 'harassment' controversies now plaguing America's universities and colleges.

Thoughtful discussion questions emphasize critical thinking skills, as well as encourage students to open a dialogue with both their professors and their peers. This text will help readers understand the concept of gender as a social construct in contrast to the concept of sex, which denotes biological differences. Upon completing this text, readers will have a deeper understanding of women and the knowledge that "woman" is a diverse and multifaceted category.

Download or read book Academic and Workplace Sexual Harassment written by Michele A. Paludi and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1991-11-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book represents the first comprehensive resource manual for understanding and preventing sexual harassment in the academic community and in the workplace. Studies indicate that sexual harassment is at epidemic proportions in the academy and in the workplace: from 30%–70% of women in U.S. colleges and universities experience some form of sexual harassment (including sexual assaults) each year; a University of Massachusetts study reports 13% of undergraduate women were raped by acquaintances; and 50% of women in the workplace report serious sexual harassment from supervisors and fellow employees. This manual provides the results of research and of practical, effective experience in reducing the occurrence of sexual harassment, investigating complaints, and providing counseling and remedies for the victims. In addition, the authors have compiled bibliographies, audio-visual material, and pedagogical techniques for dealing with sexual harassment in the academy and in the workplace, as well as information and workshop techniques to facilitate training programs.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Despite widespread use of compulsory online prevention training, sexual harassment continues to occur at high rates. Most universities use online sexual harassment prevention (SHP) programs to meet state compliance requirements, but there is little research evaluating their effectiveness. The purpose of the current quantitative study was to investigate the impact of SHP as well as to explore differences in knowledge about sexual harassment, attitudes about sexual harassment myths, willingness to engage in bystander behaviors, and perceptions of organizational climate for sexual harassment among groups. Faculty, staff, and administrators from three campuses in the California State University system (N = 1,699) completed a 77-item survey, reporting that they had participated in the compulsory online SHP training an average of 4.59 times. Overall, mean scores for knowledge, attitudes, bystander behaviors, and perceptions of climate scales were high, but non-managerial staff, men, and heterosexual participants scored significantly lower than managers/faculty, women, and lesbian/gay/bisexual/queer participants on most scales. Multiple regression models showed that perceptions of climate, training, and characteristics significantly predicted outcomes; however, these models explained a small proportion of the variance in the outcomes. Recency and frequency of participation in SHP were nonsignificant predictors, but the perception of climate was significantly predictive of knowledge and bystander behaviors. Implications of the study include developing campus-wide interventions focused on climate and ensuring that SHP training addresses identity-specific and culturally relevant topics. Additionally, given the finding that repeated, compulsory online training is unlikely to have a meaningful ongoing impact on knowledge, attitudes, or bystander behaviors, recommendations for future practice include adapting in-person SHP training to build on what is already taught in online training and including topics specific to the campus or identity group included in the training. Future research should use different research designs and investigate the impact of SHP training length, content, and modality to determine best practices for SHP.
