Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 1998. In 1984, Billie Dziech co-wrote The Lecherous Professor, one of the first books to articulate the problem of sexual harassment on college campuses. Since that time a number of books exploring the issues, cases, and laws have moved the topic into the public eye. This work, the brainchild of a lawyer and an academic, reflects on some of the more controversial and overlooked aspects of sexual harassment and its litigation and law. Chapters cover the legal and regulatory evolution of the issue and its context in higher education at the end of the 20th century; the importance of having colleges approach policy making and harassment by analyzing their own environment; an examination of the treatment of women experiencing harassment, with special focus on women who appear unscathed by it; the situation of the male on campus and the problem of non-meritorious cases; the most familiar myths of consensual relationships and the role of bans in dealing with them; and the contention that the sexual harassment issue has exposed higher education's excesses and contradictions.

Book excerpt: Recent social movements such as #MeToo have brought a renewed focus on the issues of sexual harassment and assault. No sector of society has gone untouched by the heightened scrutiny, including academia, which provides an opportunity to re-examine related policies at Institutions of Higher Education (IHE), such as faculty-student consensual sexual relationship policies (CSRPs). Using nationally representative data from the Campus Sexual Assault Policy Project (CSAPP) (n = 448), this research sought to identify (1) the prevalence of CSRPs, (2) the types of CSRPs, and (3) whether there was a relationship betwee CSRPs and/or CSRP type and IHE sector type: 4-year public, 4-year private non-profit, 2-year public, HBCUs, and Tribal institutions. Findings show that less than half of the IHEs (44.4%) have a CSRP in place. The most common type of CSRP is limited to bans (39.19%) which prohibit faculty-student CSRs only when the faculty has direct responsibility over the student, followed by "advisory" policies (26.13%) which simply discourage such relationships. A series of chi square tests indicated no significant relationships between IHE sector type and likelihood of faculty-student CSRP policy presence (x2 (8) = 10.65, p = .22) and/or between IHE sector type and type of CSRP in place (x2 (20) = 10.65, p = .76). Implications of these findings and potential future research opportunities are discussed.

Book excerpt: A prominent law dean is forced to resign over an alleged sexual affair with a student; a writing instructor details in a national magazine his steamy affair with his married student; a student stalks her male professor after he ends their sexual relationship and the criminal stalking charges against her are only dropped when she agrees to voluntarily leave the country. Increasingly, such tantalizing scandals are making their way into the nation's daily consciousness. Yet, behind all of these shocking tales of decadence lays the very real dilemma as to how college and university administrators should regulate consensual relationships between faculty members and students. Although numerous scholars have posited various approaches to these seemingly intractable matters of the heart, none of these commentators have adequately balanced the bewildering array of overlapping faculty, student, university, and third-party interests. Furthermore, current faculty-student consensual relationship policies are either underinclusive in not providing a sufficient institutional response to troubling faculty conduct or overinclusive in ignoring the very real privacy and associational interests that individuals have in forming private intimate associations away from the workplace. As someone who teaches labor and employment law and education law, and who comes from a labor and employment law practice background, I approach the regulation of faculty-student consensual relationships from a distinctive viewpoint. Rather than focusing on highly indeterminate, and politically charged, concepts such as consent and power as most scholars and postsecondary institutions do, my approach examines the more easily discernible impact or effect that consensual relationships have on the college and university environment. The premise underlying this approach is that a college or university may only legitimately regulate the private affairs of its employees if such private conduct spills over into the academic arena and adversely affects the college or university by damaging the school's reputation, by interfering with a professor's ability to properly perform his or her job, or by causing other faculty members and students not to want to work with the offending professor. While this approach to consensual relationships is new in the college and university context, the idea of regulating these relationships based upon their impact on the surrounding workplace environment is not. In fact, there already exists an extensive body of labor arbitration case law concerning the regulation of employee off-duty conduct. For over a half a century, labor arbitrators in the union context have applied the so-called nexus principle to determine whether an employer could properly discipline or discharge an employee for private conduct away from the workplace on the employee's own time. In such cases, arbitrators have consistently held that an employer has no business interfering with the private lives of its employees unless such conduct adversely affects an employer's business interests in some relevant manner. By applying this nexus principle to the college and university environment, a number of guideposts emerge as to how postsecondary institutions should treat faculty-student consensual relationships. First, a blanket rule either permitting or prohibiting all consensual faculty-student relationships is not appropriate, as the facts of individual cases will determine whether the private sexual conduct of the faculty member has a detrimental impact on the college or university. Second, although a general rule would appear not to be possible, useful presumptions can nevertheless be established. Where the faculty member is involved in a consensual relationship with a student with whom he or she is supervising or evaluating, the presumption is that a private relationship in these circumstances is likely to adversely affect the college or university environment in some fashion, unless the faculty member can establish that the relationship in question in fact caused no detrimental impact to the college or university. On the other hand, where no such supervisory or evaluative relationship exists, the opposite presumption applies unless the college or university can establish that specific facts exist suggesting that such private conduct is directly interfering with the academic setting. In a nutshell, the nexus test supports a sliding scale approach to consensual relationships between a faculty member and a student.

Download or read book Consensual Amorous Relationships between Faculty and Students written by Elisabeth A. Keller and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surveys of college students in the United States revealed that a significant number of students thought they had been victims of some form of sexual harassment. Growing awareness of the magnitude, dimensions, and effects of sexual harassment at educational institutions and the potential for institutional liability have prompted educators to adopt policies to avert such problems. The policies typically prohibit sexual harassment of employees and students and alert the university community to the serious effects of sexual harassment and the potential for student exploitation. Some universities have gone beyond establishing regulations directed at widely litigated problems of sexual harassment and have promulgated polices addressing the problematic issues surrounding consensual amorous relationships between faculty and students. However, such policies highlight the potential conflict between concerns for preventing victimization of students through sexual harassment and concerns for the individual's right to enter intimate relationships. This article contends that the constitutional right to privacy applies to consensual amorous relationships between faculty and students in public colleges and universities. Accordingly, such institutions must recognize this right when regulating faculty-student amorous relationships.

Download or read book Sexual Harassment on College Campuses written by Michele A. Paludi and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1996-03-01 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on her work as a private consultant, Michele A. Paludi recognized the need for an updated version of her book Ivory Power: Sexual Harassment on Campus. This need for a second edition was not only facilitated by updated case law, but also by the considerable work published since the first edition concerning training of personnel at colleges and universities and setting up policy statements and effective grievance procedures. Additional attention is devoted to 'consensual relationships' between faculty and students, a topic only touched upon lightly a few years ago. The events of the last few years at Antioch College and the University of Virginia that have stimulated discussion on peer sexual harassment also led to the need for a second edition of Ivory Power. For this edition Dr. Paludi invited the contributors ofIvory Power to update their chapters, focusing on new research, case law, and theory, and new contributors offer their perspectives on sexual harassment in the academic environment. New forewords have been added, most notable are those written by clergy--one a Methodist, one a Roman Catholic--who are dealing with victims of sexual harassment in their parish.

Download or read book Unwanted Advances written by Laura Kipnis and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2017-04-04 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Wall Street Journal Best Book of 2017 From a highly regarded feminist cultural critic and professor comes a polemic arguing that the stifling sense of sexual danger sweeping American campuses doesn’t empower women, it impedes the fight for gender equality. Feminism is broken, argues Laura Kipnis, if anyone thinks the sexual hysteria overtaking American campuses is a sign of gender progress. A committed feminist, Kipnis was surprised to find herself the object of a protest march by student activists at her university for writing an essay about sexual paranoia on campus. Next she was brought up on Title IX complaints for creating a "hostile environment." Defying confidentiality strictures, she wrote a whistleblowing essay about the ensuing seventy-two-day investigation, which propelled her to the center of national debates over free speech, "safe spaces," and the vast federal overreach of Title IX. In the process she uncovered an astonishing netherworld of accused professors and students, campus witch hunts, rigged investigations, and Title IX officers run amuck. Drawing on interviews and internal documents, Unwanted Advances demonstrates the chilling effect of this new sexual McCarthyism on intellectual freedom. Without minimizing the seriousness of campus assault, Kipnis argues for more honesty about the sexual realities and ambivalences hidden behind the notion of "rape culture." Instead, regulation is replacing education, and women’s hard-won right to be treated as consenting adults is being repealed by well-meaning bureaucrats. Unwanted Advances is a risk-taking, often darkly funny interrogation of feminist paternalism, the covert sexual conservatism of hook-up culture, and the institutionalized backlash of holding men alone responsible for mutually drunken sex. It’s not just compulsively readable, it will change the national conversation.

Download or read book Romance in the Ivory Tower written by Paul R. Abramson and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2011-02-25 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Should the choice to engage in a faculty-student romance be protected or precluded? An argument that the right to choose a romantic partner is a fundamental right of conscience, protected by the U.S Constitution. Allen Ginsberg once declared that “the best teaching is done in bed,” but most university administrators would presumably disagree. Many universities prohibit romantic relationships between faculty members and students, and professors who transgress are usually out of a job. In Romance in the Ivory Tower, Paul Abramson takes aim at university policies that forbid relationships between faculty members and students. He argues provocatively that the issue of faculty-student romances transcends the seemingly trivial matter of who sleeps with whom and engages our fundamental constitutional rights. By what authority, Abramson asks, did the university become the arbiter of romantic etiquette among consenting adults? Do we, as consenting adults, have a constitutional right to make intimate choices as long as they do not cause harm? Abramson contends that we do, and bases this claim on two arguments. He suggests that the Ninth Amendment (which states that the Constitution's enumeration of certain rights should not be construed to deny others) protects the “right to romance.” And, more provocatively, he argues that the “right to romance” is a fundamental right of conscience—as are freedom of speech and freedom of religion. Campus romances happen. The important question is not whether they should be encouraged or prohibited but whether the choice to engage in such a relationship should be protected or precluded. Abramson argues ringingly that our freedom to make choices—to worship, make a political speech, or fall in love—is fundamental. Rules forbidding faculty-student romances are not only unconstitutional but set dangerous precedents for further intrusion into rights of privacy and conscience.

Download or read book Sexual Contacts and Advances Between Psychology Educators and Students written by and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The APA Code of Ethics explicitly prohibits psychology educators and students from engaging in sexual relationships with each other. Such relationships can cause emotional and physical turmoil for the participants involved, the department, the university, and the entire field of psychology. The purpose of the current study was to add to the existing knowledge of sexual contacts and advances between psychology students and educators. In contrast to previous studies, the current study involved a survey of a random sample of current APA Student Affiliates (N = 1053) rather than sampling a population who had already completed their education. A useable response rate of 44% was achieved. The participants were asked to indicate their involvement in and impact of any sexual contact or advances with their psychology educators. Participants were also asked to indicate any knowledge of such contacts occurring in their department, provide information related to their beliefs about the ethicality of such contacts, and rate the adequacy of their training in addressing sexual misconduct. Among the significant findings was that almost 8.5% of the respondents indicated they experienced a sexual advance and 2% admitted they engaged in a sexual contact with a psychology educator. As with similar studies, women were more likely than men to be involved in a sexual contact or advance with a psychology educator. Interestingly, those students who engaged in a sexual contact or advance reported having significantly more ethics training than those respondents who did not engage in such behaviors. Although only a small number of respondents indicated they were personally involved in such behaviors, almost 25% of the respondents reported they had first-hand knowledge of a sexual contact or advance occurring within their department. Alarmingly, 53% of the respondents said they would not feel safe in pursuing any type of action even if they knew of such behaviors occurring. Finally, most respondents felt it was highly inappropriate for psychology educators and students to engage in a sexual contact during a working relationship. However, the percentages dropped significantly when the contacts occurred before or after the working relationship.

Download or read book Feminist Accused of Sexual Harassment written by Jane Gallop and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sexual harassment is an issue in which feminists are usually thought to be on the plaintiff's side. But in 1993--amid considerable attention from the national academic community--Jane Gallop, a prominent feminist professor of literature, was accused of sexual harassment by two of her women graduate students. In Feminist Accused of Sexual Harassment, Gallop tells the story of how and why she was charged with sexual harassment and what resulted from the accusations. Weaving together memoir and theoretical reflections, Gallop uses her dramatic personal experience to offer a vivid analysis of current trends in sexual harassment policy and to pose difficult questions regarding teaching and sex, feminism and knowledge. Comparing "still new" feminism--as she first encountered it in the early 1970s--with the more established academic discipline that women's studies has become, Gallop makes a case for the intertwining of learning and pleasure. Refusing to acquiesce to an imperative of silence that surrounds such issues, Gallop acknowledges--and describes--her experiences with the eroticism of learning and teaching. She argues that antiharassment activism has turned away from the feminism that created it and suggests that accusations of harassment are taking aim at the inherent sexuality of professional and pedagogic activity rather than indicting discrimination based on gender--that antiharassment has been transformed into a sensationalist campaign against sexuality itself. Feminist Accused of Sexual Harassment offers a direct and challenging perspective on the complex and charged issues surrounding the intersection of politics, sexuality, feminism, and power. Gallop's story and her characteristically bold way of telling it will be compelling reading for anyone interested in these issues and particularly to anyone interested in the ways they pertain to the university.
