Identifying Gaps in Sexual Harassment Remediation Efforts in Higher Education: Issue Paper (2025)
Chapter: Appendix F: Action Collaborative on Preventing Sexual Harassment in Higher Education
Appendix F
Action Collaborative on Preventing Sexual Harassment in Higher Education
The Action Collaborative on Preventing Sexual Harassment in Higher Education brings together academic and research institutions and key stakeholders to work toward targeted, collective action on addressing and preventing sexual harassment across all disciplines and among all people in higher education. The members actively collaborate to identify, research, develop, and implement efforts that move beyond basic legal compliance to evidence-based policies and practices for addressing and preventing all forms of sexual harassment and promoting a campus climate of civility and respect.
The Action Collaborative includes four Working Groups (Prevention, Response, Remediation, and Evaluation) that compile and gather information and publish resources for the higher education community. Those resources include issue papers authored by individuals who are members of one of the working groups. An issue paper explores a specific topic or practice related to sexual harassment in order to:
- Serve as a research-based resource for higher education administrators; practitioners; and faculty, staff, and student leaders as they consider policies, practices, and approaches related to sexual harassment prevention, response, remediation, and/or evaluation; and
- Inform them of the potential value of implementing new approaches for addressing sexual harassment.
