About

The Action Collaborative on Preventing Sexual Harassment in Higher Education is holding a virtual issue paper release event on Identifying Gaps in Sexual Harassment Remediation Efforts in Higher Education.

This paper reviews and synthesizes the existing research on harms that (1) survivors, (2) accused individuals, and (3) community members may experience before, during, and after sexual harassment is disclosed to the institution; describes more than 50 current institutional efforts to repair those harms; and identifies gaps in sexual harassment remediation efforts that can benefit from further resources and innovative practices.

This issue paper will help higher education administrators; practitioners; and faculty, staff, and student leaders reflect on the current resources, policies, and programs that their institution has in place to repair harms stemming from sexual harassment and identify areas needing further support. Issue Papers describe the status of and key elements shaping an issue, examine and summarize the research or evidence base, examine existing practices on a key issue, and/or provide technical assessments of strategies or priorities. They do not provide consensus findings, conclusions, or recommendations.

Presenters:

Terri Frasca, National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Isabel Alvarado, University of California Office of the President
Phil Bühlmann, University of Minnesota
Liz Hutchison, University of New Mexico
