Implementing Yale's Sexual Misconduct Policy: The Process of Institutional Change
Bagley, Constance E.; Natarajan, Priyamvada; Vayzman, Liena; Wexler, Laura; McCarthy, Shirley
Change: The Magazine of Higher Learning, v44 n2 p7-15 2012
Sexual assault and other forms of sexual misconduct are all too common on university campuses. The US Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights reports that 19 percent of female and 6.1 percent of male college students reported being victims of completed or attempted sexual assaults since entering college. The degree to which Penn State's reputation was tarnished by allegations that university officials may have covered up allegations of horrific sexual misconduct shows clearly the high stakes involved, not only (and especially) for the victims but also for institutions. In this article, the authors describe the new Yale University policies and new procedures. They pay particular attention to those changes necessitated by the guidelines issued by the Department of Education's OCR in its "Dear Colleague" Letter of April 4, 2011 (DOE OCR, 2011, http://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/letters/colleague-201104.pdf). This letter supplemented the OCR's Revised Sexual Harassment Guidance of 2001 (DOE OCR, 2001). (Contains 17 resources and 4 online resources.)
