The subject of peer harassment for women on college campuses is explored. In order to handle such situations effectively, administrators need to know the parameters of the problem, what they are dealing with, and ways to prevent bad situations. The topic is presented as follows: a definition of peer harassment; the prevalence of peer harassment; the impact of peer harassment; examples of peer harassment (group harassment, sexual harassment, academic harassment, joking, and pestering and street harassment); women colluding; harassment against special groups of women; cross-cultural differences; causes of peer harassment (the role of alcohol and drugs, and the role of pornography and violence in the media); legal considerations; and the role of institutions. Recommendations include educating the campus community, developing policies and programs, implementing procedures, and providing special help for women who are harassed. Special information is provided on how to empower women, an institutional self-evaluation checklist, and a word to students (do's and don'ts). Contains 45 end notes and 6 references. (SM)
