In Court, Harvard Attempts to Dismiss Sexual Harassment Case
Harvard lawyers sought to dismiss a lawsuit filed by Alyssa R. Leader ’15, alleging mishandling of her sexual harassment claims by the University. Harvard argued that their response did not violate Title IX, as they provided sufficient support and remedial options, such as relocating Leader and issuing a no-contact letter. Leader's attorney contended that Harvard showed "deliberate indifference" during its investigation, failing to adequately address her claims and not removing her alleged assailant from her dorm until after she obtained a restraining order.| Creator |
