Comaroff Controversy Reignites Union Calls for Sexual Misconduct Recourse
Harvard faculty gathered at a teach-in organized by the Feminist Working Group of the Harvard Graduate Students Union-United Automobile Workers (HGSU-UAW) to discuss the union's calls for changes in the university’s sexual harassment reporting process. The union advocates for third-party arbitration for discrimination and sexual harassment complaints, claiming current procedures are inadequate for justice for survivors. The event, co-led by HGSU-UAW president Koby D. Ljunggren and other legal experts, comes in the wake of a lawsuit regarding Harvard professor John L. Comaroff's alleged misconduct. With their contract ratified, the union is now focusing on broader reforms, including transparency and independence in the Title IX process, and hopes to build a campus-wide coalition to support these changes.| Creator |
