Four Cases of Peer Harassment Prompt Div School Security Increase, orries

After four incidents of peer sexual harassment at Harvard's Divinity School this month, students and administrators are enhancing security measures and raising student awareness. The incidents, described as voyeuristic, prompted the administration to increase police patrols and assign a new guard to Andover Hall, where two of the incidents occurred. Victims described non-violent but offensive encounters, including an instance where a man crawled under a woman's skirt and another where a man stuck his head under a bathroom stall. Students have responded by organizing meetings, distributing leaflets, and considering a student-run escort service to enhance safety.
