121 Students Disclosed Potential Sexual Harassment to College's Title IX Coordinators Last Year
Harvard saw a significant rise in disclosures of potential sexual harassment, with 121 incidents last academic year, a nearly four-fold increase since 2013-2014, a majority coming from College students. Yet, only five undergraduates filed formal complaints. Since its inception in September 2014, the Office of Sexual and Gender-Based Dispute Resolution has received 53 formal complaints. The annual report, the first of its kind, aims to increase awareness of Title IX policies, responding to a survey finding that 71% of respondents were not well informed. Cases typically involved parties who had a prior relationship, with a predominant occurrence of a female complainant and a male respondent.| Creator |
