Students who depend on a faculty member for employment or research support may find that support contingent on sexual favors.
By PENNI CRABTREE Staff Reporter
Sexual harassment crux of ethics code
Sexual harassment can take subtle or not-so-suble forms, from suggestive comments to physical aggressiveness. But no matter what form it takes, one quality member said, sexual harassment is an abuse of faculty power.
"When a faculty member implies that sexual cooperation is a condition for academic advancement," Rita Napier, associate professor of history, said, "a very important and very delicate mentor-student relationship, based on trust and the just use of power, is destroyed."
ONE MEMBER of the Affirmative Action advisory board, Barbara Ballard, the director of the Emily Taylor Resource Center, said that a sexual harassment code was much needed at the University.
waiting to hear from the administration."
at the University over this issue," Ballard said. "It's the kind of thing we talked about much but still exists.
Napier and other faculty members are working to implement a University of Chicago Engineering program.
UNDER PRESENT University policy, Napier said, the student has little recourse against sexual harassment. The only guideline the university provides is that the Civil Rights Act, a code that applies only to employees of the University.
would set down procedures for dealing with cases of sexual harassment.
"I've known women who will just stick it out and tolerate it, and then I've known some who quit good jobs because of it."
"We'll submit the idea of a University code of ethics to several campus groups," said Napier, who became involved in the issue when a graduate student came to her after being sexually harassed.
Segual harassment is also an area of concern for University administrators, Michael Edwards, director of Affirmative Action, said.
"We'd like to devise both a code and a set of procedures to enforce the code that will protect both the student and the faculty member who might be wrongly accused by a student," she said.
NAPIER SAID THAT the proposed code would deal with the issue of abuse of power in other areas as well.
said. "We also hope to cover areas like student research for faculty, making sure that a faculty member doesn't claim authorship of a student's work. But sexual harassment is an issue of great concern to us."
"Sexual harassment isn't the only thing we're concerned with." Napier
"Under Title VII, we can deal with sexual harassment complaints made by employees of the University." Edwards said. "When you get into the area of students being harrassed, what we can do get a lot fuzzier."
To clear up some of the fuziness, Edwards said, the Affirmative Action board has submitted a policy recommendation to the vice chancellors.
"We've gotten a lot of input from several sectors of the University, addressing the problem of student-faculty sexual harassment," Edwards said. "We recommended that some kind of code policy be formed, but we're still
Said Napier, "It's like rape. It's a serious issue that often goes unreported, so we don't know how many incidents of it there are. But I hardly knew a man who hasn't experienced some form of sexual harassment."
