The University of Kansas' proposed sexual harassment policy moved a step closer to adoption when the U.S. Supreme Court Rights Committee reviewed it yesterday.
The Senate will seek student input and will compile a response on behalf of the students in the next two weeks, the committee's chairman said.
"Our job is to actively represent what the students think," Jim Cramer, committee chairman, said.
Cramer appointed a subcommittee to write the response to the policy, which will then be submitted to David Adkins, student body president.
Adkins said he would probably send

Shirley Harkess, associate professor of sociology and chairman of the ad hoc committee on sexual harassment, explained to the Rights Committee how the report defining sexual harassment and its results were put together.
The ad hoc committee sent an administrative draft to academic units and employee and student groups, Harkess said. The responses from those
organizations were compiled into a final report that was approved last fall by the Senate executive committee and University Council.
"The essence of the behavior which is prohibited is any behavior, including that by students, which represents repeated or unwanted sexual attention or sexual advances, when they are made conditions of reward or penalty for employment or academic performance," the report states.
Based upon the responses of student groups and the results of a survey of 480 students in November 1981, Hankess said, "Students at the University of Texas perceive a relatively wide range of behaviors as sexual harassment."

The committee also voted unanimously for a resolution stating that the KU Senate opposed President Reagan's proposed fiscal 1983 budget cuts in benefits and eligibility requirements under Guaranteed
Student Loans, Pell Grants, campus-based aid, state match grants, graduate fellowships, veteran's benefits, social security benefits and grants that provide financial assistance to students at institutions of higher education.
THE COMMITTEE recommended the resolution, drawn up by John Keightley, Nunemaker senator, to the Senate.
The rights committee also was to consider a resolution by David Zimmerman, special student, that stated the Senate would not consider the $3.50 campus privilege fee for the athletic department until the University had

Bren Abbott, student member of *U* University of Kansas Athletic Corporation board, had said last week he board asked the chancellor to allow Senate time to take a stand on the issue before he made his decision.
