A Systematic Look at a Serial Problem: Sexual Harassment of Students by University Faculty

handle is hein.journals/utahlr2018 and id is 697 raw text is: A SYSTEMATIC LOOK AT A SERIAL PROBLEM: SEXUAL HARASSMENT OF STUDENTS BY UNIVERSITY FACULTY Nancy Chi Cantalupo and William C. Kidder Abstract One in ten female graduate students at major research universities report being sexually harassed by a faculty member. Many universities face intense media scrutiny regarding faculty sexual harassment, and whether women are being harassed out of academic careers in scientific disciplines is currently a subject of significant public debate. However, to date, scholarship in this area is significantly constrained. Surveys cannot entirely mesh with the legal/policy definition of sexual harassment. Policymakers want to know about serial (repeat) sexual harassers, where answers provided by student surveys are least satisfactory. Strict confidentiality restrictions block most campus sexual harassment cases from public view. Taking advantage of recent advances in data availability, this Article represents the most comprehensive effort to inventory and analyze actual faculty sexual harassment cases. This review includes over 300 cases obtainedfrom: (1) media reports; (2) federal civil rights investigations by *© 2018 Nancy Chi Cantalupo. Assistant Professor of Law, Barry University Dwayne 0. Andreas School of Law; B.S.F.S., Georgetown University; J.D., Georgetown University Law Center. We are grateful to the following scholars for their reviews of various drafts of this article: Ian Ayres, Deborah Brake, Naomi Cahn, Gabriel Jack Chin, Richard Delgado, Phyllis Goldfarb, Rachel Moran, David Oppenheimer, Marjorie Shultz, Carol Stabile, and Merle Weiner. We greatly appreciate Professor Julie Libarkin's work on her database of sexual harassment cases in academia and for graciously corresponding with us about the media cases we included in Section ll of this article.

Finally, we thank Robin West and Margaret Woo for their advice and feedback on a shorter essay in which we presented a preliminary exploration of a subset of the themes addressed in this article.

For purposes of full disclosure, as a UC Riverside administrator, I was involved in a number of faculty discipline cases over the years, including cases ultimately resulting in termination, and for reasons of privacy and decorum I do not discuss those cases in this Article.
