Sexual Harassment Information Sessions
UW-Madison has embarked on a comprehensive effort to make sexual harassment a university community concern. This effort, backed by vigorous public endorsement by the administration, has involved refining and renewing an array of campus resources, designing and publishing informational materials, and offering informational sessions to all employees. Sexual harassment contact persons have been identified and trained in every school, college, and division. A cross-campus team of facilitators has presented informational sessions to deans, administrative teams, academic departments, and support units. These sessions use an inclusive, non-confrontational tone and, to personalize the experience, a case study approach. The Equity and Diversity Resource Center's (EDRC) Sexual Harassment Information and Resources website and brochure, "Sexual Harassment: Defining and Addressing a Community Concern," present key principles, policies, and resources.
