Harvard Releases Drafts of First University-Wide Non-Discrimination, Anti-Bullying Policies
Harvard Crimson | Cara J. Chang and Isabella B. Cho
Fourteen months after working groups comprised of Harvard faculty, staff, graduate students, and undergraduates were tasked with reviewing Harvard’s policies governing discrimination and harassment complaints, they’ve come forth with recommendations for a “sweeping set of proposed changes.”
“The working groups proposed new University-wide policies defining non-discrimination and anti-bullying and laid out resolution procedures for the first time. They also recommended that Harvard update its definition of consent to require ‘active, mutual agreement’ in its Title IX and sexual misconduct policies.”
After a comment period ending in September, new policies will be sent to the Harvard Corporation for a vote.
