      Since
      readers
      of
      the
      X-Press
      are
      likely
      to
      be
     
     
      nfamiliar
      with
      our
      research,
      we
      wanted
      to
      take
      this
     
     
      pportunity
      to
      offer
      some
      clarification
      of
      our
      study.
     
     
      Vhat
      we
      did
      was
      to
      present
      a
      wide
      range
      of
      incidents
     
     
      iat
      could
      be
      regarded
      as
      sexual
      harassment
      and
      ask
     
     
      ftudents
      whether
      they
      had
      such
      an
      experience
      while
      at
     
     
      |PEI
      with
      faculty,
      with
      staff,
      or
      with
      students.
      The
     
     
      jajority
      of
      student
      experiences
      were
      at
      the
      ‘‘mild’’
     
     
      nd
      of
      the
      continuum
      and
      occurred
      with
      other
      stu-
     
     
      ents,
      but
      a
      number
      of
      students
      reported
      unwanted
     
     
      issing
      and
      fondling
      from
      other
      students,
      and
      7%
     
     
      kperienced
      some
      form
      or
      coercion
      to
      participate
      in
     
     
      *x;
      4%
      of
      the
      women
      participated
      in
      sex
      asa
      result
     
     
      fsucha
      threat.
      This
      last
      situation
      suggests
      the
     
     
      fistence
      of
      acquaintance
      rape
      on
      campus.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Students
      also
      reported
      direct
      experienced
      with
      faculty
     
     
      that
      they
      regarded
      as
      unwanted.
      Forexample,
      9%
     
     
      reported
      being
      touched
      by
      a
      faculty
      member
      in
      an
     
     
      unwanted
      way,
      and
      17%
      indicated
      unwanted
      sexual
     
     
      teasing,
      joked,
      comments
      and
      questions
      from
      faculty.
     
     
      We
      also
      inquired
      about
      experiences
      students
      had
      in
     
     
      class
      that
      could
      affect
      the
      climate
      of
      their
      learning
     
     
      environment.
      Many
      women
      reported
      that
      faculty
     
     
      make
      jokes
      and
      remarks
      that
      put
      down
      women
      (63%),
     
     
      men
      (33%)
      and
      homosexuals
      (32%).
      Men
      reported
     
     
      these
      experiences
      almost
      as
      frequently
      as
      women.
     
     
      Our
      aim
      was
      to
      examine
      a
      broad
      spectrum
      of
      incidents
     
     
      that
      might
      be
      defined
      as
      sexual
      harassment,
      some
      of
     
     
      which
      are
      listed
      above.
      It
      should
      be
      noted
      that
      we
     
    
   
   
    
     
      asked
      our
      respondents
      to
      define
      whether
      or
      not
      inci-
     
     
      dents
      were
      regarded
      as
      harassment
      by
      a
      majority
      of
     
    
   
   
    
     
      ourrespondents.
      Asa
      group,
      they
      regarded
      most
      of
     
     
      these
      incidents
      as
      quite
      serious.
      On
      the
      average,
     
     
      students
      has
      experienced
      6
      of
      these
      incidents,
      some
      of
     
     
      them
      repeatedly.
      You
      mightalso
      be
      interested
      in
     
     
      knowing
      that
      students’
      attitudes
      toward
      traditional/
     
     
      non-traditional
      sex
      roles
      were
      unrelated
      to
      both
      their
     
     
      reported
      experiences
      and
      definitions
      of
      sexual
      harass-
     
     
      ment.
