     ording to Dalhousie— 
     
    
   
   
    
     aw Professor Susan 
     
     Ashley. 
     
    

    
     _ At a meeting Thurs- 
     
     lay in the Atlantic Vet- 
     
     rinary College Lecture 
     
    

    
     heatre, Ashley told 
     
     vembers of the UPEI 
     
     Presidential Advisory 
     
    

    
     ommittee on Sexual 
     
     arassment, and other 
     
    
   
   
    
     tudents, that such an _ 
     
    
   
   
    
     sue was a major con- 
     
     ern to an academic 
     
     ommunity in which 
     
     tudents and _ faculty 
     
     re related by strong 
     
     bonds of intellectual in- 
     
     ependence and trust. 
     
    
   
   
    
     *Sexual harassment 
     
     s not an issue specific 
     
     o PEI, it is an issue 
     
     alked about by every- 
     
     ne,”- she said. “It is 
     
     he university’s respon- 
     
     ibility to educate itself 
     
     n mat- 
     
     ers related to potential 
     
     buses of power and to 
     
     ek means, both expe- 
     
     ient and just, to deal 
     
     vith cases of sexual ha- 
     
     assment.~ 
     
    

    
     Although the 
     
     ssue is discussed more 
     
     penly, Ashley pointed 
     
    
   
   
    
     ut that seople hesitate’ 
     
    
   
   
    
     ) complain about ha- 
     
     assment. 
     
    

    
     “Some students are 
     
     fraid that they will 
     
     sponsible or doubtful 
     
     lat any remedy will-be 
     
     bund,” she,said. 
     
    

    
     “Many are sickened 
     
     ) private and ashamed 
     
     h public at the spee-. 
     
     kcle that harassment 
     
     ithin educational in- 
     
     itutions is difficult to 
     
    
   
   
    
     etermine,” Ashley re-_ 
     
    
   
   
    
     ealed. ” Therefore, 
     
     remains difficult to 
     
    
   
   
    
     rther evidence about |

     said. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The Law Professor 
     
     indicated that institu- 
     
     tions of higher educa- 
     
     tion need to respond 
     
     in a firm and sensitive 
     
     way to the problem by 
     
     applying measure that 
     
     may stop sexual harass-

     Ashley pointed out 
     
     that providing this pro- 
     
     cedure not only en- 
     
     sures the fair treat-
