Much attention has been paid to the sexual misconduct of students, but schools also struggle with the
application of Title IX, Clery and VAWA to faculty members’ behavior. Issues of power, authority and
grades can dominate the relationship dynamics and create a hostile environment. The intersection of
tenure, employment policies, university policy and law shapes an institution’s response.

issue of faculty sexual harassment and assault.
