Abstract
Three years ago, a vocal group of students at my college created an ad hoc committee of students, faculty, and staff to review our sexual harassment policy. Working with complaints from different constituencies and reviewing relevant laws and policies at peer institutions, we eventually fine-tuned the policy. This report shares observations about an emphasis on informal resolution we found at our own and peer institutions, offers background information about sexual harassment and informal resolution in general, and gives suggestions to other small colleges who may want to take a second look at their sexual harassment policies. While informal resolution should remain an option, it should not be an obstacle to fairness. It is important that sexual harassment policies make it clear that sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination and, as such, constitutes a violation of civil rights.
