THE RICE THRESHER FRIDAY, MARCH 17. 1989 3
Stebbings
addresses
harassment
To the editors:
Harassment is a serious and growing na-
tional problem. It takes many forms and occurs
in various settings but it typically involves the
intimidation and/or ridicule of certain seg-
ments of our society, usually women and
members of various minority, ethnic, and reli-
gious groups.
It is profoundly disturbing to realize that
such incidents have occurred on the Rice
campus.
I wish to state emphatically that behavior of
this type is totally unacceptable and will not be
tolerated. We will respond firmly to future acts
of this kind using both formal and informal
procedures according to the wishes of the
complainant.
I encourage anyone who observes, or is a
victim of, such behavior to bring it immediately
to my attention or to the attention of a College
Master or co-Master or indeed to any member
of the Rice community with whom the individ-
ual feels comfortable.
I would like all Rice students to be aware
that a sexual harassment policy is in force and
is described in the current student handbook.
The Office of Minority Affairs is developing
an analogous policy relating to racial harass-
ment. Furthermore, an ad hoc committee is
currently preparing recommendations and
procedures to address the issue of Campus
rape.
In the near future a committee will be
charged with developing a non-academic code
of student conduct
Pending the publication of such a code this
letter should be taken as indicative of the Uni-
versity's resolve to address these issues di-
rectly and forcefully.
I encourage all members of the Rice com-
munity to use their influence and authority to
eradicate all forms of harassment from this
Campus.
