An updated and expanded revision of the first edition, which received the Gustavus Myers Center Award for an outstanding book on Human Rights in the United States. Intended for administrators and faculty, it is also a resource book for individuals wanting to make changes in their campus' policy and procedures with regard to sexual harassment.
Based on her work as a private consultant, Michele A. Paludi recognized the need for an updated version of her book Ivory Power: Sexual Harassment on Campus. This need for a second edition was not only facilitated by updated case law, but also by the considerable work published since the first edition concerning training of personnel at colleges and universities and setting up policy statements and effective grievance procedures. Additional attention is devoted to 'consensual relationships' between faculty and students, a topic only touched upon lightly a few years ago. The events of the last few years at Antioch College and the University of Virginia that have stimulated discussion on peer sexual harassment also led to the need for a second edition of Ivory Power.
For this edition Dr. Paludi invited the contributors ofIvory Power to update their chapters, focusing on new research, case law, and theory, and new contributors offer their perspectives on sexual harassment in the academic environment. New forewords have been added, most notable are those written by clergy—one a Methodist, one a Roman Catholic—who are dealing with victims of sexual harassment in their parish.
"Sexual harassment is an important issue which we can, and hopefully will, deal with successfully as a maturing society. Works such as Michele Paludi's Sexual Harassment on College Campuses make a significant contribution to the understanding of the problem and the possible avenues of resolution. Without the willingness of people such as Dr. Paludi to concentrate their focus and effort on the methodology and systems necessary to resolve specific sexual harassment instances, the collective understanding and resolution of the problem will continue to evade us." — From the Foreword by Stephen Arlington, Practicing Attorney
"The mistreatment of women in our society is, thankfully, 'a cause whose time has come.' Thanks to people like Michele Paludi, we are becoming informed and beginning to take long-needed remedial action!" — From the Foreword by Reverend Richard Campbell, United Methodist Church
"Understanding the phenomenon and how it operates is the first, vital step in solving the sexual harassment problem in academia. Putting together policies and procedures for rooting it out is the second. Written by those who are well respected in academia, this book is part of a much-needed effort from within the institutions of learning to get those steps taken. As Sexual Harassment on College Campuses makes abundantly clear, the problem belongs to us all. The solution, as is also very clear, will come only with a universal commitment to stop the abuse of power and trust in our own learning community. No one can sit back and claim that the responsibility belongs to another. It belongs to everyone who claims a role in the academic world." — From the Foreword by Anne Levy, Michigan State University
