Harvard and Title IX: Survey results in hand, policy debate endures

CAMBRIDGE — Harvard University remains at the forefront of the debate over campus sexual assault, even as a panel of Harvard students and professors meets to consider additional changes to the University's disciplinary procedures under Title IX, the federal law that prohibits sex discrimination by educational institutions that receive federal funding.

The committee, convened earlier this month and chaired by former interim Dean of the College Donald H. Pfister, is charged with examining data from the campus climate survey released September 21. That survey, conducted by the Association of American Universities on behalf of Harvard and 27 other colleges, sought to assess the level of reported and unreported harassment and assault on campus.
