Mansfield also criticized Harvard's guidelines for not considering the issue of false accusations, and the "Tell Someone" sexual harassment leaflet for making "no mention of an accuser of inferior status bringing down a person of superior status." This is a very real concern and something which should be incorporated into Harvard's guidelines. Accusations of harassment which hold the potential to be publicly and personally damaging to the accused should be subject to a threshold of evidence or just cause before being allowed to issue. On this aspect of the guidelines, we urge the University to take measures...

Lastly, Mansfield contended that the "Tell Someone" leaflet is a violation of academic freedom because it provides an absolute definition of sexism. While this may be true, the leaflet itself does not purport to serve as any type of authoritative statement, and certainly does nothing to prohibit professors from seeking their own definitions in the classrooms. In the interest of practicality, some definition must be given without a lengthy philosophical discourse to justify...

...want to begin by saying that I'm so glad I finally picked up a copy of this leaflet. I didn't even realize it, but I've been sexually harassed--twice. Before I got my mint green copy of "Tell Someone," I didn't know that mere invitations to dine with a professor--delivered without any physical action, veiled threat or crude innuendo--could constitute harassment...

Thanks to "Tell Someone," I'm now in touch with all of my pent-up anger and pain. Now I know that I was a victim. So I've decided to come forward and share my experience with the Crimson's readers. In the words of the leaflet, I've made the brave decision to "TELL SOMEONE!" (I owe the melodramatic capitalization and punctuation to the leaflet.) Now back in my unenlightened days, I was naive enough to think that the two professors who invited me to lunch were simply showing a genuine concern for students that...

...brochure is not only stupid; it's dangerous. Of course we need mechanisms for dealing with sexual harassment charges. But the leaflet, in its excessive fear of intimidating "victims" into silence, doesn't discourage frivolous or irrational complaints. As Mansfield pointed out, the booklet as currently written constitutes "a veritable incitement to make a mountain out of a mole-hill." While only the most desperate or evil students would take advantage of this fact (along with students who have watched Oleanna too much), the brochure offers those who feel they've been treated unfairly a way of getting back...
