...college campuses, particularly Harvard, help solve the problem? Increased awareness of sexual abuse and discrimination is needed, beyond the current bare minimum of enlightenment. It is the administration's duty to support peer counseling groups such as Response; publicize sexual harassment dangers to students and seriously punish and publicize offenders; condemn, not tolerate, sexual harassment of employees like Charlotte Walters, who recently sued Harvard; accord women professors the respect they deserve with fair hiring, tenure-granting, and job-distributing practices...

The apparent aim was not just to punish specific troublemakers but to terrorize the population into submission. Said Shamir: "Our task now is to re-create the barrier of fear between Palestinians and the Israeli military, and once again put the fear of death into the Arabs of the areas so as to deter them from attacking...
