Along with many others in the Harvard community, we in the Harvard Office of Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Student Alliance and the Harvard Men Against Rape seek to foster a culture of sexual respect and safety at Harvard. For such a culture to flourish, regard for the privacy and emotions of sexual assault victims is essential.
