Summary
In this symposium, we will explore how various groups of people (including stakeholders, men, survivors, interns, staff, students, administrators) can more fully claim their power to end sexual harassment and violence on college campuses. This discussion is timely given the rise of several social movements and hashtags (e.g., #MeToo, TimesUp) in recent years as well as Department of Education policy changes and imminent revisions to Title IX. In the first paper, the authors explore the knowledge base of stakeholder's understanding of Title IX (including available resources) and perceptions of the efficacy of university responses to reports of sexual violence. The second paper showcases ways in which feminists can harness the power of men in ending sexual harassment and violence. The final paper explores an innovative program aimed at training college student interns about sexual harassment in the workplace.
