Sources for University Sex Harassment Policy

You ask for sources for a University policy onSex Harassment. Get out of the Law Library andinto the Streets, with:

Mary Wolstonecraft: " A Dissertation on theRights of Women "

Rabbi Hillel: " That which is hateful to youdo not do to any other...."

Preamble, Declaration of Independence, (US)substituting ('people" for "men")

Eva Figues, " Patriarchal Attitudes " (paperback, may be out of print)

Robin Morgan, ed., anthology "Sisterhood isPowerful"

Peter Fisher, " The Gay Mystique "

Kate Bornstein, " Transgender Warriors "

These would be a good start. And Title VII,

Civil Rights Act of 1964 as amended, and the

EEOC regs set forth in the CFR would not be

a bad addition.

The above preliminary discussion is not intendedas legal advice. You are notified that we only givesuch advice in areas of law that we are fullyqualified in by virtue of training and experience;that we are licensed ONLY in New York and Maine, and the Federal court system.. There is no substitute for sitting down face to face with anattorney, to protect your rights under law, and to determine your obligations. We are your attorneys only if you have entered into a written retainer agreement with the firm of Coles & Weiner, P.C. We reserve the right to reject any potential clientfor any reason.
