The following program initiatives would help to rectify the problem of sexual harassment on campus. It applies to both dents and workers, and can be amended to apply more specifically to one group or the other. We suggest:

1. an education campaign which includes worksite and campus meetings, the use of the media, publications, pamphlets and circular;
   
   
2. a committee to represent women's issues and provide liaison with interested groups and individuals;
   
   
3. a specialized grievance and complaint procedure for victims of sexual harassment;
   
   
4. trained counselling services, and referral services (lawyers, therapists, etc.);
   
   
5. a collective agreement which includes a sexual harassment clause, definition, policy statement and specialized grievance procedure;
   
   
6. the development and circulation of a questionnaire for women on campus, and the subsequent preparation of a report based on findings from the questionnaire;
   
   
7. a training program for union stewards or their equivalent in dealing with complaints;

We strongly suggest that harassers seek counselling.
