Most respondents who reported harassment said the situation was resolved when the course ended or the harasser left campus.

Those who approached a University official had mixed feelings about the advice they received.

One graduate student who reported being fondled by a professor said the two former professors she approached for advice were "not very helpful they advised avoiding him and not making [the situation] worse by bringing it out in the open."

Another graduate student who consulted a teaching fellow about a professor who was harassing her said the teaching fellow "blamed me as responsible."

Many victims said they did not report incident because it was not serious enough or they did not before anything could be done about the situation.

Under Harvard's existing procedures, undergraduates complaints are channeled to Assistant Dean of the College Marlyn M. Lewis '70 and the senior tutors.

Mother House Senior Tutor Stephen Epstein said yesterday he has never been approached about sexual harassment by a person in authority, adding that in light of the report, "statistically I should have seen plenty of people."

Epstein said he believed existing procedures are adequate, adding that more students will probably report problems since the survey has publicized the issue.

Christopher M. Jedrey Jr., senior tutor at Lowell House, agreed, saying the survey would emphasize to women that it is legitimate to report harassment complaints.

Jedrey said he has spoken with some undergraduates about sexual harassment complaints
