At Monday's Government faculty meeting, the department unanimously adopted a resolution deploring sexual harassment and pledging to ensure that incidents of sexual harassment do not occur, professors said.

Dominguez apparently did not attend the meeting. He is expected to return to Harvard next week. One Government professor said that some department members were considering proposing that Dominguez be forbidden from attending faculty meetings in the future, as additional punishment.

The graduate student's complaint stated that Dominguez made repeated off-color or paternalistic remarks and, on one occasion a pass at her.

According to Faculty policy, formal harassment complaints are investigated by an administrator and submitted to Rosovsky for a final decision. Cases involving two professors may also be reviewed by an ad hoc Faculty committee.

The policy stipulates that complainants are told whether their case is found to have merit but are not notified what action is taken against the subject of the complaint.

The most recent publicized case of sexual harassment by a professor took place in Spring 1982.

Rosovsky wrote that he found merit in a complaint of sexual harassment filed by a freshman woman against a visiting professor in the English Department. He wrote a letter to the professor admonishing him and the Administrative Board later allowed the student to change her grade for the course from a "C" to "pass."

That case prompted a major review of the Faculty's procedures for handling sexual harassment cases by Rosovsky's steering committee of professors, the Faculty Council. The council eventually made no changes in the procedures.

The incident also helped spark a broad survey of undergraduates, graduate students and Faculty members concerning sexual harassment. The results will be released later this fall.

In December 1979, Rosovsky reprimanded a Government professor for making advances to a freshman woman, and threatened that if the professor repeated the action, the woman would go before the Corporation, which has the power to revoke tenure.

Dominguez is listed in the course catalogue as teaching two graduate courses this semester: a seminar in comparative politics and a class in U.S. -Latin American relations.

He received a B.A. from Yale in 1967, and obtained his Ph.D. at Harvard in 1972.
