Blotnick said that many of the college men still seemed undaunted by the threat of AIDS, in comparison to the women surveyed. "There's a kind of Garden of Eden mentality which is, in fact, making them a little more promiscuous," the poller said. PRINCETON
Provost Will Investigate Alleged Sexual Harassment
In the wake of a recent episode of alleged sexual harassment, Princeton President William G. Bowen has asked Provost Neil Rudenstein to investigate Princeton's sexual harassment policy, in response to student complaints.
Rudenstein will investigate the administration's role in the affair, as well as the effectiveness of the university's current policy on this issue, The Daily Princetonian reported.
The controversy started on January 22, when a senior member of the Dial Lodge eating club allegedly harrassed a junior woman visiting the club.
Princeton's Disciplinary Committee placed the male student on probation for a term and gave the female student a "dean's warning" for "provocative behavior."
As part of strong student criticism of the decision, the Princeton's Women's Center organized a forum early this month to discuss the issue of sexual harassment on campus. Equal numbers of men and women, 150 students in all, attended the event.
Students complained that the Disciplinary Committee did not fully investigate the case, and that the members of the eating club who testified did not have to give an oath of honesty before speaking. Students also asked that a separate committee be formed to evaluate sexual harassment cases. STANFORD
