Will this year be any different? The sexual harassment policy now found in the Students' Rights and Responsibilities handbook ("the Greenbook") defines sexual harassment as "a display, by word or deed, of sexual atten lions towards another individual or group ofindividuals of a nature which may reasonably be considered to be vexatious or abusive." A student who feels that she or he has a case under this somewhat ambiguous definition can call one of three sexual harassment assessors on campus, who will then conduct a confidential investigation and make a recommendation to the principal. The principal then decides whether disciplinary action is necessary. The Board of Governors Committee on Regulations el for non-students.

Alternative plans to the current procedure include changing the assessors' role from that of investigator to that of cornpanion and guide through the somewhat complicated procedure. Such a change would entail assigning another person to investigate the case. "There are a lot of tough issues I have to think out for myself and other people," admitted Lisa Grushcow, vp university affairs and work group member.
