Speaker Addresses Sexual Harassment Issues

Contact: Catherine Axinn, 740-593-2084 or axinn@ohio.edu

Athens, Ohio (April 11, 2000) -- The College of Business is hosting two lectures on sexual harassment issues April 14 by Ohio State University College of Laaw Associate Dean Camille Hebert.

The first lecture, "Sexual Harassment in the Workplace," is from 3:30 to 5 p.m. in Irvine Auditorium and is open to the public. Later at 5:30 p.m., she will present an invitationonly session on "Sexual Harassment in Academia."

Hebert teaches seminars on employment discrimination, sexual harassment and worker privacy at the College of Law. Her research interests include employment discrimination, sexual harassment, employee privacy and alternative dispute resolution.

"It is important to raise awareness of sexual harassment among graduating seniors who will be taking jobs in the workplace," said Catherine Axinn, chair of the College of Business' Ethics, Diversity and Professional Leadership Continuous Improvement Team. "In their eagerness to please new employers, fledgling workers may not always be aware when situations stray out of bounds and the alternative responses available to them. In addition, it is critical for people in power -- faculty and administrators -- to keep current in their understanding of what behavior is appropriate to avoid even inadvertent transgressions."
