This panel will include discussion of a recent report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, titled "Sexual Harassment of Women: Climate, Culture, and Consequences in Academic Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine." The report identifies key findings on the causes and impacts of sexual harassment, and recommendations for institutional policies, strategies, and practices to address and prevent it.

The panel will offer broad discussion of use to any member of the university community or the public interested in sexual harassment in academia, and include ample time for a Q&A with the audience. A reception will follow.
