ALMANAC April 30, 19912

FOR COMMENT-At the request of University Council, the President has undertaken over the past year toformulate anewRacial Harassment Policyto replace the current policy (see Policies and Procedures or the Handbook for Faculty and Academic Administrators. Backgroundon the issue and drafts ofalternative policies which havefigured in the discussion may befound in Almanac 1/12/88,3/27/90,10/2/90, 11/27/90, 12/11/90, and 3/19/91). Draft definitions of racial harassment were discussed at length at the March and Aprilmeetings of University Council. After considering the extensive debate in University Council, the wide-ranging comments at a well-attended Public Forum last December, and consultations with many groups and members of the University community, the Presi-dent proposes to adopt the policy printed below. It includes in section IV (Resources) information on University support servicesand adjudication procedures. This material is identical to that included in the "Draft Alternative" policy published in Almanacon October 2, 1990. The proposal below will be on the agenda of University Councilfor discussion at its meeting on May 8, 1991.Members ofthe University community are asked to direct any additional comments regarding this proposal to the Office of thePresident, 100 College Hall, no later than May 10, 1991.

Proposed Racial Harassment PolicyApril 30, 1991

I. Preamble: The Ideal of an Academic CommunityThe University of Pennsylvania is a community devoted to learning;

it therefore provides the maximum latitude for the expression, examina-tion and criticism of ideas. The intellectual freedom to which we aspireas a community requires that the University protect the rights ofexpression and of inquiry of each individual member of the Universitycommunity, and that it also sustain an atmosphere that encourages thefull participation of each ofits members in the intellectual and academiclife of the University.

In orderto attain this goal, the University must beready to protect theutterance of ideas, opinions, information and knowledge that may bedeemed objectionable and insulting to some members of the Universitycommunity. The best protection against abhorrent ideas is theunfetteredoperation of the academic community as a marketplace of ideas; in thelong run, the truer and better ideas will prevail.

At the same time, the University must also preserve the ability of allmembers of the community to participate to the fullest extent possible inthe life of the University. Therefore, the University does not tolerateabusive behavior by members of the University community. Suchbehavior is unacceptably disruptive of the University's function. Undersome circumstances the use of certain words or symbols may constituteabusive behavior. Words that are intended only to inflict pain andsuffering are no more legitimate in ourcommunity than physical actionsintended to inflict bodily harm. Such words can hurt asmuchas aphysicalassault. Therefore, abusive utterances or other conduct which causedirect injury to an identifiable individual, on the basis of his or her race,color, ethnicity, ornational origin, shouldnot be tolerated any more thanviolence itself.

II. Racial Harassment PolicyNo member of the University community may engage in racial

harassment, regardless of time orplace. Racial harassment is a violationofUniversity policyand maybe the basisfordisciplinaryaction."Racialharassment" is defined as any verbal or symbolic behavior that:

1. is directed at an identifiable person or persons; and2. insults, or demeans, or abuses a power relationship with, the

personorpersons towhom the behavioris directed, on the basis of hisorherrace,color, ethnicity, ornational origin, such as (butnot limitedto) by the use of slurs, epithets, hate words, demeaning jokes, orderogatory stereotypes; and

3. is intended by the speaker or actorto inflict direct injury on theperson orpersons to whom the behavior is directed; or is sufficientlyabusive ordemeaning that areasonable, disinterested observerwouldconclude thatthe behavioris so intended; or occurs in a contextsuchthat an intent to inflict direct injury may reasonably be inferred.

Ill. Related Policies and LawsIn addition, in this Universitycommunity the following behaviors are

also deemed to cause direct injury and are therefore prohibited underother University policies on conduct, affirmative action, sexual harass-

ment, or non-discrimination on the basis of race, color, ethnicity,national origin, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, disability, orstatus as a disabled or Vietnam-era veteran, or under applicable laws:

- Violence against persons or property, breach of the peace,threat of immediate violence, or incitement to immediate violenceorto breach of the peace.- Discrimination in the administration of University policies or

the conduct of University programs.- Discriminatory deprivation ofaccessto educational, extra-cur-ricular, research, service, or employmentresources ofthe University.- Discriminatory threat to educational or employment status.

IV. ResourcesThe University believes that a strong system ofinformal resolution to

receive and handle most racial harassment complaints will encouragereporting and resolution of complaints. To this end, school and admin-istrative units should make known to all their members the availableresources and the informal procedures for resolving complaints of racialharassment within the unit or at the University level.

These resources include the following:A. Information, Counseling and Support

The following University resources are available to members of theUniversity community who seek information and counseling aboutUniversity policies onracial harassment, standardsofbehavior, informaland formal mechanisms for resolving complaints and resources forcomplainants and respondents.A harassment information resource manual has been forwarded to all

deans and directors. Additional information on issues ofracial harass-ment is available directly from resource offices named in the policy.Deans and directors may make referrals to resource offices as follows:

- Office of Affirmative Action- African American Resource Center- Faculty/Staff Assistance Program- Gay and Lesbian Peer Counseling- Office of Labor Relations- Office of the Ombudsman- Office of Staff Relations- Victim Support and Security Services- Penn Women's Center- University Counseling Service- Student Health Service Psychiatric Service

B. Informal Mechanisms for Mediation and ResolutionThe Ombudsman, the Office of Affirmative Action, the Women's

Center, all other offices named as resource offices in this policy, theJudicial Inquiry Officer, the Director of Student Life, the Office ofResidential Living, department chairs, deans and administrative direc-tors, the provost, and the senior vice president are available to assist inthe informal resolution of complaints.

(continued next page)

3ALMANAC April 30, 1991

C. Formal Mechanisms for Resolution and AdjudicationWhen informal resolution is not chosen or is unsatisfactory, com-

plainants are urged to use appropriate formal mechanisms describedbelow:

1. Complaints ofracial harassment against a faculty member, in-structor, or teaching assistant may be brought by a student, staff, orfaculty member to a department chair or dean ofthe faculty member.The department chair or dean who receives a complaint is thencharged with pursuing the matter. While the process depends on theparticulars of the complaint, normally the department chair or deaninterviews the faculty member. If the matter is not resolved infor-mally, the department chair or dean either conducts an investigationor requests that the Ombudsman, the Office of Affirmative Action,the Office of Staff Relations, or the Office of Labor Relaiions do so.If the results of the investigation persuade the dean or departmentchair that sanctions are warranted, he/she consults with facultymembers-without disclosing the identity of the individuals in-volved-to aid in determining an appropriate sanction, includingwhether there is substantial reasontobelieve that just causeexists forsuspension or termination. If it is determined that action should betaken to suspend or terminate, the dean should refer the matter to theCommittee on Academic Freedom and Responsibility of the schoolfor proceedings in accordance with the procedures set out in sectionII.E.10. of the Handbookfor Faculty and Academic Administrators(1989).

2. Complaints ofracial harassment against a staffmember maybe brought by a student, staffmember or faculty member to a super-visoroftheone complained against. Thesupervisor who receives thecomplaint is then charged withpursuing thematter. While theprocesswill depend upon the particulars of the complaint, normally thesupervisor interviews the staffmember. If the matter is not resolvedinformally,thesupervisor eitherconductsan investigation or requeststhat the Ombudsman or Office of Affirmative Action do so. If theresult of the investigation persuades the supervisor that sanctions arewarranted, he or she consults with his or her colleagues or supervi-sor-without disclosing the identity of individuals involved-to aidin determining an appropriate sanction.

3. Complaints by students ofracial harassment may be made tothe Director of the Office of Student Life, in accordance with theStudent Grievance Procedure set out in Penn Policies and Proce-dures. Grievances associated with racial harassment in studentemployment may also fall within the director's purview.

4. A complaint of racial harassment may be brought against astudent by filing a complaint under the Charter of the UniversityStudent Judicial System, or, if the respondent is a graduate orprofessional student enrolled in a school which has established ahearing board or other decision-making body, with that body.

5. A tenured or untenured faculty member, whether full or parttime, who believes she orhe has been subjected to racial harassmentby a faculty member or by any academic administrator may file agrievance under the Faculty Grievance Procedure, Handbook forFaculty andAcademic Administrators (1989), Part If.E.15, providedthecomplaint constitutes agrievance asdefined insection I ofthe Pro-cedure. This procedure is administered by the Faculty GrievanceCommission. Thepanelmakesitsrecommendation totheprovost. Incases that involve reappointment, promotion or tenure, and in whichthe provost has declinedorfailed to implement therecommendationsofthe panel tothe satisfaction of the grievant, the grievant mayobtaina hearing before the Senate Committee on Academic Freedom andResponsibility on the actions of the provost.

6. If the matter previously has not been referred to a differentpanel or committee, a student or staff member who believes that sheor he has been subjected to racial harassment by a faculty member,and whose complaint has not been resolved through the mechanismslisted above, may bring the matter to the Faculty Senate Committeeon Conduct. This Committee is a standing committee of the FacultySenate. Atmeetings with the Committee, the studentor staffmembermay be accompanied by an advisor who is a member of the Univer-sity community (student, faculty or staff.) The findings and recom-mendations oftheCommittee shall beadvisory and shall be submittedto the provost for her or his decision and implementation.

D. Central Reporting of Racial Harassment1. A decentralized system ofresources encourages resolution of

complaints of racial harassment. Such a system is useful as well asa means to gather sufficient information to render judgments aboutharassment generally. To that end, and with the consent of the com-plainant, those offices listed in Sections IV. A. and IV. B. of this

policy thathavehandled through mediation orcounseling acomplaintthat wasnotsubmitted toa formal hearing boardshould forwardtotheOmbudsman a report of the matter as soon as it is received. Suchreports should not include the names of the persons involved. Theyshould include, however, a description of the complaint, the school oradministrative unit with which the complainant and respondent areaffiliated and the disposition of the complaint. In the case ofa largedepartment in a large school, the department also should be identified.

Reports from decentralized areas will enable the Ombudsman toidentify patterns in a particular location and the frequency of suchincidents in a given area. Such information can then be transmittedto the appropriate dean or administrative supervisor. These reportswill also enable the Ombudsman to act on behalfof the communityand to conduct whatever investigation he or she deems necessary todetermine whether University regulations are being violated.

2. Summary reports of formal charges of racial harassment thathave been adjudicated and records of their disposition should be for-warded to the Ombudsman's Office as a matter of information by theresource offices named in this policy.

3. Based on the information forwarded to her or him during theprevious year, the Ombudsman shall submit to the president on anannual basis a summary report ofthe number and type of formal andinformal chargesofracial harassment and theirresolution by September 15 of the academic year. This report will be shared with theUniversity community early in the semester.

E. Education and PreventionThe prevention of racial harassment and the establishment of effec

tive procedures with due concern for all parties require a thoughtfuleducational program.

1. University resource offices will provide to the community in-formation on:

a. available mediation and resolution resources; andb. sources of support and information for victims and respon-

dents.2. Deans and heads ofmajor administrative units are encouraged

to discuss this policy and issues of racial harassment at meetings offaculty and staff.

3. Training programs forresidential advisors, senior administra-tive fellows, those who meet students in crisis situations and othersserving in an advising capacity to students will include training aboutreferrals, resources, and methods for handling instances ofracial harassment.

4. An overall educational program for students that addressesissues of peer racial harassment and also provides information,definition, support, and the identification of racial harassment resources has been developed by the Office of Student Life, the Officeof Affirmative Action, and the Penn Women's Center in conjunctionwith the Office of Residential Living, the Council of College HouseMasters, and the Council of Senior Faculty Residents involved withthe FreshmanYearProgram. Suchaneducational program is directedtoward new undergraduate and graduate/professional students.

5. The University will publish annually the operative portions ofthis policy statement, including information about the resourcesavailable to advise, counsel and assist in the mediation of racialharassment allegations. Information will explain how and where tocontact University-wide and school specific resources and will beposted in conspicuous locations.

All members of the University should feel a responsibility to try andprevent racial harassment whenever they observe it. Community membersshould report racial harassment to appropriate University resourcespromptly for appropriate action.

F. Exit InterviewsDeans and administrative directors will periodically survey departing

students, faculty and staff to measure the existence and frequency ofreports of racial harassment.

Based on the data yielded by these surveys and the annual reports ofthe Ombudsman, the University Administration will determine, inconsultation with the University Council, whether there is need forfurther efforts to be taken on the issue of racial harassment.

G. ImplementationDeans and administrative directors will be responsible for the im-

plementation of this policy. The provost and senior vice president willoversee the performance ofdeans and directors in the implementation ofthis policy.

Speaking OutThe following was sent also to The Daily

Pennsylvanian by the Commission.

Violation of ConfidentialityThe Faculty Grievance Commission was

most disturbed to read the article in the

April 23rd issue of The Daily Pennsylvanianthat claimed to be areport of amatter pend-ing before the commission. The article

nameda member of the faculty who was

identified as appealing his tenure decision

by "several professors in the department."The article continued with the statement that

"two professors whoare not directly in-

volved in the grievance said yesterday the

commission has decided to hear (his)

complaint."

According to the handbookfor Facultyand Academic Administrators:

"The work of the commission and its pan-elsrequires the highest levels of sensitivityto the privacy of all concerned. Members

of the commission, members of panels,

grievants, respondents, colleagues,witnessesand all other concernedpartieshave the moral obligation to maintain con-fidentiality with respect to oral and docu-mentary evidence presented and delibera-tions occurring during the process ofgrievances."

Thecommission has always interpretedthisas

meaning that the names of the grievants are

protected by confidentiality by all concerned

parties-which means the members of the

grievant's department and school. It is essen-

tial to the grievanceprocess that confidential-

ity be maintained and eases accepted by the

commission not be presented in apublic for-

mat. Accordingly, any story, true or untrue,

purporting to report on the fact or processingofa grievance, is not sanctioned by thecom-

mission and is a violation of the letter and

spirit of the grievance procedure.-JuneA.rinn, Past Chair

-Kenneth D. George, Chair-Gerald Prince, Chair-Elect

AAUP on ConfidentialityWe are disappointed and dismayed to

read in The Daily Pennsylvanian of 23 and24 April, 1991 statements attributed to fac-

ulty members related to a Grievance Proce-dure currently in process. The Faculty Griev-ance Procedure states (and maybe read in itsentirety on pages 55-61 of the handbookforFaculty and Academic Administrators):

"The work ofthe commission and its pan-els requires the highest level of sensitivityto the privacy of all concerned. Members

of the commission, members of panels,gnevants, respondents, colleagues, wit-

the moral obligation to maintain confiden-

tiality with respect to oral and documen-

tary evidence presented and deliberations

occurring during the processing of griev-ances..."

Thecontent ofarticles such as that in theDP

related to acurrent activity of the Grievance

Commission must be considered a breach of

academic etiquette at the very least, a

violation oftrust among colleagues for a

certainty, and potentially a breach of the

confidentiality ofthe proceedings which

may jeopardize the process.The reasons for the exercise of poor dis-

cretion in the public arena are many.However breach of confidentiality shouldnot occur in a community of scholars; in-stead the principles ofthe Grievance Processmust be honored in all respects.

Humane Use of AnimalsIn September, 1990, The AV, the

journal of the American Anti-VivisectionSociety, published the first in a series ofarticles whose specific purpose was todestroy the animal research credibility ofProfessor Adrian Morrison. Since then, a

monthly attack has been made upon hisresearch activities. Adrian is a professorin the School of Veterinary Medicine atthe University of Pennsylvania. In October1990 a small numberofprofessors in theSchool of Medicine at the University ofPennsylvania circulated an open letter of

support both for Dr. Morrison and for thehumane use of animals in biomedical re-search. Upon circulation, this letter rapidlybecame an open letter from the Penn bi-omedical community, with signatures ofhundreds of people who supported the let-ter. Support came from all levels ofprofes-sors (including emeritus professors), stu-dents, administrators, technicians, faculty,and many others.

Attatched* are approximately 350 sig-natures of members of the University ofPennsylvania biomedical community who

speak out for the support of Dr. Morrison,and just as important, support the humaneuse of animals in biomedical research.

This is the first time that so manymembers of a university biomedical com-munity have spoken out against the tacticsof the animal rights movement, and whohave at the same time voiced support forthe humane use of animals in biomedicalresearch.

There is no way we can change the pre-ceptions of fanatical movements, andwehave no wish to spend time trying to swaythem from their immutable positions. Thatis one reason we have circulated an openletter of support, and not a petition. Theyhave a right to their opinions, even thoughwe perceive these opinions as anti-intellec-tual and anti-health. We deem our actionsas essential for the continuance andimprovement of health care to all, includ-ing pets, wild life, farm animals, and hu-mans. The fate for the health of humans in

particular and all other animals, nowandin the future, depends upon a continuanceofthe proper and humane use of animalsin biomedical research. The thoughts ex-pressed in this letter are my own, and notnecessarily those whosigned the open let-ter of support.

Open Letter Protesting AttacksWe, the undersigned professors, re-

searchers and students at the University ofPennsylvania, take strong exception to thescurrilous attack made against our colleagueAdrian Morrison in the September 1990issue ofTheAV magazine. John McArdlePh.D., wrote the article for the AmericanAnti-Vivisection Society (Jenkintown, Penn-sylvania). This contrived article purports toexaminein an objective mannerthe merit ofAdrian's research by doing an analysis ofthecitation value ofhis published works.A citation index analysis is not an ade-

quate way to evaluate the significance of ascientist's research. Certainly the peer re-view committees of NSFand NIH, whichaward millions of dollars in research grants,do not use such an imprecise and inadequatemethod. Many of the most frequently citedpapers are concerned with matters ofmeth-odology and techniques, and hence havelittle or no bearing on the quality of theresearch. Avalid analysis would be thecitation value obtained from investigators inthe same research field and members ofpeerreview panels whojudge the value of aninvestigators research. In fact, Dr. Morrisonwas one ofthe few recipients of theprestigious MERITresearch awards from theNational Institutes of Health.

We,the undersigned, are or have been allengaged in human, clinical, animal, or basicresearch and support Dr. Morrison and allothers whoperform, in a humane and ethicalmanner, animal research so beneficial andnecessary not only to the health of peoples inall societies, but to the health of animals.Wedo this not out of self interest, but because ofour interest in acquiring the basic knowledgeleading to better health and medicaltreatment for all, including those whosounjustly accuse us of improper activities.

The signatures below represent a widespectrum of biomedical research at theUniversity ofPennsylvania and support theuse of animals in biomedical research.

Childhood Immunization Month

The 21st Century League will kick off animmunization campaign for children through-out the city on the weekend of May 4, 5, and 6,from 1 p.m. to5p.m. During the weekend, cityand federal health centers will be open andselected hopsitals thoughout the city will pro-vide free vaccines. It is estimated thatapproxi-mately 40%, or more than 50,000 childrenfrom birth to age six have not been fullyimmunized,and are therefore atserious risk fordiseases such as measles, rubella, mumps,polio and whooping cough.

The campaign, under the direction of co-chairs Lucy Hackney, founder and presidentofPennsylvania Partnerships for Children andBettina Hoerlin, vice presidentof HealthCareManagement Alternatives, seek volunters tostaff immunization sites both during the kick-off weekend and therest of the month of May.For further information, call Judy Cohen at568-0399.

Volunteers for Diabetes Treatment StudyHUP is looking for research volunteers with diabetic retinopathy for a six-month study

todeterminewhether anewdrug treatment will help improve the "leakiness" ofsmall bloodvessels. Thesebloodvessel abnormalities arebelieved tocontribute totheclinical problemsdiabetics develop ineyes, skin andkidneys. Diet and insulin alonedonot predictably preventthese problems from developing. HUP researchers hope that this new drug treatment,combined with insulin injectins, will help those who already have these small blood vesselabnormalities from developing other clinical problems.

Those selected to participate in the study will receive expert medical care of their dia-betes as well as eye evaluations at no cost duringthe six months. Eligible participants mustbe between 21 and 55, have background retinopathy, and treat their diabtetes with diet anddailyinsulin injections. Inaddition, volunteers mustnot have hypertension, any othermajordiabtetic complication, or have had any previous laser treatment of the retina.

For further information on how to volunteer for HUVs Diabetes Adjuvant TreatmentStudy, call Debora Crump, study coordinator, at 662-2569.
