We welcome yesterday’s news from Dean Gay about sanctions against Jorge Domínguez.
Her decision will give much-needed relief to all those affected by the case and send a strong signal about what the University considers standard rules of collective living across our academic community.
The Weatherhead Center for International Affairs will continue to take appropriate steps to foster a positive climate where all students, staff, and faculty are fully respected as human beings. We continue to invite your thoughts and reactions concerning how to improve our community, and how to create a more inclusive culture that allows everyone to do their best work and flourish.
Finally, I want to remind you of the resources available should you experience or witness sexual or gender-based harassment. They include the FAS Title IX Coordinators, the University Title IX Office, the Office of Sexual Assault Prevention and Response, Harvard University Counseling and Mental Health Services, the Harvard Chaplains, and the Employee Assistance Program. If you are perplexed about steps to take, the ombudsman’s office is an important resource and one that will help you determine the appropriate course of action.
Best regards,
Michèle Lamont
