Fight to protect our college students. End harassment in colleges!

    Intimidation, aggression, bullying, sexual assault, discrimination, abuse, and hostility. These are just a few names of what harassment can look like. Every year 67% of college students report they have experienced some form of harassment. 61% state they have witnessed another student being harassed ("Harassment on College Campuses | Hollaback! Together We Have the Power to End Harassment", 2018). Our Higher Education Institutions (IHE) have fallen short. We need to protect our college students. We need to provide them with an environment where they feel protected as they pursue their education. It is our duty as a society to prevent and eliminate harassment and discrimination against any person, group, or class because of their race, ethnicity, national origin, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, marital status, political belief, religion, immigration status, or mental or physical ability (NASW, 2017).

    The Tyler Clementi Higher Education Anti-Harassment Act of 2017 is a current bill that is proposing further protection to our students of higher education. This bill requires IHE to report a statement available to all students of their institution’s policy regarding harassment. This statement must include a clear definition of harassment, the programs available that prevent harassment, what procedures one should follow if they fall victim to harassment, and the procedures that will be implemented if harassment is reported (H.R. 2151- 115th Congress, 2017-2018). This policy also will provide grants to finance programs that help prevent harassment within in higher education institutions.

    We need to provide education and recourses to our college students regarding harassment. This Bill can help provide further protection and education to our students of Higher Education Institutions. Support this petition and help take a stand and fight to end harassment in colleges!
