Dean of Harvard Law School Martha Minow created a Title IX committee to oversee the law school’s school-specific policy for investigating cases of alleged sexual harassment, the Harvard Crimson reported.
Minow has appointed tenured faculty members to the committee, and the committee will appoint individuals to investigate and adjudicate reports of sexual misconduct within the law school.
The Office for Civil Rights found Harvard Law School to be in violation of Title IX of the Education Amendments in December 2014. The OCR charged the institution with failing to respond promptly and fairly to reports of sexual harassment.
In response, Harvard Law adopted a revised set of policies, including the formation of the committee, to deal with reports of sexual harassment independently from the university’s centralized procedures.
Harvard Law spokesman Robb London said the appointed individuals would begin their terms as soon as the OCR finalizes its review and provide feedback on the proposed procedures.
