Prof seeks new sexual harassment hearing
(Continued from Page 1)
mittee and will not re-examine the
evidence presented in the original
hearings, said Herbert Hildebrandt,
chairman of the Senate Advisory
H;.IA
Committee on University Affairs
(SACUA).
UNDER SECTION 5.09 guidelines,
SACUA is not obligated to hear the ap-
peal, but agreed to, Hildebrandt said,
because this is the first time that the
Committee on Tenure has heard a
dismissal case.
"We are trying very, very hard to be
fair," said Hildebrandt. "This is the fir-
st time in University history that this
procedure (Section 5.09) has been
used, so we are going about it very
carefully."
If SACUA concludes that the hearings
were not conducted fairly, the case will
be heard again by the tenure commit-
tee.
BUT IF SACUA finds the hearings
were carried out properly, the commit-
tee's recommendations will be sent to
University President Harold Shapiro.
Under Section 5.09, Shapiro may con-
sult with SACUA, the vice president for
academic affairs and the LSA ad-
ministration before sending his own
recommendations on the case to the
Regents for final action.
Hildebrandt said he would not discuss
the charges in the case.
"At this point, any disclosure might
influence the final outcome," he said.
"SACUA will meet as soon as possible."
In another sexual harassment case
this year a review board in the
Rackham School of Graduate Studies
took action against a Medical School
professor who harassed a graduate
student.
Virginia Nordby, director of affir-
mative action at the University said her
office would soon prepare a report to
University deans and department
heads to alert them to the cases of
sexual harassment.
