Camps for Champs is a summer-long
football camp sponsored by the University's
Athletic Department for high school juniors
and seniors. The camp sessions are a week
long for about 750 students each week.
"I have been more abused by the institu-
tions of the Camps for Champs and the Uni-
versity of Michigan Housing Office and their
agents than I could ever be degraded and abused
by an attacker in a sexual assault," the gradu-
ate said. "This is why women don't report as-
sault. I don't know if I would have done it if I
knew ahead that this would happen."
University Housing Security officials could

Steiner said the coaches of the camp should
inform the students before beginning the camp
that sexual harassment is unacceptable, adding
that student counselors should be trained to
handle complaints.
Steiner said students who commit acts of
sexual harassment "should not be tolerated to
be in the camp."
