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 not be reached for comment. 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." Bill raises doubts over 'U' holdings BY PATRICK STAIGER panies.
