Many victims do not report sexual harassment because:

• they have no knowledge of the University’s policy or grievance procedure
• they believe the harassment will stop if the behavior is ignored
• they are afraid no one will believe them
• they are afraid of retaliation
• they lack faith in the system
• they suffer from feelings of guilt and self-doubt

When sexual harassment goes unreported, the harasser’s behavior goes unchecked and countless suffer needlessly.
