Several recent incidents have brought national attention to issues involving male professors and sexual-harassment policies on campuses. Allegations of harassment can involve high stakes for the accused, with dismissal as a possible penalty. Criminal charges for harassment, in contrast to assault, are rare.

The existence of institutional procedures, however, does not assuage the heated feelings and rhetoric that can accompany sexual-harassment allegations. In this article, the author discusses how institutions may help protect the rights of both complainants and accusers in harassment disputes.
