The guide presents facts and issues concerning sexual harassment and date rape so that college and university administration and governing boards can make informed decisions about programs, policy, and procedures to minimize the incidence of these problems on campus.

A checklist for boards to use in policy review and development is included. The second section of the guide addresses date rape: its definition; frequency of occurrence; how date rape occurs; impact; legal implications; board policy issues (elements of good policy, informal options, and elements in conducting an investigation); development of educational and preventive measures; and the institution's response to victims. Appended materials include the University of Iowa's stated policy on consensual sex and lists of additional resources concerning sexual harassment and date rape. Contains 26 references. (MSE)
