The latest chapter in a sexual harassment dispute between a former graduate student and a professor concluded on March 3, when an appeals court dismissed the case of Marita Hyman.

The Cornell University Police Department on Tuesday reported two similar, yet apparently unrelated harassment incidents. Both involved female victims who said “an unidentified male approached them while they were walking and grabbed them unexpectedly,” according a CUPD crime alert emailed to the Cornell community.

In light of the scandal that has hit the Africana Studies program, it's time to take a look about the context of harassment, and the institutional procedures the University has in place.

D.P. Dough and the Ithaca Police Department are at the center of controversy this week amid allegations of racial prejudice against members of the black student community.
