Erased: Ending
Faculty Sexual Misconduct
Among graduate and professional students,
24% of the sexual harassment incidents experienced by women (18.2% for men) were perpetrated by a faculty member.
~ Cantor et al., 2020
Drs. Sarah Young & Kim Wiley, with the support
of eminent scholar Dr. Fran Berry, wrote
"Erased: Why faculty sexual misconduct is prevalent
and how we could prevent it", a call to action to
end faculty sexual misconduct.
Fifteen of the top public affairs journals
across the world responded, collectively standing up against this egregious behavior. Together, the journals published an abridged version of "Erased: Ending faculty sexual misconduct in academia. An open letter from women of public affairs education."
It is one of only a handful of times in history that academic journals have published the same article across multiple journals. The field responded to the call to action resoundingly, working together as a united front to end faculty sexual misconduct.
