“…Several international studies also supported the findings above. For example, a study found that victims of sexual violence in university often hesitated to report the cases because they feared that their issue would not be taken seriously (Kirkner, Lorenz, & Mazar, 2020). In addition, universities often neglected the victim of sexual violence with very little attention on seriously dealing with their cases (Marshall, Dalyot, & Galloway, 2014).…”

This qualitative study analysed how aspects of critical consciousness in students played a role in the issue of sexual violence in a higher education institution. This research involved students, lecturers, and elements of higher education leaders of a university in Aceh, Indonesia. For the data collection method, the researchers used semi-structured interviews. The data was analysed using thematic analysis with the utilization of critical consciousness and student agency concept as the theoretical frameworks. This study found that aspects of critical consciousness played a significant role in dealing with sexual violence issues in university. Without critical consciousness, students would potentially err in analysing the issue of sexual violence. Aspects of students' critical consciousness were also influenced by the structure or discourse of higher education in viewing sexual violence. The tendency of campus to be more concerned with its good reputation also exacerbated the handling and prevention of sexual violence cases. The implication of this research is the finding that critical consciousness and institutional structure influence each other, both positively and negatively. To deal with sexual violence, a university must promote critical consciousness among students and academics, create pro survivors’ discourse and underpin students' agency, and most importantly, strive to cultivate gender equity perspective among university leaders. Future research should focus on investigating effective pedagogy to nurture critical consciousness for supporting the anti-sexual violence agenda in a higher education institution

“…In the context of #MeToo, sexual harassment has been characterized as “an epidemic” in higher education (Bondestam & Lundqvist, 2020) that “reinscribes patriarchal power relations within the university” (Kirkner et al., 2020, para. 1).…”

“…According to one survey, almost 90% of health education faculty have experienced sexual harassment by coworkers (Hu et al., 1996). A different survey shows 40% of faculty and staff who have experienced harassment choose not to report it (Kirkner et al., 2020). Victims refrain from complaining because they fear not being taken seriously, lack of university action, repercussions, scrutiny of their personal and professional lives, and loss of academic or professional identities (Goldhill & Slobin, 2017; Kirkner et al., 2020).…”

“…Victims of harassment often lose academic self-confidence (Benson & Thomson, 1982) and perceive an erosion of respect and acceptance by their peers (Cortina et al., 1998). Furthermore, victims who do report, often do so to non-university peers, limiting the possibility to hold perpetrators responsible (Kirkner et al., 2020).…”

From F-Bombs to Kissing Students: Media Framing of Male and Female Professors Accused of Sexual Harassment

This constructionist framing analysis identified media frames in news coverage of four tenured professors, two men and two women, accused of sexual harassment at research-intensive universities: Jorge Dominguez (Harvard), Coleman Hutchison (University of Texas), Avital Ronell (New York University), and Teresa Buchanan (Louisiana State University). The following four frames, some of which were distinctly gendered, were identified in the news coverage of the professors: Little Boys Being Bad; Academic Power Players; Treacherous Stay-Away-Froms; and Eccentric Freethinkers. The findings are discussed through a feminist lens, which prioritizes gendered power dynamics and social norms. The analysis indicates that news coverage of sexual harassment still limits recognition of the problem’s systemic nature and the institutional responsibility to prevent it. The article further contributes to the feminist literature on sexual harassment by demonstrating that the term “sexual harassment” is often misused to avoid including details about what has happened to victims.
