Chapel Hill, N.C. - A study of
384 ofthe nation's public colleges
and universities recently revealed
that all had some kind of provisions
regulating student speech and be¬
havior. .?'r    •
Arati Korwar, a doctoral stu¬
dent at the University of North
Carolina, found the types of provi¬
sions'regulating student speech or
behavior vary widely. But nearly
80 percent of the schools had pro¬
visions forbidding conduct that in¬
terfered with "classes, research and
other regular activities."
Hazing was the second-most for¬
bidden type of behavior, for which
70 percent of universities had out¬
lined restrictions. For example, a
University of New Orleans defini¬
tion of hazing included paddling,
mandating public appearance in
"apparel that is bizarre or not in
good taste*1 and forcing excessive
fatigue or consumption of alcohol.
Third on the list of most re¬
stricted behavior was verbal abuse.
More than 60 percent ofthe survey
schools prohibited harassment -
distinct from sexual harassment In
addition, about half of the universi¬
ties outlined restrictions on threats
of violence and lewd, indecent or
profane language.
Korwar said she conducted Ihe
study in an attempt to categorize
and define hate-speech codes. "The
estimates on how many schools
had hate-speech codes had varied
so widely," Aie said. "No one had
ever tried to define hate-speech
code." ^
In her report, Korwar criticized
the speech codes as one way that
universities attempt to suppress the'
prejudiced expression and beliefs
of students.
"they're quick fixes that don't
solve the problem of hatred," she
said. 'I'm all for watching what
you say and making sure you don't
offend other people, but (sehsitiv-
ity) has to come from awareness,
not from the knowledge that there's
a rule that will punish you if you
do."
Korwar's study was published
recently by the Freedom Forum's
First Amendment Center in
Vanderbilt, Tenn.

COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE
Ann Arbor, Mich. - Nearly one
out of seven female faculty mem¬
bers at U.S. colleges and universi¬
ties report that they have been sexu¬
ally harassed on the job, a study
indicates.
The survey, conducted by re¬
searchers at the University of Cali¬
fornia-Los Angeles, gathered re¬
sponses from. 30,000 male and fe¬
male faculty members at 270 pub¬
lic and private institution of higher
education.
"The number of female students
who confront sexual harassment is
startlingly large - about 2 million a
year, but the challenges facing fac¬
ulty women have been largely for¬
gotten or ignored," said Eric L.
Dey, an assistant professor of edu¬
cation at UM who helped conduct
the survey.
The researchers also discovered
that full professors were much more
iilcely to report having been ha¬
rassed than instructors or assistant
professors.
