FOR COMMENT-

At the request of University Council, the President has undertaken over the past year toformulate a new Racial Harassment Policy to replace the current policy (see Policies and Procedures or the Handbook for Faculty and Academic Administrators. Background on the issue and drafts ofalternative policies which havefigured in the discussion may befound in Almanac 1/12/88,3/27/90, 10/2/90, 11/27/90, 12/11/90, and 3/19/91). Draft definitions of racial harassment were discussed at length at the March and April meetings of University Council. After considering the extensive debate in University Council, the wide-ranging comments at a well- attended Public Forum last December, and consultations with many groups and members of the University community, the Presi- dent proposes to adopt the policy printed below. It includes in section IV (Resources) information on University support services and adjudication procedures. This material is identical to that included in the "Draft Alternative" policy published in Almanac on October 2, 1990. The proposal below will be on the agenda of University Councilfor discussion at its meeting on May 8, 1991. Members ofthe University community are asked to direct any additional comments regarding this proposal to the Office of the President, 100 College Hall, no later than May 10, 1991.
