Dear Brothers and Sisters,
> Assalamoalikum
>
> First of all I would like to apologize to all my brothers and
sisters for not using my real email address and name but I hope you
will understand the reason for it. I want to share what dilemma I and
other sisters like me are going thru at the moment in KU-DCS and I
plea to all of you , especially the seniors to guide us in these
difficult times at KU-DCS.
>
> I belong to a middle class family and believe me it took me a lot of
crying and arguing with my parents to convince them to let me study
at the prestigious DCS. You cant imagine how happy I was when I got
admission at DCS. It was like all my prayers were answered on that
day when my name appeared in the list of successful candidates. But
little did I know that there were people like Sir H.S (I am not
writing his full name , just the initials) in the faculty whose sole
purpose is to harass innocent girls in the name of marks.
> Needless to say, I have been a victim of Sir H.S once like many
other sisters but none of us have the courage to come forward and talk
openly. I am afraid, if I talk to my parents about this, I will never
be able to come to the university again. We have approached some
faculty members but all of them have turned a blind eye towards us.
we dont know wot to do. We are just helpless. As a last resort, I am
writing to this mailing list hoping that someone in a strong position
might be able to help me and others like me.
>
> I just want to ask all brothers that why is this happeneing to us??
Why everyday do we have to go thru this mental torture ?? IS it
because we are girls and we want to study for a bright future?? Why
isnt anybody taking action against such horrible people ?? Are we as
a nation really been reduced to eve-teasers and sister-sellers ??
What is our crime ????
>
> Please brothers, I beg all of you to help us. You all must have
sisters. How would you feel if a male teacher tries to touch your
sister's shoulders and back on purpose and make it a habit and on
resisting threatens them of failing in the exam? How would you feel
if a male teacher purposefully makes your sisters wait till late in
the evening for the viva, calls them alone in his room and asks
obscene questions from them?
>
> Brothers, I know I dont have proof of what I am saying. I dont have
any recordings or videos but if you want proof, just visit DCS talk
to a bunch of girls and I guarantee you that you will get proof. I
am sure that more than 20% girls have been victims of Sir H.S or know
someone who has gone through this ordeal.
>
> Again I want to assure that my purpose here is not to degrade or
blame someone but to ask for the help and guidance from my seniors
and also at the same time to make sisters aware who havent yet fallen
a victim.
>
> Moderators, I beg of you , please dont block this email. By doing
so, you will be denying all sisters a warning who might fall prey to
Sir H.S. Again I assure you that wot I speak is the truth and I
strongly believe that the truth can never be hidden. I have a lot of
faith in the moderators of this group as you are my last hope.

> Waiting for help ...

V. PROCEDURES FOR COMPLAINTS FOR SEX HARASSMENT
Where to go to make a complaint.A complainant may report sex harassment to any University official, including the complainant's supervisor, the department chair, or dean. A complainant may also contact the Director of Personnel; a departmental or college equity officer; the faculty ombuds officer; the staff ombuds officer; the Office of Human Relations; or the President's Legal Office. Students may report complaints of peer harassment to the Office of Judicial Programs. The University has structured its sex harassment complaint procedures to allow reporting to a number of people in order to encourage complainants to come forward.
What happens after a complaint is made.The recipient of the complaint is required to contact the President's Legal Office. The Legal Office is responsible for ensuring that the complainant is advised about his or her options, and that appropriate action is taken to resolve the complaint. The University has both formal and informal procedures for resolving sex harassment complaints. Informal procedures involve an investigation and resolution by an appropriate, neutral University official. Formal processes include faculty and staff grievance procedures; Code of Student Conduct procedures; and University Human Relations Code procedures.Failure to use University complaint procedures. Under the Supreme Court's new rulings, a complainant's unreasonable failure to bring a complaint to the attention of University officials may preclude the complainant from obtaining other legal remedies for the harassment.If someone reports a complaint of harassment to you. When any University official or faculty or staff member with supervisory authority receives a report of sex harassment, he or she must notify the President's Legal Office. The Legal Office will normally manage and coordinate the investigation and resolution of the complaint.Why the recipient of a complaint must report it. Under the law, once the University has notice of a complaint, it must take action. Depending upon the status of the person receiving the complaint, notice to that person may constitute notice to the University. If a University official or faculty or staff member with that status receives a complaint and fails to report it, he or she may be subject to legal liability or University disciplinary action.Confidentiality. All reports of sex harassment are considered to be confidential. This means that information about the complaint will be told only to those people who have a legitimate reason to know about it. This includes the alleged harasser. Sometimes a complainant wants to tell a University official or other person with supervisory authority "confidentially" about harassment, but does not want that person to take action. For the reasons stated above, that is not a viable option for the person receiving the complaint. There is no duty of "confidentiality" which overrides an official's or supervisor's responsibility to report the complaint. There are campus counseling services which do provide for confidential discussion of faculty, staff or students problems and concerns. University counselors who are told of sex harassment within confidential counseling will not report the complaint (and are not required to under University policy), absent the consent of the complainant. Consulting confidentially with campus counseling services will not serve to notify University officials for the purposes of investigation and resolution of the complaint. These services are provided by the Health Center Faculty-Staff Assistance Program (314-8170) and the University Counseling Center (314-7561.)What happens when faculty or staff are charged with sex harassment. University policy protects the rights of the alleged harasser as well as the complainant. Faculty and staff charged with sex harassment have the rights set out in the particular procedure used to process the complaint. For example, all campus grievance procedures as well as the Human Relations Code provide for certain rights for the accused. If the informal process is used, the accused will have the opportunity to respond to the complaint.What happens when faculty or staff are found responsible for harassment. If the University determines that a faculty or staff member has engaged in harassment, it will take appropriate disciplinary action, up to and including termination. If a law suit results from a case of proven harassment, the harasser will be required to seek private legal counsel, and will be personally liable for any judgment entered against him or her. The University may also seek indemnification against the harasser for any loss it suffers in the matter. Conversely, if the University determines that there was no inappropriate or illegal conduct by a faculty or staff member, and a law suit results, it will recommend legal representation be provided to the employee by the Office of the Attorney General.Students charged with sex harassment. Students who are charged with sex harassment have the rights and responsibilities set out in the Code of Student Conduct. Complaints may be resolved by a disciplinary conference, or may be heard by a student judicial board. There are a range of penalties, up to and including expulsion. |
