Sexual harassment more common
than many realize, educator says
By Susan MacDonald
Sexual harassment is a more widespread
problem on campus than most people
realize, said a speaker for the Lincoln
Lancaster Commission on the Status of
Women Wednesday.
Pat Riddle, assistant professor ot
Health, Physical Education and Recrea
tion, told students in the Nebraska Union
main lounge that many people don't fully
understand what sexual harassment is.
"It is mot just rape or physical con
tact," she said. "It can be calling someone
'honey' or 'dear.' "
Riddle defined sexual harassment as
"unwanted and unwelcome behavior"
that leads to sexual requirements or sex
ual innuendo.
In a university setting, Riddle said,
sexual harassment has a notion of "uneq
ual power." The student is in a position
of lesser power, while the professor who
has control over the student's final grade
has the upper position, she said.
Riddle identified four types of sexual
activity that are sonsidered sexual haras
sment: -Sexual crimes, including rape, incest,
indecent exposure and fondling, that
cause physical or psychological damage.
This type of activity would be considered
a crime or a misdemeanor if it were report
ed to the police, Riddle said.
Coercion
- Coercion of sexual activity by threat
of punishment.
"On campus it's known as 'get an A for
a lay,' " Riddle said.
Many students who have been sexually
harassed by a professor were afraid they
will receive a failing grade or an unfavor
able recommendation from the agressive
professor if they report the action, she
said.
-Inappropriate sexual advances that
cause discomfort. Riddle said this differs
from the second type of sexual activity
in that there is no actual threat, but the
action will make the person feel uncom
fortable. -Generalized sexist remarks and behav
ior. This includes leering, ogling and
crude sexual comments, Riddle said.
Riddle called this kind of activity
"petit rape." She said it is "being looked
at like you dont have any clothes on "
Sexual harassment is illegal under tw0
federal laws, and has been successfully
prosecuted in many instances, Riddle said
Not only can the aggressor be held
liable for sexual harassment, but the ins
titution can be as well, Riddle said.
University liable
"If a professor sexually harasses a stu
dent, UNL can be held liable for that
behavior," she said. "The university
is supposed to create an environment
where sexual harassment does not oc
cur." Riddle outlined several steps a UNL
student may take if he or she feels sexu
al harassment has occurred:
-The student can go to the Affirmative
Action office in the Administration Build
ing and file a complaint with an officer.
"They (Affirmative Action) will try
to informally confront the harasser.
The problem is usually solved at that
point," Riddle said.
-The student may request a formal
hearing by a grievance panel appointed
by the chancellor. The panel will hear
both sides of the story and send a formal
recommendation to the chancellor.
-The student can go outside the univ
ersity to government agencies that handle
such problems or hire a private attorney
and bring a civil suit against the profes
sor and institution.
-The student may confront the agres
sor personally. Although this can be very
difficult to do, Riddle said, it sets the
stage for both parties to see the behav
ior in the same way and for behavioral
change.
But if a person ignores the situation,
the anger and resentment turn inward and
create an unhealthy situation, often lead
ing to depression, Riddle said.
Several cases of sexual harassment
at UNL have been reported to the Affirm
ative Action office, Riddle said. But many
more go unreported because of fear, she
said.
UNL has informed all of its employees
about sexual harassment, Riddle said.
But she noted that judging from some
of the comments she has heard from
some male faculty members, "we're
not as far along as we think we are."
Former veterans home employee
files appeal disputing termination
By Joe Kreizinger
An appeal was filed in Lancaster County
District Court Wednesday by Golda Bock
brader, former employee of the Nebraska
Veterans Home in Grand Island.
Bockbrader's appeal disputes an Oct.
25 decision by the State Personnel Board
to uphold her termination from the Vet
eran's Home.
Bockbrader said that her March 18,
1980 termination was unjustified. She
also claims that procedure followed by
the State Board in arriving at its decision
was unusually lengthy and unjust.
Bockbrader said at a Wednesday press
conference that she had been employed
by the Veterans Home as a volunteer
recreation coordinator for nearly 10 years
prior to her dismissal. The paid position
involved the training of volunteer recre
ation workers.
According to Elaine A. Waggoner,
Bockbrader's attorney, an initial hearing
m June of 1980, held before Dr. Jan
Pieper, director of state personnel, result
ed in the recommendation that Bock
brader be immediately reinstated with
full back pay and benefits. The decision
was disputed by the Department of Public
Institutions.
Rights violated
Bockbrader claims that her rights were
violated since the case was held, twice
before the State Personnel Board, with
different board members hearing the case
both times.
According to Waggoner, the reason for
Bockbrader s termination is unclear.
"The reason given was inability to
follow decisions of the management"
Waggoner said. "What decisions in par
ticular we are not aware of at this time."
Bockbrader also contends that her
individual right to privacy was violated
when Everett Phillips, Bockbrader's former
supervisor, publicly read a reprimand ot
her to an American Legion convention.
Waggoner claims the reprimand was private
information and was read before a group
of Legionnaires "for no apparent reason."
Waggoner said Phillips justified this
by claiming it would clear up an impending
controversy. Waggoner said what contro
versy involved was not explained.
Reinstatement, backpay
Waggoner said the right of privacy
case will probably be brought to federal
court at a later date, but at this time the
district court could be concentrated on.
Waggoner said she is unsure what right
of privacy damages Bockbrader will seek.
As damages in the district court case, she
seeks reinstatement and full back pay
since her termination.
Bockbrader said a petition with 750
signatures were presented to Gov. Charles
Thone following the Department of
Public Institutions report. The petition
asked Thone to follow Pieper's decision
to reinstate bockbrader with backpay.
"This has not been easy to do," Bock
brader said, "But I'm basically a fighter.
If I don't fight this thing through, I would
have to live with that for the rest of my
life."
Bockbrader is now temporarily em
ployed by the Department of Education
in establishing volunteer programs in
Adult Basic Education throughout Nebraska.
