Letter
Continued from Page 1
letter of this type has been sent out.
She said the purpose of the letter
was to inform new students of sexual
harassment and what to do about it
and to reinforce what upperclassmen
already know.
“It’s something we feel we need to
keep updating,” Daniels said.
The letter suggested routes for
reporting incidents of sexual harass
ment and informed students ofUNL’s
Sexual Harassment Committee, which
was formed in May 1987.
The committee educates students,
faculty and staff about sexual harass
ment, offers support for harassment
victims and makes recommendations
to the administration and the Affirma
tive Action Office to foster an envi
ronment free of sexual harassment.
According to a pamphlet published
by the Affirmative Action Office,
sexual harassment is defined as “any
unsolicited behavior which asserts a
person’s sex as a factor of his/her
function as an employee, student, or
NCAA

Eight would receive shares based on a
plan the NCAA is expected to ap
prove in December.
The new revenue division plan
would divide about $70 million of the
projected $115 million in television
revenue among all Division I schools
based on two criteria, he said.
Conference members would divide
$31 million based on performance in
the NCAA basketball tournaments
between 1985 and 1990. Another $31
million would be divided based on
the number of sports programs and
athletic scholarships each school
supports, Marchiony said.
In the past, Marchiony said, schools
were awarded money based only on
the performance of conference teams
in NCAA tournaments.
By distributing a portion of money
according to the number of scholar
ships and athletic programs a univer
sity supports, “we are trying to get
away from the idea of money being
tied to the amount of games a team
wins,” he said.
Fouraker said that the proposal is a
step in the right direction to take the
emphasis away from winning.
The remaining $45 million of tele
vision revenue would be used to sup
port such NLA A programs as cata
strophic injury insurance for all NCAA
athletes, a S3 million emergency fund
and a S25,(XX) academic-enhancement
grant for each school.
Under the catastrophic injury in
surance, Fouraker said, athletes who
sustain career-ending injuries would
qualify for the insurance.
He said UNL currently carries its
own insurance on athletes. The pro
posal could mean that athletes would
be covered by the NCAA and UNL
would no longer need tocarry its ow n
insurance.
The $45 million also would in
clude S3 million for an emergency
fund for needy Division I athletes.
Fouraker said the fund would be
used for athletes who arc a long dis
tance from home and need to get
home for an emergency.
The $25,(KK) grant to each school
for academic enhancement could be
used to improve tutoring programs
for athletes, Fouraker said.

peer. It includes any unwanted sexual
behavior, comments, suggestions,
actual threats of losing or lowering
work or academic status, and/or forced
sexual relations.”
Two years ago, 25 percent of female
students and 9.2 percent of male stu
dents at UNL reported some type of
sexual harassment by fellow students,
faculty or staff members, the pam
phlet said.
Twenty-three percent of female
faculty members had experienced
sexual harassment from someone in
authority over them. Male faculty
members were not mentioned.
“Considering the number of stu
dents, patrons and employees... I do
not think we (UNL) have an unusu
ally high number” of incidents, Munn
said.
Since the pamphlet was published,
he said, “the number of incidents has
increased, but that’s because there is
a line of reproach.” Now, there arc
official channels to go through, he
said.
Sexual harassment can be reported
in two ways, Munn said.
Employees or students can file an
informal complaint with their super
visor or the Sexual Harassment Con
sultant Network, Munn said. Filing
the complaint records the event and
then a mutually satisfactory resolu
tion is discussed by the complainant
and the supervisor.
If a resolution cannot be reached
within five working days, a formal
written complaint can be filed with
the Affirmative Action officer.
After the written complaint is filed,
an investigation is conducted by the
Affirmative Action Office, Munn said.
Munn encouraged those who feel
they have been harassed to report the
incident.
“You have a right to complain and
have your side heard,” he said. “Keep
in mind sexual harassment is a form
of sexual discrimination, and it’s for
bidden by university policy.”
In sexual harassment cases, the
harasser can receive suspension, ter
mination, probation or removal from
teaching or management responsibili
ties.
Munn said he thought that most
people feel they get a “pretty fair
judiciary.”
