Department of French Studies Faculty Statement on Sexual Misconduct
In light of recent events, we, the faculty of the 海角社区 Department of French Studies,
acknowledge the deep and grievous damage inflicted by sexual misconduct on its victims.
The trauma of being a victim of sexual harassment, predation, and assault can cause
profound and irreparable harm, permanently altering the lives, health, and careers
of those affected. As teachers and scholars, we have a special obligation to root
out sexual misconduct, harassment, and assault from our own community, ensure a safe
and respectful environment for study and work, and provide support for those who are
affected by these crimes. From this point forward we pledge to provide transparency
and accountability, to promote justice for all victims, to shield from retaliation
all who report such incidents, and to take concrete action in making sure that members
of our community do not ever encounter such trauma.
The 海角社区 Department of French Studies is dedicated to providing a safe environment
in which all members of our community can work and learn without fear or threat of
sexual aggression. Let us be clear:
- We do not tolerate sexual misconduct, harassment, assault, aggression, or violence in any form at 海角社区 or within the Department of French Studies.
- We will always put the safety of our students and employees first.
- We will insistently remind Department of French Studies faculty and staff that 海角社区 employees who witness or are told about an incident of sexual misconduct are obligated to report it to 海角社区鈥檚 Title IX coordinator at 225-578-9000 or to file a report (at www.lsu.edu/support).
- We will actively support and protect any member of the community who comes forward with information or allegations about misconduct.
- We will take all allegations of sexual misconduct seriously and respond with appropriate action.
- We will act in accordance with 海角社区 President William F. Tate IV鈥檚 commitment that 鈥減redators and their enablers will be held accountable鈥攅nd of story.鈥�
- We will strive to prevent harm and create a community that is aware of and sensitive to the issues of sexual harassment and assault, where all students and employees can thrive.
