“As a long-time educator, I have always cared about the well-being of my students, whether they were six or fifty-six. And when I moved into academic administration I became even more concerned about the atmosphere in the classroom and on the campus that sets the tone for teaching, learning, and the way people interact. Harassment and abuse are no strangers to the academy, nor to ‘polite society’ that often finds ways to surround the academy and forgive some of its misdeeds.”

-Sharon M. Murphy
