"Sexual harassment is an important issue which we can, and hopefully will, deal with successfully as a maturing society. Works such as Michele Paludi's Sexual Harassment on College Campuses make a significant contribution to the understanding of the problem and the possible avenues of resolution. Without the willingness of people such as Dr. Paludi to concentrate their focus and effort on the methodology and systems necessary to resolve specific sexual harassment instances, the collective understanding and resolution of the problem will continue to evade us." -- From the Foreword by Stephen Arlington, Practicing Attorney
"The mistreatment of women in our society is, thankfully, 'a cause whose time has come.' Thanks to people like Michele Paludi, we are becoming informed and beginning to take long-needed remedial action!" -- From the Foreword by Reverend Richard Campbell, United Methodist Church
"Understanding the phenomenon and how it operates is the first, vital step in solving the sexual harassment problem in academia. Putting together policies and procedures for rooting it out is the second. Written by those who are well respected in academia, this book is part of a much-needed effort from within the institutions of learning to get those steps taken. As Sexual Harassment on College Campuses makes abundantly clear, the problem belongs to us all. The solution, as is also very clear, will come only with a universal commitment to stop the abuse of power and trust in our own learning community. No one can sit back and claim that the responsibility belongs to another. It belongs to everyone who claims a role in the academic world." -- From the Foreword by Anne Levy, Michigan State University
