Fwd: Speaker on Sexual Assault as a Civil Rights Issue



The Women's Studies Program, The Fresno Chapter of the California Faculty Association, and the Office of Title IX  are cosponsoring a presentation by Dr. Bernice Sandler titled "'Too Strong for a Woman': Five Words that Created Title IX" on Wednesday, November 5 from 1-2:30 in the Henry Madden Library, Room 3212. Dr. Sandler was the first person to write reports on sexual harassment on college campuses, and she played a major role in the development and passage of Title IX.

Dr. Sandler's talk promises to provide valuable insight into the history of Title IX, as well as a basis for combatting sexual harassment and violence against women at institutions of higher learning—like Fresno State. She frames her discussion by considering how sexual assault is a civil rights issue. Her talk would be enjoyed especially for those students interested in law, policy, and activism .She is a dynamic speaker.

This event is open to the community. Please spread the word!
