Sexual Harassment In STEM Research: Preliminary Observations on Policies for University Grantees and Information Sharing among Selected Agencies
Sexual Harassment In STEM Research: Preliminary Observations on Policies for University Grantees and Information Sharing among Selected Agencies, Highlights of Report No. GAO-19-583T, Jun 2019
Based on preliminary information, the availability of agency staff and budget varies across the five selected agencies for efforts to address sexual harassment complaints at universities that use federal funds for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) research. While four of the five agencies received three or fewer sexual harassment complaints from individuals at grantee universities from 2015 through 2019, changes to agency grantee policies or requirements could impact the number of complaints an agency receives and the amount of resources an agency needs to address them.
