Indiana State University (IN): In November 2012, OCR resolved a complaint against Indiana State University after a student alleged that the university was aware of and failed to respond to discrimination on the basis of national origin and sex when a professor subjected her to inappropriate sexual comments. According to the complainant, the professor’s behavior included unwelcome invitations for her to sleep at his house and unwanted touching on two separate occasions. Under the terms of the resolution agreement, the university agreed to issue a public statement emphasizing that the university does not tolerate harassment on the basis of race, national origin, and sex and to revise its policies and procedures around race- and sex-based harassment.
