University of Wisconsin System President Ray Cross says campuses must have zero-tolerance for cases of sexual abuse and harassment. The Board of Regents adopted a policy on abuse and harassment in 2016, and Cross argued at Friday’s meeting that more can and should be done. He says everyone needs to do their part in creating a culture that helps to prevent sexual assaults and harassment from happening the first place, and also to encourage and empower survivors to come forward. Cross plans to work closely with chancellors and shared governance groups to find how the UW System can build on the work that’s already been done. The push comes after data released by the UW showed 11 employees were fired or resigned since 2014 as a result of sexual misconduct complaints.
