What i think would be most effective would be finding ways to have enforce consequences already set forth by university policies, such as expulsion, termination of work, and workshops and continuing education of consent, resources, and appropriate behavior for both students and staff.

My paper aims to explore the sexual misconduct issues seen in higher education institutions, specifically in the United States and the United Kingdom. I plan to analyze this issue by conducting a case study of sexual misconduct policies and responses in different universities in the US and UK. I aim to answer the question of if higher education institutions in the United States and the United Kingdom have differed in implementing policy and culture changes to combat sexual misconduct in response to the #MeToo movement?
Outline
General discussion of the culture toward sexual misconduct in higher academic institutions before and after the #MeToo movement of 2017.
The United States’ history of misconduct in colleges and universities
Student surveys on the perception of handling SM
The United Kingdom’s history of misconduct in colleges and universities
Student surveys on the perception of handling SM
A comparison and analysis of the different policies and attitudes in each country’s response to issues of higher education SM
Devise a specific policy that would resolve this problem more effectively
The United Nation’s Declaration of Human Rights Article 23 refers to the right of employment under just and favorable conditions.
Article 26 asserts the human right of education
In 2017, as a result of sexual assault allegations against famed producer Harvey Weinstein and then American President Donald Trump, an international outcry was launched The social media movement where women globally spoke out about being survivors of sexual harassment and assault using the hashtag #MeToo. The campaign went viral and majorly raised awareness and solidarity for survivors and how common these abuses are.
In order to help remedy the epidemic in sexual assault in universities across the globe, I would recommend showcasing how this issue is an intersection of multiple human rights violations, including Articles 2, 23, and 26 of the UN Declaration of Human Rights. What I think would be most effective would be finding ways to have enforce consequences already set forth by university policies, such as expulsion, termination of work, and workshops and continuing education of consent, resources, and appropriate behavior for both students and staff.
