	abstract = {Given the prevalence of sexual assault on college campuses in the U.S., universities have a\&nbsp;responsibility to eliminate hostile environments, prevent harassment, and protect students. Title\&nbsp;IX policies, as interpreted by the Department of Education{\textquoteright}s Office for Civil Rights, regulate this\&nbsp;responsibility. However, these policies simply mandate that colleges investigate and prevent\&nbsp;sexual violence and provide limited guidance on specific institutional procedures and measures.\&nbsp;Acknowledging Harvard College{\textquoteright}s insidious rape culture, this project examines Harvard{\textquoteright}s Title\&nbsp;IX policies and procedures. Through expert interviews with Title IX coordinators and interviews\&nbsp;with Harvard students, this paper outlines a set of recommendations for how Harvard can more\&nbsp;effectively eliminate a hostile campus environment, prevent sexual assault, and mitigation the\&nbsp;effects of sexual misconduct. I find that existing resources are primarily reactive rather than\&nbsp;preventative, and survivors face several barriers in attempting to navigate support measures.\&nbsp;},
