Even worse than NYU:

The report from human resources — recently made public at the university — quoted students as saying that they were being subjected to comments such as, “As graduate students, you should be doing these three things: research, drinking and screwing” and comments related to the female body, female students’ sensuality and weight, and crude and sexual language. Graduate students also reported being pressured by professors to “not rock the boat.”

In interviews with Inside Higher Ed, some graduate students said that the problems remain. “Unless people come forth and martyr themselves, nothing can be done,” said one, who asked to remain anonymous to protect her relationship with professors. She said that students constantly say, “I want to get my degree so I won’t say anything.”

She also said that the discrimination was not just coming from the professors, but from students as well. For instance, she said she had witnessed students rolling their eyes when a student of a different ethnicity speaks up in class because they are harder to understand than others in the class.

Robert Heck, another graduate student, said that he witnessed harassment when a professor placed his hand on that of a minority female graduate student and asked if it was true that her group was known to be sensual. “He continued stroking her arm afterwards,” Heck said.
