Brilliant

This book is a balanced, scientifically supported account of a very real problem of sexual harassment on college campuses. It has set the national standard for policies based on its accuracy and fairness. It has helped my campus understand how a professor who seemed to have a second wife could actually be abusing dozens of students and demanding sex from them. This is one instance where knowledge is power and wisdom.

TRUISM , an enlightening and helpful book in a time of need.

This book is very well written with real life situations. It can assist students, universities and hopefully educators that abuse the ivory power. It enlightened me to understand that what happened to me was not my fault because when someone masterfully manipulates individuals with the abuse of power at the mercy of vulnerable people and the organization they work for it is not nice. The world does have evil people in it, but it is not the act that is sinful. It is the lie and not owning up to the behaviors verbal and nonverbal that are the true unjustice to themselves as human beings. Overall, the book is excellent as well as other books on similar topics. I hope that future editions will be published to assist in the awareness to the fact that this does exist in Higher Education.
