NCSEA SE3 Discrimination and Harassment Topic Brief

| May 2021

The SE3 Committee of NCSEA published the Discrimination and Harassment Topic Brief based on the results of the 2020 national survey. You can find the Topic Brief here along with all committee publications here.

“The satisfaction of respondents who have been harassed or discriminated against suffered, and they were more likely to consider leaving the profession. Among those who have already left, discrimination and harassment was the third most cited reason for leaving. Furthermore, it is clear from the data…that discrimination and harassment is prevalent in our profession and has a significant negative impact on our colleagues. As a profession, we must recognize this impact and work toward reducing it.”
