"The clock has run out on sexual assault, harassment and inequality in the workplace. It's time to do something about it." This is the rallying cry of the organisation Time's Up. In a similar vein last year over a dozen students, staff and former employees reported their experiences of sexual harassment by an architecture professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zürich) to the Equal Opportunities Office. Following an internal investigation, the professor in question has been cleared of the allegation of sexual harassment but was found to be in breach of ETH Zurich’s Compliance Guide. He has decided to leave ETH Zürich. We are fundraising to cover the outstanding and ongoing costs for external legal support for the affected persons. We want to make sure that they are respected and that their voices are heard and taken seriously. We also want ETH to improve their internal processes in dealing with such situations. We aim to raise 20'000 CHF and to use the funds as follows: ◦ Payment for witnesses remaining legal costs from the internal disciplinary inquiry. (The costs were only partly covered by the ETH) ◦ A formal legal request that the parties affected have full disclosure of the case files, including the investigation reports and findings ◦ An information and education campaign for the improvement of the ETH internal processes in dealing with abuse of power and similar work-place conflicts Donors will receive a detailed financial report and any funds exceeding the amount of CHF 20,000 will be used to support our campaign.

Charles A Birnbaum is sad that landscape architecture is “like wallflowers at the prom” and adds: “The great landscape architect Laurie Olin has likened the profession to being "the good wife" — supportive and working quietly/diligently behind the scenes.” You guessed it! The piece is #ALLMALE [LINK]
