The National Science Foundation this week issued a statement calling on the colleges and universities that receive its grants to do a better job of preventing and dealing with harassment in science -- and the agency has warned that it would terminate funding to institutions that do not take required steps to prevent and deal with harassment. The statement says that the NSF "holds responsible" colleges and universities that receive its funds. As a major federal funding agency -- the primary one in engineering and many other science fields -- the foundation's statements tend to get the attention of higher education administrators.
