Mason announced the campaign in a mass e-mail to the university.

In the e-mail, Mason said sexual harassment and sexual assault have been a major concern on campus and that neither will be tolerated at the university.

“As a university, we are committed to the highest standards of intellectual pursuit, and our standards for respect for others must be equally high,” Mason said. “To help communicate this message, we are launching a campaign to promote inclusion, social justice and human civility across our campus.”

Mason didn’t offer details of the campaign in her e-mail.

The announcement follows the case of a professor accused of bribery for allegedly offering higher grades to students in exchange for sexual favors.

Arthur Miller was placed on paid administrative leave after his arrest earlier this month. He was reported missing last week and authorities said they believe a body found in an Iowa City park over the weekend may be his. An autopsy was expected on Tuesday to confirm the body’s identity.

The university also is dealing with the case of two former football players accused of sexually assaulting a student last fall.

Cedric Everson and Abe Satterfield have been charged with second-degree sexual abuse. Satterfield faces an additional charge of third-degree sexual abuse. The men have pleaded not guilty and are scheduled to go on trial Nov. 3.

The mother of the alleged victim criticized the university’s handling of the case and Mason came under fire after the Iowa Board of Regents learned she had not provided copies of letters from the mother and other documents during its investigation.

“Regarding the specific issues of sexual harassment and sexual assault, no doubt new policies and procedures will be coming our way, and I thank you in advance for keeping apprised of them,” Mason said in her e-mail. “Please do all you can to help us maintain and build the most respectful campus imaginable.”
