Alan Tansman

Inspired by her own personal experiences, UC Berkeley alumna Natalie Cleaver launched a nonprofit, BerkeleyToo, aimed at reforming the process for campus community members to report sexual harassment.

A Title IX investigation found that UC Berkeley professor Alan Tansman had more likely than not harassed a student. His "punishment" is a two years suspension –– one of which is paid sabbatical –– before we will be able to return to campus. Allowing Tansman this privilege sends a clear message to the student body: A professor’s livelihood is more valuable than that of survivors.

Campus professor Alan Tansman has been suspended after a Title IX investigation found that he violated the university’s sexual violence and sexual harassment, or SVSH, policy between 2007 and 2009, as first reported by the San Francisco Chronicle.
