Sexual harassment report recommends changes at USC school

A report authored this month by students, faculty, and staff in USC's School of Social Work makes seven major recommendations to change the environment that's led to sexual harassment at the school. Faculty and students say the recommendations could help USC as a whole make similar changes.
