The problem with this, as well as the moral issues that Lilly speaks to, is the difficulty in gathering accurate data on the rate of sexual harassment or sexual assault:
(2) When something is reported to an org, over 90% of the time, the person who made the initial reports to the organization “drops off” before it can be investigated (my rate is about 60%, as I work as a third party reporter, but it’s taken me 4 − 5 years to get it that “low”)
(3) Unless EA wants to improve its reporting systems...how can you expect to get accurate data? Literally, startups (I’ve partnered with and work with) have raised tens of millions to solve this problem (underreporting of sexual harassment). As someone with many years of education, experience, and expertise, CEA not be willing to see expert or outside counsel on this, but looking inward/working with others in the EA ecosystem is short-sighted at best.
