The International Institute of Social Studies (ISS) is planning to broaden information on its website and intranet concerning confidential counsellors and the complaints procedures. The institute will also engage the services of an external party to evaluate the procedure for dealing with transgressive behaviour.<\/p>\n

Two weeks ago, around sixty students held a protest in the ISS building<\/a>. At the time, the protest focused on a student who had allegedly assaulted a fellow student. The protest, which initially began due to an individual case, grew into an organised student campaign. The campaign demands, among other things, that the institute do something to improve the handling of complaints and that people applying for the position of confidential student counsellor must be screened first. Students feel that the current system does not protect victims of transgressive behaviour from abuses of power. They also find that the faculty is \u2018protecting the predators\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\t
