Title IX candidate calls for system balance

'Howard Kallem believes that UNC must build a response system for sexual harassment charges.

Kallem, a candidate for the University’s Title IX position and the chief regional attorney for the Office for Civil Rights in the U.S. Department of Education, spoke at a public forum Friday about his platform for the position.

“I think it’s important to have a procedure in place to give the accused the opportunity to state their case,” Kallem said.

A forum with a third candidate was planned to be held this Wednesday, but it was cancelled after the candidate withdrew.

Kallem said it is essential to maintain neutrality when investigating any case, and no judgment should be made until the truth is revealed.'
