<p dir="ltr">> 3. While I am all for diversity - I would not say that a committee lacks standing to investigate such an issue just because of its lack of diversity. Sexual harassment is condemnable - and in its various degrees, criminal, the world over, so that there are very few “cultural” justifications to it. </p>
