JoAnne Sweeny

Brandeis School of Law Professor JoAnne Sweeny was quoted in a story from WFPL about how Louisville government has handled claims of sexual harassment and assault made by employees.

"Sweeny of U of L said employers should use discretion to ensure the punishment fits the offense, and that overall, investigations and policies need to become more 'victim-centered.' More comprehensive training would also help supervisors handle such incidents better, she said," the story states.

Sweeny's scholarly interests include law and gender.
