Government Executive: The man overseeing U.S. national parks promised this week to reform the way his employees report sexual harassment, saying his agency would become a model for the rest of government after being plagued by years of alleged misconduct.
National Park Service Director Jonathan Jarvis announced his agency is creating a hotline for employees to report sexual harassment. The announcement came as House lawmakers sent a letter to Jarvis requesting more information on NPS’ problems with harassment claims dating back to 1999. The agency came under fire this year after the Interior Department’s inspector general found pervasive and lurid examples of “discrimination, retaliation and a sexually hostile work environment” at the Grand Canyon National Park’s River District.
