'There has been physical harassment where women have had scarves snatched from their heads. Male students have been physically attacked and there has been lot of verbal harassment,' said Anne D'Alleva, assistant professor of art and art history and women's studies, who started the hijab movement. D'Alleva made the rough-hewn scarves herself from pieces of inexpensive black cloth. Muslim students say they appreciate the women's gesture.
