Sexual and Interpersonal Misconduct Policy Revisions
The CCSRM provided feedback to the Civil Rights & Title IX Coordinator regarding revisions to the College's Sexual and Interpersonal Misconduct Policy that were necessary to comply with state Senate Bill 523. Among the changes were: revisions to the gender-based harassment and gender-based discrimination definitions to comply with SB 523; clarifying language regarding how to request a delay or extension of time in a formal process; addition of language regarding what happens when an accused party withdraws or resigns prior to the completion of a formal process; and simplifying the procedure for objecting to cross-examination questions during a formal hearing. The Committee will continue to participate in future revisions of the policy, including in response to .

Ongoing Conversations Regarding Safety on Campus
Throughout the academic year, the CCSRM had multiple discussions regarding safety on campus. In response to a number of reports of a “peeping tom” during the fall and spring semesters, the CCSRM discussed response options and how to have a proactive approach to keeping the community informed when similar situations arise. The committee discussed how to increase awareness of these safety concerns and our shared safety responsibilities as a community, including the distribution of written materials in residence halls and adding a Campus Safety presentation to the First Year Orientation schedule. 

Restorative Practices
The CCSRM reviewed current restorative options to harm available through the Sexual and Interpersonal Misconduct Policy and considered whether creating additional informal or confidential opportunities to respond to harm in a restorative way are feasible and appropriate. The CCSRM will continue these conversations during the next academic year.

Committee Recommendations

• Increase training and education outreach efforts for groups including Greek life organizations, offices that employ students, and registered student organizations;
