For the past eight months, a team of university officials has worked with many segments of the university community to develop a proposed approach for responding to allegation of sexual misconduct among students.
Now that team has a draft policy that it is taking back to the community in a series of forums. The goal is to have a new process in place by the end of the 2012-13 academic year.
There are two faculty-staff sessions. The first is from 9 a.m.-noon in the Boulevard Room of Pierpont Commons on North Campus. This session will start with a short informational presentation at 9 a.m., followed by discussion and an informal open house from 10:30 a.m.-noon. The second is from 2-5 p.m. in the Pond Room of the Michigan Union. This session flips the previous format with the informal open house scheduled 2-3:30 p.m. The short informational presentation is set for 3:30 p.m. with discussion to follow.
