Ad-Hoc panel at 成人VR视频 to conduct campus study of sexual violence
Following the adoption of the聽Policy Against Sexual Violence,聽the Provost of 成人VR视频, Christopher Manfredi, struck an Ad Hoc Panel on April 1, 2017, to conduct an impartial and independent (from the Provost鈥檚 office) study of sexual violence in the 成人VR视频 community. The Panel consists of students, staff, and faculty from 成人VR视频, as well as an external advisor from Concordia.聽
The Ad Hoc Panel was charged with investigating the following questions:
How do members of the 成人VR视频 community perceive our campus climate, discourse and awareness in relation to sexual violence and safety?
In what contexts has sexual violence occurred at 成人VR视频?
Where survivors have disclosed or reported incidents of sexual violence to a person holding authority at 成人VR视频, or have refrained from so doing, what factors underlay their decision?
What are the experiences of individuals who have disclosed or reported incidents of sexual violence to a person holding authority at 成人VR视频 (e.g., disciplinary officer, counselor, Dean or other administrator)?
What is the University鈥檚 jurisdiction over incidents involving Members of the University community that occur off campus?
How does the Policy against Sexual Violence harmonize with other University policies and procedures and where might a lack of harmonization require policy amendment?
To conduct the study, the Ad Hoc Panel will use a combination of online surveys, interviews, and focus groups to develop a better understand of how sexual violence occurs and is addressed at 成人VR视频. The study will begin in October 2017 and end in February 2018. A final report will be written and submitted to the Provost by March 31st, 2018.\
