First, for those who would like to make a confidential submission, you can do so by going to one of the following links:<\/p>\n<p>For English: <a href=\"http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/grqe7a3\"><u>http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/grqe7a3<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n<p>For French: <a href=\"http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/zg6ls68\"><u>http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/zg6ls68<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n<p>For those who would like to engage directly with members of the Working Group, we will be hosting a drop-in consultation next <strong>Wednesday, December 7, 2016 between 1:00 and 5:00pm<\/strong> in Founders College Senior Common Room (305 Founders College).\u00a0\u00a0 ASL interpreters will be available throughout the afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>While the Working Group is widely representative of the community, with over 20 members, half of whom represent student organizations, it is still important that as many people as possible take the chance to voice their comments, questions, and suggestions. Your recommendations and comments will help form the final draft of the policy which will be presented to the Board of Governors for approval in two weeks.\u00a0 In January, the formal release of York\u2019s new Sexual Violence Policy will be accompanied by a number of key commitments to ensure effective implementation of the policy.<\/p>\n<p>To ensure we meet community expectations shared during our consultations, a key commitment the University is making today concerns the Sexual Violence Response Office, which is currently a part of Office for Student Community Relations (OSCR). Over the next several months the University will be transitioning the Response Office to a stand alone office, with increased staff to meet the needs of our community. While the Response Office will maintain operational connections with OSCR, it will have its own location and governance structure.<\/p>\n<p>We look forward to hearing from you.<\/p>\n<p>Rob Castle, Chair<\/p>\n<p>On behalf of the Sexual Violence Policy Working Group<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To members of the York Community: The Sexual Violence Policy Working Group has continued to develop the draft Sexual Violence Policy since communicating with the York community on November 21st.\u00a0\u00a0 Throughout November, representatives of the Working Group have held direct consultations with 35 campus groups, including two public consultations \u2013 one at Keele and\u00a0 one [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3352","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
