Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

My suggestion: One of my favorite often-ignored facts is that student  
disciplinary hearings started out (during the civil rights protests era) as a 
 means 
to protect students from arbitrary expulsion. (Jacqui, email me if it  turns 
out you need the cite.) It does not sound as if "facilitated discussions"  
would meet those criteria at your school, so adopting them would mean that  
either disciplined students' due process rights were violated or  that 
students 
could never be seriously disciplined for sexual misconduct. I  think you may 
want 
to ask your school to consult its lawyers before adopting  this position!
