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

New York State also passed that law for any site that receives state funding.
The problem I see repeatedly is, of course, that there is no quality control 
about the information provided to employees.
The City University of New York just passed a similar DV/SA/stalking policy 
for students which is great, but again, there is no standardization from 
campus to campus ensuring adequate implementation.
But it's a start.

This is the same minimizing language the police and campus administrators 
used over and over after the massacre at Virginia Tech. "We thought it was 
just a domestic" so we didn't bother to warn anyone or act to protect the 
campus.

The information that this was a DV killing puts MORE, not less of an onus on 
the university to prevent violence on campus. DV related killings are far 
more preventable than random ones.

Ontario recently passed Bill 168 which is an amendment to workplace safety 
law requiring employers to educate about DV (among other things) as part of 
workplace safety requirements. It creates a legal responsibility for 
employers to educate and intervene.

Interesting subtle victim blaming here:

dispelling fears that a random killer had come to campus.

Seems to say that domestic violence victims don’t deserve as much attention 
or empathy as random violence victims.
