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

["Ingarfield, Lisa" <>]

Dear Colleagues,

 

We are working on a campus stalking policy and are using the NCVC Model Campus Stalking Policy as a beginning place. One of the concerns that came up at today’s meeting by our Title IX officer is that for stalking to be a Title IX issue, it has to be “sexually motivated.” I was wondering if any of you have come across this argument before. If so how you have responded and has it impacted the definition you provide of Stalking in your stalking policies. My initial response was that there doesn’t have to be a desire for a sexual relationship for something to be discrimination on the basis of sex.

 

Thanks so much!

 

Lisa
