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

[Holly Rider-Milkovich <>]

Hello Colleagues:

I too would really appreciate any examples from other institutions so that we can collect a bank of actual examples to offer faculty.  SAPAC offers this template for modification for U-M instructors and shares additional resources that may be referenced as well. 

“As an instructor, one of my responsibilities is to help create a safe learning environment on our campus.  It is my goal that you feel able to share information about your experiences as a student. I will seek to keep information you share private to the greatest extent possible.  There is some information that I may need to share with the university, especially regarding sexual misconduct or information about a crime that may have occurred on U-M's campus.” 

I have attached an example created by a faculty member in our English Department from this template.

Hello All,

A professor at our university recently saw an article in The Chronicle on including language about Title IX into syllabi and is thinking about having a statement included on syllabi for his department.  The example in the article is fairly direct: "Title IX makes it clear that violence and harassment based on sex and gender is a Civil Rights offense subject to the same kinds of accountability and the same kinds of support applied to offenses against other protected categories such as race, national origin, etc. If you or someone you know has been harassed or assaulted, you can find the appropriate resources here..." We are wondering if any of your universities or professors have utilized statements like this on syllabi and what the response to such statements have been from students, administrators, and faculty. We'd also welcome examples of statements or any other insights you all might have.

Thanks!
Melanie
