These documents are submitted by the Faculty Subcommittee of the Sexual Assault Task Force. They propose an amendment to the University Senate bylaws to create a university-wide grievance committee to address cases of alleged EO violations by faculty. The document includes the text of the amendment itself, the committee's rationale for this recommendation, and the policies that would govern the work of the committee. Earlier versions of these materials were circulated to the Senate in November 2018. The feedback received was incorporated into this final version.
Please forward any comments to the chair of the subcommittee, Prof. Sally Kenney at skenney@tulane.edu.
