Recommendations to the Title IX Ad Hoc Committee/University                    Transparency, genuine care, and education on the process—how it all works. Be transparent to both sides and give them reasoning for each step. Also educate general populace on the step by step process. Quicker response time Full-time Title IX Coordinator Cases and Appeals decided by multiple, diverse people, rather than just 1 person or subgroup (student involvement? Have people outside UP help?). Ensure no biases. o Ethical/moral bias of priests to seek forgiveness. Students also look to them to be advocates, rather than a neutral party. They shouldn’t be in the process. o Res life able to be unbiased since they have a desire for res halls to appear safe? o A supervisor’s bias to enforce and standby their employee’s decision? Consistent support and resources given to survivor throughout the process, no matter the outcome of the case Standardize/define what constitutes as intoxication vs incapacitation Better/more training for anyone serving on the conduct board for violence. Rape kits available at the HCC. Required Gen Ed class about sex education, consent, and diversity (add this to workshop classes?) Activism/student platforms should be encouraged and respected. Admin should be willing to talk with students Restorative justice models for conduct process. Accurate filing of reports; sharing what consequences look like for the university if this doesn’t happen. Guilty verdict should result in expulsion from the university (or, at least, suspension until survivor graduates). Better training for employees, including student workers like RAs, on the meaning of being non-confidential and teaching them how to bring that up before a disclosure Funding for long-term counseling at the HCC Change wording in “Life on the Bluff” to be survivor focused Better training for Res Life employees on how to handle the issue and raise awareness More non-mandatory reporters available in the halls (trained student advocates?) Better outreach to off-campus students Specifics from survivors:      Not required to be in same room as accused during process Desire for advocate or guide throughout the process for both parties Was not notified of any available resources Was not communicated with during the process and things happened without their knowledge or consent: no-contact order, hearing set up with respondent. Disclosed to someone and didn’t know they were a mandatory reporter before they did Areas for Education (should be spread to all departments to help educate our students):             Consent Sex Education Difference between university and city police and reasoning for being separate. Reasons for confidentiality for all involved parties and not forcing survivors to take certain actions More Green Dot education What resources are available Catholic views on interpersonal violence and sexual assault Get male involvement Where to find Clery reports. Address party culture Specifics of what confidential and non-confidential resources can/will do De-stigmatization of the issue—help everyone understand how they can help and how we are on the same team.
