Vice President's Task Force on the Campus Climate and Violence Against Women

On December 3, 2007, Dr. John Saddlemire, Vice President for Student Affairs, extended invitations to University community members to review and investigate factors within the campus community that contribute to sexism and violence against women. The Violence Against Women Taskforce, chaired by Denielle M. Burl and Preston Britner, spent the last year identifying specific issues that currently contribute to violence against women on campus while also discussing the role of various campus departments in addressing these issues. The Final Report, made available January 2009, contains the efforts of the Task Force members’ best efforts to confront, identify, grapple with, and then address these issues both within this campus and the larger community.

Higher Education Risk Management
is the weighing of various and often competing interests. Legal and ethical norms must be taken into consideration, as well as individual and community welfare, compliance with existing policies, and the University's business needs, all of which are required to fulfill its mission as an institution of public education.
