Students, faculty, and staff gathered at Mather Hall for a Common Hour panel to discuss the revised Policy Statement on Discrimination, General Harassment and Abuse, Sexual Harassment, and Sexual Misconduct, in the Student Handbook.  The language was strengthened to make clear that the College, acting within its legal rights, “will impose sanctions, up to and including expulsion from the College” for those found to have violated the College’s Harassment Policies.  In addition, students discussed ways in which the College can proactively limit and prevent these violations from occurring.  Chaplain Allison Read, former co-chair of Campus Climate, is leading a subcommittee to organize our campus response to incidents, which will include guidelines for how Trinity communicates when offenses occur.  Please contact her at allison.read@trincoll.edu with ideas or concerns you wish to share with the subcommittee.
