This event is tonight at 6:30 on zoom!

Come join SARA (Sexual Assault Response Advocates) and CAT (Choice Action Team) student leaders on Wednesday, February 24th from 6:30-7:30 PM for a review and comment session on the University’s revised Title IX Policy & Procedures. This event is hosted by and for students!

In response to the new Title IX regulations that were released this summer by the United States Department of Education, Willamette’s policies and procedures have been under review by the Title IX Coordinator and Team, and they now have a revised policy that is open to review and feedback from the Willamette community until Sunday, February 28th, 2021.

SARA, CAT, and other GRAC-affiliated student leaders want to hold a space for students to ask questions about the Title IX policy and review process, offer support in filling out & submitting the policy review feedback form, and listen to concerns you may have that you would like to be passed on to the Policy Committee. We believe student voices in this process are critical, and are here to support you in making that happen!

You can find links to the zoom call on Wednesday, the new policy full text, the comments & feedback form, and more on our Linktree: https://linktr.ee/WU_TitleIX_Policy_Review
