[Mueller, Milton L]

OK, so strike the word “sexual” – do you agree with my proposed change?

\That statement  needs to be expanded and put at the beginning of the paragraph it is in. My suggestion:

“The policy as drafted contains a major oversight, in that it implies that certain kinds of sexual behavior are not allowed per se. It completely overlooks the issue of whether the parties involved in hugging, touching, etc. are willing or consenting to the activity. The policy must make it clear that consensual activities are not covered by this policy.”

          Hugging, touching, etc are not necessarily sexual, and the word sexual would be inappropriate (the issue is whether they are by mutual consent, not whether they are sexual or not).


It makes more sense to put the business about “affirmative consent” _after_ that statement, as it clarifies what we mean by consent.

I would not endorse this statement unless these changes are made.

Please read this public comment on  anti-harassment policy. Corinne was the penholder, NCUC members have had the chance to comment until today and Corinne has resolved their comments.

Please read, and decide on endorsing it. The deadline for submitting it is 12 January I think, we should decide before 12th Jan. As soon as we endorse I will submit it acknowledging Corinne as the penholder.

Here is the link to the google doc.https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YeZ_zCbv2RbLA5ypUnWmwNpTte8lyUOuSzlvToXHLrQ/edit





Thanks
