SUMMARY:Student Conduct Task Force Recommendations Information Session
DESCRIPTION:The Washington State University Student Conduct Process Task Force has submitted 32 recommendations designed to make the university’s student conduct process reflect best practices nationally. \nThe recommendations are part of the report that the task force — comprised of 17 WSU faculty\, staff\, students and alumni — recently wrote after finishing a year-long\, comprehensive review of the current student conduct process. The report was submitted Jan. 22 to WSU President Kirk Schulz. \nThe recommendations address a variety of topics\, ranging from improving the ways in which students are informed and educated about the conduct process to revising the composition of the conduct board and providing new\, in-depth training to board members. \n“The task force carefully considered the input received from all areas of the university community\,” said Nancy Youlden\, task force co-chair and vice chancellor for student affairs and enrollment\, WSU Vancouver. “We gained valuable insights from each step of the process. We believe these recommendations provide a solid foundation upon which to build a student conduct system that is among the best in the nation.” \nMajor recommendations \nThe report’s recommendations are grouped by six themes: \n\nStudent notifications.\nConduct and appeals board structure and member training.\nConduct process.\nReview of policies.\nEducational outreach to campus community.\nAssessment/evaluation strategies.\n\nMajor recommendations include: \n\nEnsure students are fully informed of their rights at the beginning of a conduct case and provide them with resources and access to university advisors and legal resources.\nImplement mandatory training for conduct board members in areas such as cultural competency and implicit bias\, conflict of interest\, and sexual assault and gender-based violence.\nImplement term limits for conduct board members.\nProvide alternative dispute resolution when it may be a suitable avenue to resolve a matter.\nPublish sanctioning guidelines that explain in plain language the types of sanctions students may face for a particular violation of community standards and the factors used to determine sanctions.\n\nThe report notes that the task force did not reach a unanimous decision on all of its recommendations. Dissenting opinions addressing the group accountability of student organizations and representation during brief adjudication proceedings are also included in the document. \nTask force members studied best-in-class conduct processes of other universities\, reviewed current research in the field\, and examined data about past WSU conduct cases. Members also reviewed more than 300 comments submitted by the WSU community and commissioned an online survey to gather additional input. \n“I appreciate the task force’s comprehensive review and the effort to ensure as many voices as possible were heard and incorporated throughout the process\,” said WSU President Kirk Schulz. \nRecommendations to be discussed at information sessions statewide \nThe task force’s recommendations will be discussed with the WSU community during a series of public information sessions held at campuses statewide and online Feb. 14-19: \nWednesday\, Feb. 14 \n\nWSU Pullman (Livestream: details to come will be posted at https://president.wsu.edu/student-conduct-process)\, 11 a.m.-noon\, CUB Jr. Ballroom\nWSU Tri Cities\, 4-5 p.m.\, East 266 (Auditorium)\n\nThursday\, Feb. 15 \n\nWSU Everett\, 2-3 p.m.\, Room 358\nWSU Downtown Seattle\, 6:30-7:30 p.m.\, 901 5th Ave\, Suite 2900\n\nFriday\, Feb. 16 \n\nWSU Vancouver\, 10-11 a.m.\, Firstenburg Student Commons 104\nWSU Spokane\, 3:30-4:30 p.m.\, Spokane Academic Center 341\n\nMonday\, Feb. 19 \n\nWSU Global Campus\, 5-6 p.m.\, Livestream. (Details to come; see https://president.wsu.edu/student-conduct-process/)\,\n\nNew conduct rules expected to be in place by fall semester \nAfter an administrative review\, Schulz will determine which of the recommendations to adopt. The WSU division of the state Office of the Attorney General will draft revisions to the Washington Administrative Code that governs student conduct based on the recommendations and administrative review. \nA formal hearing to invite public comment on the revised Washington Administrative Code will take place later in the spring. The University’s Board of Regents must approve adoption of revised rules\, which are expected to be in place by the fall 2018 semester. \nRegular updates about the next steps in revising the conduct progress will be published at https://president.wsu.edu/student-conduct-process/. \nJoin the live\, online Student Conduct Information Session

SUMMARY:One Billion Rising Zumba Dance Class
DESCRIPTION:Join the global movement to stop violence against women. One Billion Rising is a dance event celebrated around the world that raises awareness to end violence against women and girls.  You are invited to join WSU University Recreation’s One Billion Rising Dance via livestream at 6 p.m. on February 14 as we rise\, release\, and dance\, in a one-hour long free Zumba class.  \nOne Billion Rising began on Valentine’s Day 2012 as a call to action based on the staggering statistic that one in three women on the planet will be beaten or raped during her lifetime. With the world population at seven billion\, this adds up to more than one billion women and girls. Now\, every February\, women rise in hundreds of countries across the world to show local communities and the world what one billion looks like and to shine a light on the rampant injustice that survivors most often face. Women rise through dance to express joy in the community and to celebrate the fact that they have not been defeated by the violence. \nPlease note that this event will only be livestreamed and will not be available for later viewing. \nRegister for the free livestream using the below form.
