An advisory committee of faculty and students is inviting input from the campus community, through a feedback form on the web, on Stanford’s policies and practices around issues of sexual violence.

An advisory committee of faculty and students is inviting input from the campus community on Stanford’s policies and practices around issues of sexual violence.

The Advisory Committee on Sexual Assault Policies and Practices was created to monitor and make recommendations on Stanford’s education, support and adjudication programs in this area. Many of those programs have expanded or been updated to further strengthen Stanford’s approach to preventing and responding to sexual violence.

…

“Our goal is to help ensure that Stanford has the most effective possible programs to prevent and respond to sexual violence, and input from the community is integral to our work,” said Pamela Karlan, professor of law and chair of the advisory committee. “We hope students and all other members of the campus community who have perspectives on these issues will accept our invitation to share them with us.”

Karlan recently became chair of the committee, taking over from Stanford Law School Dean M. Elizabeth Magill, who will continue to serve as a member of the committee.

Members of the advisory committee are Aku Ammah-Tagoe, PhD candidate in English; Karlan, the chair; Magill, dean of Stanford Law School and co-chair of the 2014-15 Provost’s Task Force; undergraduate student Claudia McKenzie, ’18; Laura Roberts, professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences; and Robert Weisberg, professor of law. The committee is staffed by Marisa McCarthy, who also staffed the 2014-15 Provost’s Task Force.
