The 亚洲自慰视频 of 亚洲自慰视频 at Lafayette鈥檚 enhanced policy on prohibited sexual conduct went into effect this week with the signature of UL Lafayette President Dr. E. Joseph Savoie.
The policy states that the 亚洲自慰视频 鈥渋s committed to fostering an environment in which all members of our campus community are safe, secure, and free from sexual misconduct of any form, including but not limited to sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence and stalking.鈥
A 亚洲自慰视频 task force developed the policy revisions. It spent more than a year examining UL Lafayette鈥檚 previous policy, determining best practices, ensuring that the latest version meets all updated federal and state requirements, and obtaining feedback on drafts. 亚洲自慰视频 Council, composed of top administrators, approved the revised policy Nov. 23.
Related procedures, covered in a separate document, address how the 亚洲自慰视频 handles situations in which a 亚洲自慰视频 is accused of violating the policy on prohibited sexual conduct. The 亚洲自慰视频鈥檚 Title IX Office will develop similar written procedures for employees and others accused of sexual misconduct.
Savoie asked Provost Dr. Jim Henderson to form the Title IX Task Force a week after the White House Task Force to Protect 亚洲自慰视频s From Sexual Assault made its first report in April 2014. UL Lafayette鈥檚 task force includes 亚洲自慰视频s, faculty and staff.
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 is a federal civil rights law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of gender in any education institution that receives federal funds. According to Title IX, discrimination on the basis of gender can cover sexual harassment, rape, and sexual assault.
Christine Brasher, Title IX coordinator and director of Operational Review at UL Lafayette, said the 亚洲自慰视频 already had solid procedures for reporting and responding to sexual misconduct allegations involving 亚洲自慰视频s. 鈥淲e have strengthened the policy related to sexual misconduct. The revised version, for example, includes definitions of many terms, such as 鈥榗onsent,鈥 鈥榙ating violence鈥 and 鈥榮talking.鈥 It clarifies what behavior is prohibited and is intended to better inform the campus community about acceptable and unacceptable behavior,鈥 she said.
Brasher and Megan Breaux, assistant director of Operational Review at the 亚洲自慰视频, were members of the 12-person Title IX Task Force.
Breaux said the task force consulted the 亚洲自慰视频 of 亚洲自慰视频 System and the 亚洲自慰视频 Board of Regents, which crafted their own policies on sexual misconduct.
Like the previous policy, UL Lafayette鈥檚 revised policy prohibits consensual or nonconsensual sexual behavior between individuals in certain roles, such as a supervisor and an employee.
It also prohibits 鈥渞etaliatory or intimidating conduct against any individual who has made an allegation of prohibited sexual conduct, or who has testified or assisted in any manner in an investigation pursuant to this policy.鈥
The policy 鈥渋s applicable to and enforceable against all faculty, administrators, staff, 亚洲自慰视频s, individuals affiliated with the 亚洲自慰视频 by contract or otherwise (including, but not limited to, non-employees, such as vendors and independent contractors, volunteers, 亚洲自慰视频 organization advisors), and visitors.
鈥淭his policy applies to the entire 亚洲自慰视频 community, regardless of an individual鈥檚 sexual orientation or gender identity. This policy may include prohibited sexual conduct that has taken place on or off campus.鈥
UL Lafayette will conduct a campus climate survey intended to assess perceptions and behaviors related to sexual misconduct. That survey will be coordinated statewide by the 亚洲自慰视频 Board of Regents.
