帕勒姆校长的信息:推动科罗拉多州立大学的第九条和DHR进程向前发展

2023年7月17日

亲爱的校园社区:

My administration is committed to providing a wholesome environment where each member of the Toro family has their humanity affirmed and is free from instances of 骚扰, 报复, 和歧视. These characteristics are fundamental to our culture of care and our institutional values.

今天, 科森·奥康纳律师事务所发布了正规澳门平台十大赌博第九条和歧视的报告, 骚扰, 和报复(DHR)项目. This assessment was initiated by the Chancellor’s Office and Board of Trustees in 2022, after allegations that reports of misconduct were improperly handled in years past. You may also have seen media coverage of a pending report on this same topic from the California State Auditor, 定于本周晚些时候发布. I write to you today to share the steps that 基督教社会联盟DH has taken in anticipation of these reports and their findings, 以及学校未来将如何解决这个问题.

The Cozen O’Connor team’s review indicates that the 基督教社会联盟 engaged in inconsistent practices across the 23-campus system when addressing complaints of DHR or 第九条 violations. 该报告包括解决这些缺点的建议. 例如, it calls on the Chancellor’s Office to play a larger role in managing the tracking and adjudication of such complaints, 更好的文档和记录管理, and the establishment of a prevention and education oversight committee to coordinate and align programming across campus. 完整的报告可以在网上找到 基社盟的变革承诺.

While the report focuses on the system at large, it also includes findings about individual campuses. Please know that I take these recommendations not simply as a critique but as valuable feedback that will allow us as a campus community to close the gap between our aspirational selves that reflect the full measure of our values, and our real selves that are now being challenged with data that indicates we are falling short. 在基督教社会联盟DH, Cozen O’Connor found a lack of awareness and visibility of the 公平与包容办公室, 缺乏战略性和协调的预防和教育计划, and a lack of a formal process and protocol for responding to conduct issues that are troublesome or disruptive, 但没有达到违反非歧视政策的门槛.

基督教社会联盟DH已经在去年采取了一些措施来解决这些发现. 这些包括:

  • The establishment of the Division of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Justice and the hiring of Dr. Bobbie Porter to lead it; and elevating what was proposed as an AVP position to a full vice president and member of the 总统’s Executive Cabinet
  • 布莱尔·迈尔斯被任命为公平与包容办公室的执行主任
  • Nallely Lopez被聘为基督教社会联盟DH新的第九条协调员

另外, the 公平与包容办公室 has already begun intentional outreach and education by creating a dynamic social media account, 于五月九日在校园内举办“自我护理展”, and providing over 20 presentations and trainings to campus constituencies since January 2023. 事实上, OEI将参加明天的托罗星期二节目, 介绍所有新生(一年级, 转移, 和毕业)到各种校园资源. The report also made several recommendations related to the OEI website — many of which have already been made.

基督教社会联盟DH成立了一个执行委员会, 由学生组成, 教师, 以及员工代表, charged with overseeing the institutional review of the Cozen report that was released today and ensuring proper steps are taken to enact the report’s recommendations that are consistent with my expectations as your president. The committee began meeting in the spring to lay the groundwork for not only responding to the report itself, but working together to ensure the campus environment remains one that is safe and welcoming to all who work and learn here.

你将听到更多来自博士. Porter’s team in the coming weeks and months about the committee’s work and opportunities for you to participate in that process. 基督教社会联盟DH will also work in partnership with the 基督教社会联盟 Chancellor’s Office in developing and implementing policies and practices that align with the systemwide reforms recommended by the reports from Cozen O’Connor and the California State Auditor. The process of working through the entire 23-campus system may take longer than many of us would like, but I assure you it is crucial not only that our university undertake the necessary changes to address these significant issues, but that we also work together to ensure the entire system’s response to DHR and 第九条 complaints is deliberate and sound. 像这样, 创造没有歧视的环境, 骚扰, 和报复, 它肯定了每个人的人性, is not simply the job of the 公平与包容办公室 or one individual on our campus. 而, each of us must be committed to doing our part to ensure that our beloved DH campus exudes the social ambiance and culture of care we strive to manifest on a daily basis.

 

真诚地,

托马斯. Parham Ph值.D.

总统
