Dear Campus Community:

The UO Senate Committee on Sexual and Gender Based Violence has been charged with revising UO’s policy "Conflicts of Interest and Abuses of Power: Sexual, Physically Intimate, or Romantic Relationships with Students”. This policy revision addresses consensual sexual, physically intimate, or romantic relationships between any employee and student, where the employee has power or authority over the student. This policy is meant to foster a learning environment characterized by professional behavior and fair and impartial treatment.

The current draft of the policy revision can be found here<https://cpb-us-e1.wpmucdn.com/blogs.uoregon.edu/dist/9/13250/files/2018/11/CSGBV-Policy-11.03.18-ib-18n88i0.pdf>.

The purpose of this email is tell you about opportunities for feedback on the new draft policy, which will then be revised by the CGSBV, and brought to the Senate for a vote.

(For your reference, you can find the old policy, in in effect until Jan 31 2019, at https://policies.uoregon.edu/conflicts-interest-and-abuses-power-sexual-or-romantic-relationships-students)
