Temple University President Neil D. Theobald today announced that the Presidential Committee on Campus Sexual Misconduct, which he appointed in fall 2014, has completed its tasks and that his office is already implementing many of the recommendations.
When Theobald convened the committee in September 2014, he outlined its threefold charge: to conduct a universitywide climate survey to better understand students’ perceptions of sexual misconduct and the resources that Temple offers; to review current policies and procedures; and to benchmark Temple against best practices identified in academic research and at other institutions.
“I extend my sincere appreciation to the committee members for their fine work and to the Temple students who participated in the committee’s climate survey,” Theobald said. “The multidisciplinary insight from the committee and the perspectives of our students were indispensable in helping us understand these complex issues and how we can best serve our students.”
In a memo to the campus community released today, the president said that one of the primary needs the committee identified is better education, awareness, and accessibility of sexual misconduct resources offered by Temple and other agencies, as well as of the university policies that govern issues related to sexual misconduct.
