  Task Force Report: Consent Education

  9/16/2021
  Damian Jones, Head of School
  As we start the school year, I want to express my gratitude and appreciation for all of the faculty, staff, students, and trustees who served on the Task Force on Sexual Misconduct this past summer. This Task Force formed last spring to review our education and policies around sexual misconduct and to develop proposals that further a safe, supportive campus environment for all students.

   

  This robust and committed group focused on the following areas:

   

  • Reviewing and enhancing training on sexual misconduct and sexual assault for all faculty, staff, and students
  • Reviewing and developing curricula on consent education for all students
  • Ensuring clarity for procedures and communications around allegations of sexual misconduct and sexual assault

   

  As part of our planning, we will be:

   

  • Scheduling new outside speakers and organizations to provide training for students, faculty, and staff on sexual assault, bystander interventions, and consent
  • Implementing curricula on consent that is grounded in community building and respecting the dignity of others
  • Discussing our revised Anti-Harassment Policy and the reporting, investigation, and follow-up processes in-depth with students

   

  As we advance this critical work, we will continue to listen to students' needs and interests in making Burke a safer and supportive school environment for all students. We will strive towards fostering a school culture that encourages all of our students, faculty, and staff to take an active role in confronting sexual misconduct and harassment with the resources, services, and support that is needed.
