Invitation To Join Work Of The Title IX Team

October 9, 2020

As you may have seen recently in The Beacon, all members of the UP community are invited to attend Title IX Advisory Committee meetings. The work of preventing and responding to sexual and gender-based harassment, misconduct, and violence and the barriers to education they create, requires our entire community and cannot be the lone work of a committee or office.

There will be one more Title IX Advisory Committee meeting (via Zoom) in October; we hope you can join us.

On October 22, 9 to 10 a.m., we will have a remote meeting on Zoom. At this meeting we will be discussing the relevance of “The Bystander Moment” in our UP community and other agenda items relevant to the work of the Title IX Office and our community.

Remote meetings can be accessed by using this link.

Please communicate your interest in attending meetings and topics you’d like the committee to address at future meetings at this link. Knowing ahead of time who is planning to attend meetings allows for efficient sharing of information in our remote format.

We look forward to hearing from you and discussing these important topics with our community.

If you have any questions or need any accommodations to fully participate, please contact Sarah Meiser, deputy Title IX coordinator for compliance, at meisers@up.edu.

He also serves as a committee member for Ph.D. Comprehensive  Examination with the Graduate Theological Union (GTU)/Department of Historical and Cultural Studies of Religion, beginning April 1, 2021.
