Terms of Reference

平特五不中鈥檚 Policy against Sexual Violence (Policy) mandates the creation of a standing committee to oversee its implementation. The mandate of this committee is set out at s. 9 of the Policy, which provides:

9. This Policy鈥檚 objectives shall be pursued and monitored by a standing implementation committee that includes representation of students, academic staff, and administrative and support staff. This committee will evaluate and report on:

a. the allocation of resources for pursuing the Policy鈥檚 objectives, including provision for appropriate and accessible physical space for the OSVRSE;
b. the appointment of adequate and qualified staff within the OSVRSE with capacity to respond to, and develop awareness about, the impact that potentially intersecting factors, such as racial, religious, gender and sexual identity, may have on experiences of Sexual Violence;
c. the establishment, within the OSVRSE, of services to inform and support Survivors, especially in connection with navigating Disclosure and Reporting processes;
d. the development of a confidential monitoring framework, which includes recording the number of Disclosures and Reports, to ensure ongoing assessment of the effectiveness of the University鈥檚 responses to Sexual Violence, and to inform Senate reporting and the triennial review of this Policy;
e. the review and strengthening of existing support, education, communication, prevention, and training measures and resources, including those provided through existing orientation sessions for students, academic staff, and administrative and support staff;
f. educational strategies and initiatives, bearing in mind the University鈥檚 obligation to ensure training for all Members of the University community about Sexual Violence, its prevention, and University resources for responding to Disclosures and Reports;
g. stakeholder engagement and consultation (for example: SSMU, PGSS, MACES, MCSS, SACOMSS, 平特五不中 Equity Education Advisors, JBSCE, AGSEM, AMURE, AMUSE, MAUT, MUNACA, MUNASA, MCLIU, SEU);
h. the review, through consultation with Security Services, of University infrastructure and safety measures to maintain the physical safety of the campus premises, notably in University residences.

Accordingly, an Implementation Committee (IC) shall be struck and mandated to carry out the responsibilities set by the Policy, section 9. The IC鈥檚 central activities will include:

1. Ensuring that the Office for Sexual Violence, Response, Support & Education can carry out its mandate effectively in connection with education, survivor support, and confidential data collection about disclosures so that the University will have a robust understanding of the nature and scope of sexual violence incidents affecting University community members;
2. Assessing campus sexual violence prevention and response education initiatives;
3. Evaluating communications about the Policy and associated resources;
4. Consulting with various relevant campus services and offices to ensure that protocols and measures reflect and further the Policy鈥檚 objectives; and
5. Making recommendations to strengthen the Policy and associated Procedures or resources as the IC deems appropriate.

The IC will meet at least four times annually, beginning in Fall 2019.

Where the IC deems that revisions to the Policy or to its associated Procedures or resources are required for the Policy鈥檚 implementation, the IC shall make recommendations to the Working Group established by s. 51 of the Policy.
