What We Do

• We receive flags and contact (call-in) the department(s) or individual(s) responsible for the practice or policy to discuss and find a solution.
• We work with departments and individuals, not as an authoritative body.
• We make recommendations based on best practices.
• We create opportunities for the department(s) or individual(s) to meet with some students for clarity, if necessary.
• We work with Common Council and DCA to amend policy, where necessary.
• We share the final resolution on this website (see the table below) to celebrate the progress of this campaign

What We Don't Do

• We do not call-out the department(s) or individual(s) in public.
• We do not sanction department(s) or individual(s).
• We do not change what we do not know or do not understand.

Process Description

• Once a policy or practice is flagged (submitted), the committee discusses it at the next meeting. 
• The committee determines the departments and/or individuals who need to be "called-in".
• An official email is drafted and sent to the departments and/or individuals (collaborating office) to notify them of the flagged policy or practice.
  
• A meeting is set up with the collaborating office to discuss and find solutions.
  
• The reports section of this site is updated as we work together towards a resolution. 
  
• The collaborating office is contacted six weeks after the initial meeting with the committee.
  
• More meetings are organized with other stakeholders, and with the collaborating office, as needed.
• Once a final resolution is reached, the person who made the complaint is informed and the status on the website is changed to "Resolved."
  
• All collaborating offices will be asked to submit a year-end status report by June 30th.
