Changes at BYU after Advisory Council's study on sexual assault completed
https://news.byu.edu/KJWletter

Today we are announcing that the Advisory Council on Campus Response to Sexual Assault has completed its study and that the President’s Council has agreed with all the recommendations in the Advisory Council’s report.
...
After reviewing the report and recommendations, the President’s Council has determined to accept all of the 23 recommendations. There are several that we will begin to implement immediately, including the following:

- Create a new, full-time Title IX coordinator position to replace the existing part-time Title IX coordinator position.
- Create a victim advocate / confidential advisor position.
- Create a new, physical space to house the Title IX Office in a location separate from the Honor Code Office.
- Ensure that, unless the health or safety of others is at risk, the Title IX Office does not share information with the Honor Code Office about the complainant without the complainant’s consent.
- Adopt an amnesty clause.


Because the recommendation regarding amnesty involves a change in policy, the exact contents of this clause need to be reviewed by the Student, Faculty and Administrative Advisory Councils before it becomes official policy. In the meantime, we will operate under the amnesty guidelines recommended in the report.

So students will not be kicked out of school if they report that they've been sexually assaulted any more? Welcome to the future BYU...07-coffee3

Lots of positive changes to put some distance between the honor code folks and the title IX folks--so data doesn't get shared against the student's will and victims have less apprehension about reporting. And amnesty is a topic that was a bit controversial--even among change advocates, but is one of the recommendations that was accepted. All good stuff in my book.
