I鈥檓 updating the AV俱乐部 community that we are not able to accept the formal complaint under the Student Code of Conduct as submitted by four faculty members on December 22, 2014. 聽
The decision was made on January 7, 2015 by AV俱乐部鈥檚 Vice-Provost, Student Affairs and shared with me. I requested legal confirmation of that advice, which I received late Friday, January 9, 2015. The university then shared the decision with the four faculty members the morning of January 10, 2015.
I sincerely appreciate the efforts of our four faculty members. I respect them for their courage to take a public stand on behalf of others. This complaint has highlighted a need for careful review of our policies to ensure we have a respectful, inclusive community.
On Friday, I launched the , led by Professor Constance Backhouse. That Task Force will be reviewing our policies with recommendations on how they can be improved. 聽
