There have been some questions about which employees are considered “responsible employees” or “mandatory reporters” with regard to sexual misconduct under Title IX. Please refer to the materials in the orange folder that you should have received at the beginning of the year.
In that packet is a sheet titled “Employee Responsibilities Regarding Sexual Misconduct Response.” The first paragraph notes that “All staff and faculty are required to promptly report to the Title IX Coordinator (or Deputy Coordinators) information they have about possible sexual harassment or sexual misconduct at George Fox University, including but not limited to sexual assault, domestic or dating violence, and stalking. The only exception for mandatory reporting is the Spiritual Life Office and the Health & Counseling Center.”
Please contact the Title IX Coordinator (Brad Lau) or Deputy Coordinators (Lisa Burton, Elise Trask, Laura Hartley, Rebecca Hernandez, Jen Macnab or Mark Pothoff) if you have questions.
The lost and found is again bulging, and all items not reunited with their owners by 2 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 16, will be donated to charitable causes on Monday, Dec. 19.
Please stop by the security office during office hours to look for your lost items! If you have found items and have yet to turn them in to security, please do that at your earliest convenience.
Thanks!
