"The SPCSA, in conjunction with the student, faculty, administrator and staff attendees,
recommends that the Student Body:
1. Review your organization(s): Every student organization, particularly those with
physical plants, should institute clear expectations of member behavior. The SPCSA
recommends that organizations draft or re-draft constitutional documents which set
standards of conduct that prohibit acts of interpersonal violence and detail the
organizational consequence(s) if members are found to be in violation of those
standards. The SPCSA’s guidance may be sought if needed, in addition to the
guidance of Administrators and Staff members. Upon completion send your policy to
the Committee so that it may stay informed and provide assistance to organizations in
their own policy-making processes.
2. Require “Bringing in the Bystander” Training: Institute mandatory training for all
organizational membership. To schedule group-based facilitations, contact Sexual
Assault Awareness Program (SAAP) Coordinators, Amanda Childress and Rebekah
Carrow, for more information.
3. Support the creation of a Violence Prevention and Resource Center: Lend
individual and organizational support to the fund- and awareness-raising campaign
for a new centralized Violence Prevention and Resource Center. The facility will
ideally offer health, security, and legal resources to individuals affected by violence in
the Dartmouth community, as well as facilitation spaces for programs like “Bringing
in the Bystander” and First Responder Training.
4. Contribute individual and organizational support to campus efforts addressing
violence: Have members complete and promote education programs such as the
Sexual Assault Peer Adivsors (SAPAs), Mentors Against Violence (MAV), and WISE of
the Upper Valley advocate certification, as well as facilitations conducted by MAV
and Green Team."
