Editing Grievance Panel

The [[Grievance Panel]] is the College judicial body that handles conflicts relating to sexual harassment, sexual assault, and discrimination.

==Problems and Reforms==
The Grievance Panel is notorious for its convoluted procedures and for widespread concerns about the treatment of complainants.

Grievance Panel reform has been a perennial back-burner issue in the administration.  The most recent major attempt at reform was conducted by [[Student Senate]] in the form of an ad hoc committee chaired by [[Megan Gamble]], who had done significant research into the Grievance Panel process.  Since her graduation, the issue again languished.

Beginning in [[Winter 2008]] there has been some preliminary effort to reform the Board.  [[President Taylor]] has reportedly asked [[Dean Breitborde]] to head a task force on the issue.  A proposal has also been circulating to reconstitute the Grievance Panel on a model similar to that of the more successful [[Honor Board]], which is itself undergoing substantial reform.
