3 questions

For documenting sexual assault on campus, that only includes claims of sexual assault which have been confirmed through an investigation and hearing correct? As written, only actual assault must be reported, not mere allegations. Does that mean you are assuming some sort of hearing which is left up to the college to adopt?

For protecting the identites of victims (or maybe alleged victims) does that include during the hearing as entertained in the previous question? Even at the expense of a fair and impartial hearing with cross examination? I cant imagine hiding the identity of the alleged victim from the accused complies with due process.

For documenting sexual assault near a campus, does that include crimes between 2 persons unaffiliated in any way with the college? If so, why?

[Dr. MB]

In section 4.1, would this apply to everyone who is employed – even self-employed people who run a one-person business, or would this only apply to companies with a certain number of employees?

In section 3.1, when such a survey would be conducted should be specified.

For all of section 4, what would the program contain?

1. Documentation and surveying for sections 3-1 and 3-3 refer to both crime statistics and student surveys administered by the university. For 3-2, this is only for reported crimes either handled by the University PD or local PD.

2. This section was intended for publicity purposes and would not (in my intentions) impact a fair hearing.

3. I'll clarify this through amendments, but off-campus non-affiliated crime wouldn't be reported, but would be still administered to the students through an alert system, which I will also write an amendment for.

In section 4.1, would this apply to everyone who is employed – even self-employed people who run a one-person business, or would this only apply to companies with a certain number of employees?

In section 3.1, when such a survey would be conducted should be specified.

For all of section 4, what would the program contain?

1. We could limit this to a companies of a certain number of employees -- say 50?

2. How about it's due by December 1st each year?

3. We can leave those details up to whatever relevant regional agency that approves this program
