UGS hears resolution calling for University-led sexual violence prevention

The Undergraduate Senate (UGS) introduced a resolution calling on Stanford to take greater responsibility for sexual violence prevention, along with proposals addressing bike safety and communication between student organizations and student government at its Wednesday night meeting. Introduced by UGS Co-Chair Laila Ali ’28, the resolution calls for a permanent, adequately funded and professionally staffed University office dedicated to sexual violence prevention education. The proposed office would be separate from the Title IX & Title VI Office’s investigative and compliance responsibilities. “Students should not have to be putting on this programming that should be institutionally connected and institutionally supported,” said Ali. “We’re calling for a permanent home.” The resolution follows student concerns about changes to Stanford’s sexual violence prevention programming and survivor support.
