You may submit your questions when you register.
A Word About Columbia’s Gender-Based Misconduct and Title IX Policies
Columbia’s policies are an important part of our overall commitment to sexual respect and prevention of sexual assault, sexual harassment and other forms of gender-based misconduct. The University is committed to diligently investigating reports of misconduct, supporting students and others who experience gender-based misconduct, and responding fairly and firmly when students violate University policy. Last summer, the University revised our policies in keeping with new changes to Title IX, the federal law that prohibits sex discrimination in education. You can learn more on Columbia’s Sexual Respect website, which also includes many confidential and privacy-protecting student resources.
We hope you’ll join us at the forum to be part of this important conversation.
Sincerely,
Professor Suzanne B. Goldberg
Executive Vice President for University Life
Joseph Defraine Greenwell
Vice President for Student Affairs, University Life
Marjory D. Fisher, JD
Associate Vice President, Title IX Coordinator, University Life
