Dear Members of the Hamilton Community,

In December, I convened a Sexual Misconduct Working Group and asked it to review the College's sexual misconduct policies and practices. The working group met with numerous groups and individuals on campus. Although concluding that our current policy is in most respects "comprehensive and consistent with current law and best practices," the working group has made a number of valuable recommendations. Its report is available online.

As noted in the working group's report, some recommendations will require further study, while others can be implemented fairly quickly. I will be working with the dean of students, the Title IX coordinator and others to move forward as quickly and thoughtfully as we can.

Sincerely,

David
