Sorry for being late with these comments but I’ve been busy and haven’t 
had time to read these until today.

I think Corinne’s draft is ok but it does not prominently deal with a 
major objection that was raised during the constituency’s discussion, 
namely the issue of whether the behavior is consensual.

What is in the draft now is at the end of the paragraph

“Similarly, consensual activities should not be covered by this policy.”

That statement  needs to be expanded and put at the beginning of the 
paragraph it is in. My suggestion:

“The policy as drafted contains a major oversight, in that it implies 
that certain kinds of behavior are not allowed per se. It completely 
overlooks the issue of whether the parties involved in hugging, 
touching, etc. are willing or consenting to the activity. The policy 
must make it clear that consensual activities are not covered by this 
policy.”

It makes more sense to put the business about “affirmative consent” 
_/after/_ that statement, as it clarifies what we mean by consent.

Please read this public comment on  anti-harassment policy. Corinne was 
the penholder, NCUC members have had the chance to comment until today 
and Corinne has resolved their comments.

Please read, and decide on endorsing it. The deadline for submitting it 
is 12 January I think, we should decide before 12th Jan. As soon as we 
endorse I will submit it acknowledging Corinne as the penholder.

Here is the link to the google 
doc.https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YeZ_zCbv2RbLA5ypUnWmwNpTte8lyUOuSzlvToXHLrQ/edit

Thanks

Farzaneh
