COSSA fails to meet since May

By Noah Reichblum and Lindsay Ellis | October 11, 2012

The Committee on Student Safety and Accountability, a 12-member advisory group created in May to formulate short and long-term solutions to address hazing, high-risk drinking and sexual assault, has neither met since its initial meeting in the spring nor reached out to the local and national partner organizations outlined in former College President Jim Yong Kim's March 22 and May 8 press releases, according to COSSA members. The committee, co-chaired by Dean of the College Charlotte Johnson, consists of four students, four faculty members and three additional staff members, including Director of Safety and Security and College Proctor Harry Kinne. Johnson said that the committee has not met since the spring because the new academic calendar has created scheduling conflicts among members.
