Abstract/Description

Kennedy Union 222

When you think ECO, do you think “Ugh not them again?” Then, come talk to us! This presentation will engage participants to better understand the work of the Equity Compliance Office on campus while unpacking and demystifying stigma, cultural influences, and assumptions about sexual misconduct and bias-related incidents. Participants will have the opportunity to candidly discuss personal and cultural understandings of the Nondiscrimination and Anti-harassment Policy at UD and its impact on the campus community and their work.

Goals for Attendees

Participants will: - Unpack the influence of cultural, legal, and personal experiences on their understanding of bias and discrimination in the university setting - Discuss their assumption and perceptions of the Equity Compliance Office in hopes of gaining clarity about the work done by the office - Engage in candid conversation about myths and roadblocks they experience which influence their ability to become allies for the Equity Compliance Office
