The Personal Harassment Committee shall consist of one faculty member elected by the Faculty, one administrative staff member appointed by the President, and one support staff member appointed by the Vice President for Administration. All members of the Committee shall serve two-year, staggered terms. A chair will be selected by and from within the Committee. In the event of a conflict of interest, a Committee member should withdraw and be replaced by the first runner-up from the election or a designated alternate. Individuals with questions about personal harassment, or who seek advice or support services, should contact the College's counselor on harassment.
All discussions are confidential.
Any current Beloit College faculty, staff or students who believe that they have been a victim of personal harassment by a current faculty or staff member may speak informally with a member of the Personal Harassment Committee. The Committee member who has been approached will offer preliminary consultation and may draw upon other support and counseling services to assist the complainant. At the complainant's request, the Committee member will seek to resolve the issue informally and in the strictest privacy. With consent of both parties, the Committee member may attempt to mediate the complaint. The Committee will keep records of informal complaints and their dispositions.
