Dear Students, Faculty, and Staff,
About 10 days ago, the University community was sent an email asking interested individuals to consider service on the Sexual Misconduct Hearing Committee (SMHC). The SMHC is the University’s systemwide hearing body to consider complaints of sexual misconduct involving students, staff, and faculty in accordance with the University’s Administrative Policy on Sexual Harassment, Sexual Assault, Stalking, and Relationship Violence. The SMHC performs a critical function at the University, and we seek thoughtful, deliberative community members to hear these important matters.
As this committee is systemwide, I am asking for UMD students, staff, and faculty to please consider applying so the SMHC will have adequate representation from our campus.
Please review the SMHC Selection Process and Criteria for more information and apply by Sunday, November 1, 2020, using the SMHC Application. Questions can be directed to smhc@umn.edu.
Thank you.
Lendley C. Black
Chancellor
