The University of Oregon Senate’s Task Force to Address Sexual Assault sent its official recommendations to Interim President Scott Coltrane on Friday. This is the first action the group has taken in response to the university’s handling of an alleged sexual assault by three basketball players in May.

The only recommendation with a price tag for the university is to set up a $10,000 emergency fund for survivor support and sexual assault prevention. Task force co-chairs Carol Stabile and Randy Sullivan said the fund should be set up by Sept. 29 in an email to Coltrane.

The task force also recommended that the university officially adopt a good Samaritan policy — students reporting a sexual assault would not be reprimanded for violating drug or drinking policies. Although most university departments currently work this way, the task force heads say it should be written policy.

Stabile and Sullivan also recommend that syllabuses include a statement with sexual assault resources for students and that faculty receive guidelines for addressing the issue. In addition, the task force suggests that the university stop tracking the IP addresses of anyone reporting a sexual assault.

Coltrane is expected to issue a response to the recommendations this week. The task force’s recommendations will be finalized on Oct. 22 and a public discussion will be held on Nov. 5.

The senate task force was created by former University President Michael Gottfredson in response to the administration’s handling of the alleged rape of a student by three basketball players in May.
