The Implementation Team Charge
The Implementation Teams will give input and feedback to the Title IX coordinator and DHR administrator as they design and plan steps to implement Cozen O鈥機onnor鈥檚 recommendations to ensure that the recommended action steps are appropriately informed by the perspectives of campus community stakeholders. After the president approves the action steps, the Implementation Team will work to ensure that implementation is consistent with agreed-upon timelines, the goals of the assessment and campus culture.
The Implementation Teams will also help develop a formal communications plan designed to keep each university community apprised of the implementation process and status. Implementation Team members shall review communications to ensure that they are clear, accessible and that they address the needs of community stakeholders. Strategic and effective communication is paramount, especially in light of the institutional mistrust expressed to Cozen O鈥機onnor by many members of our university communities. The frequency and methods of communications to the university community should be thoughtfully planned, and the substance of the communications themselves should be accessible and easily comprehensible by a wide audience.
