The College of Arts and Sciences has officially adopted the Policy and Guidelines for Partner Accommodations, an action establishing best practices for the College regarding partner hiring and accommodation. During the Fall Address, Dean Olson reported on the status of the policy—which was then in draft form—and invited suggestions and comments. Since then, the policy has been reviewed by several College bodies. “After addressing concerns and suggestions that derived from the input process in the draft policy, we asked the Council of Chairs and the College Council for their formal endorsement of the policy and both bodies unanimously endorsed it,” said Dean Olson. The Policy and Guidelines for Partner Accommodations is just one of the 24 recommendations that the College committed to implementing after the Implementation Committee developed concrete actions that addressed issues raised by the Underrpresented Groups Task Force. “The College Council was pleased to receive the Partner Accommodations Policy from the College and we unanimously endorsed it,” said Steve Hunt, Associate Professor of Communication and College Council Chair. “This is not the end of this movement, but is does represent a real step forward, and I am glad that the College is taking the lead.”
