The inaugural Community Safety Accountability Committee, created in response to student concerns about local, national, and global policing, reviews and makes recommendations on all college practices related to safety and wellness. More specifically, the committee aims to develop extensive on-boarding processes; utilize results from the Liberal Arts Colleges Racial Equity Leadership Alliance Campus Climate and Healthy Minds surveys to inform recommendations regarding overall campus climate and resources related to policing equity, mental health and well-being, and sexual violence prevention; assess and approve Campus Safety trainings with a particular focus on trauma-informed care, antiracism, and mental health; participate in Campus Resource Officer hires; oversee the formation of a Public Safety Think Tank; communicate regularly with the local community; monitor and identify patterns in fire and safety reports, bias incidence logs, and other relevant documentation; and address complaints regarding inequity or discrimination.
