“With U.S. Approval, Montana Sets Sex Assault Policy”
“The U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Education
Department's Office for Civil Rights have approved the University of Montana's
new sexual assault policy, cementing a resolution agreement that the federal government said would
make Montana's procedures a "blueprint" for colleges nationwide.
While some student activists and victims' rights advocates have lauded the
terms of the settlement, which is more extensive than previous federal
mandates, free speech organizations have expressed concern that Montana's policy is overbroad and
violates the First Amendment. Whereas Montana's previous policy required an
action to be "objectively offensive" to be considered harassment, OCR
said "sexual harassment should be more broadly defined as 'any unwelcome
conduct of a sexual nature,' " including "verbal conduct."”
“The new policy also requires all faculty to participate in a
tutorial on sexual assault and campus regulations, and states that those who
refuse will be reported to the Justice Department. Some faculty members have
questioned Montana President Royce Engstrom about the provision, The Missoulian reported”.

“4 Finalists to Lead City College of San Francisco”
“Arguably one of
the most challenging openings among college presidencies today is the
chancellor's job at City College of San Francisco, which faces a potential loss
of accreditation, severe financial difficulties and tensions between the
administration and faculty and student groups. Robert Agrella, a
state-appointed special trustee, has named four finalists, The
San Francisco Chronicle reported. The finalists are Terry Calaway,
former president of Johnson County Community College, in Kansas; Stephen M.
Curtis, former president of the Community College of Philadelphia; Cathy
Perry-Jones, vice president for administration at the American Association of
State Colleges and Universities; and Arthur Q. Tyler, former president of
Sacramento City College”.
