Every member institution of the Action Collaborative has been asked to participate on one of four working groups. The four groups include:
- Prevention – Initiatives to Prevent Harassment
- Response – Responding to Harassment When It Occurs
- Remediation – Limiting the Damage Caused by Sexual Harassment
- Evaluation – Measuring Climate and Gauging Progress on Campus
UW is participating on the Prevention Group. Our representative to that group is Elizabeth Umphress, Associate Professor of Management. Professor Umphress has convened a UW advisory group of UW faculty, staff and students to assist and guide her work on the National Prevention Working Group.
The goals of the UW NASEM Advisory Group include:
- Coordinate with NASEM partners by sharing best practices related to sexual harassment
- Develop new and facilitate existing policies, programs, and initiatives to reduce sexual harassment and support survivors
- Ensure accountability and transparency about the rate of sexual harassment at UW.
