A priority for NISG for numerous years has been reducing dating violence on our campus. Last year, NISG proposed the we adopt the Green Dot bystander intervention program and offered to fund its first year on campus. President Nook approved the proposal and the Green Dot initiative has begun implementation during this year. Isabella Perksen, who is leading the Green Dot initiative for the Office of Compliance and Equity Management and would like to make a presentation to the Faculty Senate. It is her hope that senators will be advocates for the Green Dot program and will volunteer to take the 90-minute bystander intervention training when it is offered.

Therefore, be it resolved that the University Faculty Senate has consulted with the Green Dot initiative of the Office of Compliance and Equity Management.
