In May 2016, BYU President Kevin J Worthen organized the Advisory Council on Campus Response to Sexual Assault in order to identify changes that will help BYU work toward the elimination of sexual assault on campus and determine how to better handle the reporting process for victims of sexual assault.
The aim of the Title IX study is to ensure an environment at BYU in which students can be edified, secure, and safe.
Sexual misconduct (which includes sexual assault, stalking, sexual harassment and dating/domestic violence) destroys such an environment, violates core doctrines of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and causes significant trauma for the victim—intellectually, emotionally, socially, physically and spiritually.
Its final report is now public and details the Advisory Council’s findings and recommendations. In a letter to the campus community, President Worthen announced that the university has accepted all 23 of the Advisory Council’s recommendations.
