Content Warning: Sexual assault
On Wednesday, Mar. 10, University President Rev. Peter M. Donohue, O.S.A., Ph.D. and the Universityâs Student Government Association hosted a Town Hall to address the sexual misconduct that has recently occurred on campus. Panel guests included Ryan Rost, Title IX Coordinator, Chief David Tedjeske, Director of Public Safety and Chief of Police, Stacey Andes, Director of Health Promotion and a Sexual Assault Resource Coordinator (SARC) and Amanda Rappa, Student Body President. The event was specifically in response to backlash after an email was sent to students on Mar. 3 notifying the community about various reports of sexual misconduct. Students and faculty voiced disappointment in the language and timing of the email. The event took place via Zoom in a webinar format, which only allowed the panel guests to speak. Questions were asked through a chat setting on Zoom and Rappa selected the questions that were asked most frequently.
Student spotlight: Dillard serves as SGA president during challenging times
By Emily Reed
As the president of the University’s Student Government Association this year, Thomas Dillard has spent plenty of his time making sure the SGA is giving students at Montevallo the best college experience they can have under the unusual circumstances related to COVID-19.
“In planning events, we focus on first keeping students safe, and to do this we have moved our events to an online format,” Dillard said. “Another way SGA is keeping things running smoothly is by being flexible with everything going on. When we have unexpected meetings, last-second event changes or internet issues, SGA is flexible with any situation that comes our way. I think this idea of flexibility is what keeps each member on their toes and willing to bring new ideas to the table.”
