Nevada college sexual assault law now in effect
LAS VEGAS, NV. (CNN) - Nevada has a new state law aimed at addressing sexual assault on college campuses.
It creates a task force of experts and provides free medical and legal support for victims.
It also uses an anonymous survey to find out where assaults might be happening on campus.
Indigo Hinojos is going into her senior year at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. She is a student advocate for Every Voice Coalition.
She s one of some 1,500 students who helped create the law. UNLV has an amnesty policy, but this would implement an amnesty policy across all institutions stating that a survivor is not to be punished if they are under the influence of drugs or alcohol, Hinojos.
Hanover Town Meeting includes petition to eliminate town manager >Modified: 7/9/2021 9:39:56 PM
HANOVER Voters will decide on Tuesday whether to maintain Hanover’s town manager form of government or instead delegate more responsibilities to its five-member Selectboard.
A petitioned warrant article on this year’s Town Meeting ballot asks residents if they support “the continuation of the town manager plan as now in force in this town?”
A “yes” vote would continue the work of Town Manager Julia Griffin, who was hired in 1996, while a “no” vote would redistribute some of her responsibilities to elected officials.
In New Hampshire, town managers have hiring and firing power, can pay the town’s bills and set salaries. Hanover, which has a population of about 11,500, switched to the model in the 1970s as the town and Dartmouth College grew.
