Culture of Respect Council


The purpose of the Culture of Respect Leadership Council (Council) is to guide and support the university’s ongoing responsibilities to assure trauma-informed and equity-minded policies, practices, and procedures for the prevention and handling of gender-based violence.

Important to this work is the intentional introduction and use of common language in the sphere of gender-based violence, and ensuring that all members of the CWU community are educated about these definitions and language.
