Updated Title IX Policies
The Skidmore College Title IX Policies have been revised to comply with the new 2024 Title IX regulations released in late April. Changes include easier access to resolution options, clarity of resources/support for pregnant and parenting students, increased jurisdiction over off-campus incidents, and alignment with Skidmore’s values and other policies to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. For more, please visit the SGBM webpage. The Title IX Office and the Advisory Council on SGBM will continue to review and refine these policies and educate the community this fall and throughout the academic year. Please contact the Title IX coordinator with any questions.
Campus Safety move and interim fleet vehicle process
Facilities Services is finalizing construction of the new Campus Safety office, which will be on the first floor of the Annex building. As part of this move, all fleet vehicles have been relocated to the Falstaff Lot effective Aug. 9. Campus Safety will complete its relocation during the week of Aug. 26. If you are borrowing a fleet vehicle, please plan to pick up and drop off the keys at Campus Safety during the transition period, Aug. 9-26. The vehicles will need to be picked up and dropped off in the Falstaff Lot. All vehicles have a designated parking spot, which should be clearly marked.
