In the regular session of its quarterly meeting on June 6, on the St. Thomas Campus, the University of the Virgin Islands Board of Trustees re-elected Attorney Henry Smock to serve as chairman and Alexander A. Moorhead as vice chairman.
At the meeting the Board approved an update of the University’s Sexual Harassment Policy, which was last updated in 2011. The new policy has been renamed the Sexual Misconduct Policy and encompasses a broader scope of issues regarding sexual misconduct to meet national standards. The Sexual Misconduct Policy puts the burden of consent on the alleged perpetrator, rather than the victim.
