About
The Team
Members of COLE include students, faculty and administrators from across the learning environment. Members share the common values that students should be free to learn in environment marked by freedom from mistreatment and/or microaggressions. Meeting quarterly, members of COLE help set the strategic direction for the Program for a Healthy Learning Environment, identify opportunities for proactively promoting a positive educational environment and review anonymized incidents of student mistreatment (and the institutional response). In this manner, COLE contributes to the transparency and accountability of the Program.
E-COLE meets monthly to review anonymized Learning Environment Surveys to ensure students are supported and their concerns are responded to appropriately and in line with institutional policies. E-COLE is comprised of the Senior Associate Dean for Medical Education, Senior Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs, Associate Dean for Diversity and Multicultural Affairs, Associate Dean of Student Affairs, Associate Dean of Medical Education and Assistant Dean of Student Affairs, Learning Environment. In addition, E-COLE meets:
-
On an ad hoc basis to respond to egregious examples of student mistreatment and/or microaggressions
-
To consider an appropriate response (including rescinding a faculty appointment) when an individual has been reported to have mistreated and/or microaggressed upon a student student on a third occasion
