As of this fall, AEO has gained a new member. Julian Williams is the new Director of Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action (EOAA). What exactly does that mean? Williams will be responsible for investigating complaints concerning harassment and discrimination on campus, training staff and students how to react and respond to such acts, promoting and organizing diversity activities on campus, and making sure the campus is accessible. During his time at Vassar, Williams hopes to evaluate and improve the accessibility of buildings on campus. For now, however, he hopes to learn more about the issues regarding accessibility that the Vassar community is specifically facing. Finally, Williams encourages students to use him as a resource!
