Last year, the New Jersey State Bar Foundation hosted a timely and provocative program on violence against women on college campuses that forced everyone to take a long-overdue look at sexual violence against women. Since then, much has happened.
On Tuesday, March 13, the Foundation and the New Jersey Institute for Continuing Legal Education (NJICLE) will host Violence Against Women on College Campuses Update 2018. The morning program will present the latest information on campus violence and take a look back at what has happened in the last year.
Among the topics to be addressed are: What have colleges and universities done to help prevent assault in the last 12 months and has it been working? What effect has the current presidential administration had on sexual assault prevention? Has the #MeToo movement had an effect on preventing assault on college campuses? And, what can the public do to help prevent college sexual assault?
Foundation President Lynn Fontaine Newsome will give introductory remarks and the morning’s moderator will by Raymond M. Brown of Greenbaum, Rowe, Smith & Davis. Panelists include: Passaic County Superior Court Judge Sohail Mohammed; Montclair State University Associate Counsel Maria C. Anderson; YWCA Bergen County CEO Helen Archontou; Manhattan College General Counsel Tamara J. Britt; Executive Director, NJ Coalition Against Sexual Assault, Patricia Teffenhart; and Philip A. Byler of Nesenoff & Miltenberg.
