Decision: The SCC voted to approve its recommendations and send them to the Senate Executive Committee for consideration.
Actions: The SCC met to discuss the charge on December 2, 2010. Steve Glickman, Student Government Association (SGA) President, and Irina Alexander, undergraduate Student Senator and former President of Students for a Sensible Drug Policy, joined the committee at the meeting to discuss the charge.

The SCC met on January 26, 2011 and decided that it is clear that the current Responsible Action Protocol is not viewed as sufficient by the undergraduate student body. The committee decided that if changing the practice from a protocol to a policy will encourage more students to call for help when needed, then the establishment of a policy is necessary and appropriate at this time. In conjunction with the Office of Student Conduct, the SCC created a draft policy and the SCC voted unanimously to approve recommending the draft policy be adopted.
