Rape prevention center's agenda hinges on coordinator
By LAURA BISCHOFF
Daily news analysis
The exact focus of the University's newly-
approved sexual assault crisis center is still up in
the air, and most of the planning decisions will be
left up to a coordinator who has yet to be found by
the hiring committee, sources said.
The agenda of the center will depend on who is
hired as coordinator. Roselle Wilson, assistant to
the Vice President for Student Services, said the
office will allow the coordinator to determine how,
when, and what kind of programs will be run.
JENNIFER FAIGEL, a member of MSA's
women's issues committee, said that initially the
coordinator's job will be to set the agenda for the
center.
"It's going to depend almost entirely on the
coordinator," Faigel said. "If we get a real
fighter, someone who is willing to lobby the ad-
ministration for what's needed, then that's a good
start."
It may take a long time before the center is
productive and functioning smoothly, said Dianne
Windischam, coordinator of the crisis center at
Michigan State University. "We floundered
around at first," she said, referring to MSU's
program which began in 1979. "The how-we're-
gonna-work-it-for-this-particular-university takes
the first few years. . . In my experience, it takes
three years until you get to the point wher you're
fine tuning."
The coordinator position will not be posted until
the Personnel Office approves a pay scale, which
is expected in a few weeks, Wilson said. Also,
although the executive officers have approved the
funds, the allocation still has to be passed by the
regenta in August.
THE ORIGINAL proposal to the executive of-
ficers requested three full-time staff members, a
24-hour hotline crisis intervention service, coun-
seling, and education-prevention programs. All of
this was approved "in principle" according to
"Vice President for Student Services Henry John-
son, but only some aspects of the proposal will be
instituted this fall.
