SEMP Recommendation Proposal

Social Event Management Procedures Review Committee

2005-2006 SEMP REVIEW COMMITTEE

Introduction

The Dean of the College, Jim Larimore created a new committee on social event management to update the current Social Event Management Procedures (SEMP).  The Dean has asked the Committee to make recommendations to him that will increase the health and safety of the campus community and will help make the process more efficient. In, addition, Dean Larimore wants to ensure that SEMP is compliant with recent changes in New Hampshire state laws.

The Committee will make recommendations to Dean Larimore the end of winter term for possible implementation in the 2006-2007 academic year. 

The Committee recognizes the far-reaching impact that potential changes to the SEMP procedures may have on the student body.  Hence, the Committee encourages organizations, departments and individuals to submit their recommendations.  Please remember that the Committee will be focusing on increasing the health and safety of the campus community and making the process more efficient.

SEMP Community Input: Official Format (pdf download)

The Committee will only be considering changes to the SEMP procedures (http://www.dartmouth.edu/~sao/semp/) -- not changes to the Alcohol Policy ( http://www.dartmouth.edu/~deancoll/documents/handbook/rules-regs/alc-drugs.html).  The SEMP procedures fit within the framework of the Alcohol Policy as Section IX of that document, and which is further expanded as its own document. 

Please submit all recommendations electronically via blitz as an enclosed Microsoft Word document to Kim Hanchett.  All submissions will be accepted and considered, as long as they are prepared in the following format and received no later than February 13, 2006 at NOON::

  • At the beginning of the document please include the submitting organization’s name (or individual), for an individual include organizational or departmental position and BlitzMail address. 
  • Copy the section of the SEMP policy from the website, listed above into Microsoft Word that you would like to make changes to. Use the “strikethrough" feature (Format, Font, Strikethrough) to eliminate any word(s) or sections you would like to change. 
  • Add any new word(s) or sections in bold, whether to replace "strikethrough" areas or to simply add on to the current policy.  Leave the "strikethrough" sections in your submission so that it is clear which word(s) have been changed.
  • Include an explanation of each policy change recommendation in italics below the respective recommendation.  The explanation should include why the recommendation will increase the health and safety of the campus community or make the SEMP procedures more efficient.
  • You may also include a general commentary at the conclusion of your submission to address why you feel your recommendations will help contribute to a safer community.
  • Please indicate if you would like your submission to remain anonymous.  Otherwise, your submission may be shared with the campus community including but not limited to open public forums and focus groups.
  • Here is an example of how your submission should look:
