All Specific Charges are in addition to each committee's "General" Charge in the Council Bylaws.

  1. Review and comment on issues related to Title IX. We should note that although this charge seems to be broad, we have specifically focused on Title IX as it pertains specifically to athletics for the past several years, since this charge was originally created through general charge (v) and last year’s report specifically said that we needed to keep this focus.
  2. Assess the University's need-blind admissions policy as well as its other initiatives for first-generation, low-income (FGLI) and middle to lower-middle income students, including the financial impact of the second-year housing and potential meal plan requirements, the ongoing progress of Penn First Plus programs, and the needs of specific populations, such as STEM and international students.
