"These are things that have been developed through legal precedent but isn't specifically written into the law," she said.

In developing the policy, Viggiani said she also worked with then-Secretary to the Administrative Board Virginia L. MacKay-Smith '78. MacKay-Smith, who last week assumed Viggiani's role as assistant dean for co-education, declined yesterday to comment on her views of the new policy.

The new proposal does not include an addendum to the definition which created a new disciplinary category called "sexual negligence."

Heinicke, who originally opposed the "negligence" rider in the council debate over the definition, said the Faculty Council thought the rider was unnecessary.

"The creation of a sexual negligence category wasn't called for," he said.

Awareness Most Important

Viggiani and Heinicke both said the definition itself was not as important as educational programs at the College.

"If you want to send messages, you don't write it into an obscure passage in the Student's Handbook," Heinicke said.

As a result of her work on the Task Force, Viggiani said she has received more money toward developing educational and student training programs at the College.

Viggiani said she expected the compromise to be widely accepted by faculty and students.

"It seems to satisfy everyone, as far as I know," she said.

Members of the Faculty Council appeared to support the Undergraduate Council definition when the two groups spoke before them in November.

Jewett said the Faculty Council will likely support the measure, because both the Undergraduate Council and the Task Force policies had been generally supported in November.

If the proposal is approved by the Faculty Council, the full Faculty will vote to decide whether it will become a general regulation at the College
