Hi Heather, At UT Austin, we do not have any policy addressing bystander intervention. I confirmed with our Title IX coordinator there are no plans to develop a policy on this subject.
Like the other ACUPA members who have responded, our university also has a BI program established and offers education and training on the subject.

I had a discussion this morning with a colleague from Equal Opportunity Services. They are trying to determine if a policy on bystander intervention (which is a student initiative here) is feasible. My initial stance is that I don't immediately see this as a stand-alone policy topic, but rather something that can be addressed in a Code of Ethics policy. Anyone tackled this one yet?
