Again, I am writing from many, many years of having to write what we called
incident reports and then also being a front line manager having to enforce a
CoC once one was developed. At the library where I worked, incidents that took
place not on library property were not reportable as such,
While issues that have a sexual or racial connotations are the ones that most
people will think about in relation with a CoC, there are other issues, e.g.
abuse of power, that are important to consider for a CoC.
However, if coming to an agreement on how to implement the rules related sexual
I would like to thank Stacie for her excellent and very thoughtful reply. I
think it helps to hear from people with direct personal experience (instead
of dealing with hypotheticals) to understand just what it is we are talking
about with this. I also want to thank others who came forward in the
If you followed some of the other posts from yesterday, Anne posted a link to a
very interesting page on common mistakes in CoC writing, including this
