Expectations for Working Together

Our interactions in the group will uphold our desire to have safe communication spaces
We acknowledge that discussions may become contentious, however we want to be transparent in our communication and avoid back-channeling
To ensure input from all members during meetings, we will use the Raise Hand function in Zoom as appropriate
Vice-Chair will take a poll of members to ascertain if an issue or concern under discussion affects each campus. This will help the SILS subteams to scope their work while supporting members with local issues.
Create a list of statements that the team agrees to uphold. For example, ask yourself: How do we make this group a safe space for transparent discussion (knowing that it might become contentious, and avoid back-channeling)? What are our ground rules for meetings? How do we ensure everyone is engaged? How do we ensure everyone has a voice? How will we resolve disagreements?
