The school units shall likewise appoint members of its School Committee on Decorum and Investigation (SCODI) that shall investigate incidents and complaints involving peer to peer sexual- related infractions.
To further prepare them for this important task, they will undergo mandatory gender and sensitivity training and orientation on the Code and Rules. They will also undergo continuing training in the course of their service.
On behalf of the Ateneo de Manila, I would like to thank the new members of the UCODI for their gracious acceptance of this mission. Let us support the new UCODI members with our cooperation and prayers as we work together to create a safer school environment. May the Holy Spirit grant them wisdom in their deliberations and recommendations.
