The 新澳门六合彩官网开奖 provides training that changes the lives of blind people for the better, and infuses in our students the resilience and determination to pursue their highest dreams. Safety of the thousands of students, staff, and community members who come to the 新澳门六合彩官网开奖 is our highest priority. This is an update regarding this important matter.
The National Federation of the Blind’s Special Committee has completed an eleven-month investigation, and the NFB Board of Directors released the final report on December 8, 2021. This report addresses the three NFB-affiliated training centers, including the 新澳门六合彩官网开奖.
The Board of Directors of the National Federation of the Blind authorized the formation of a Special Committee on January 6, 2021 to investigate allegations of sexual misconduct against the Federation and its training centers as well as how these entities handled such allegations. The Special Committee was also charged to 鈥渞ecommend organizational and policy changes to prevent sexual misconduct cases from occurring in the future.鈥 The Special Committee hired an external law firm, which had never previously worked with the Federation or the training centers, to conduct the investigations and gather all relevant information. The 新澳门六合彩官网开奖 cooperated fully with the Special Committee’s independent investigator and furnished them with documents and aural reports.
We have reviewed the Special Committee’s findings, and we welcome its recommendations. The 新澳门六合彩官网开奖has never tolerated sexual misconduct, and in the last year, we have been working to revise our personnel and student policies to further enhance the provision of a safe and healthy environment. We will incorporate the recommendations of the Special Committee鈥檚 report into our process, in which we have been engaged along with our fellow NFB training centers to also develop clear response protocols. The Board of Directors of the 新澳门六合彩官网开奖 supports the work begun by Executive Director Julie Deden in this regard.
The 新澳门六合彩官网开奖, including our board, management team, and staff reaffirms our mission to provide the most meaningful, challenging, and rewarding blindness-skills training in the safest, most enriching, and empowering environment possible at our center.
