The Reproductive Health Working Group is tasked with understanding the new legal and health care environment in Texas to address the questions that have arisen in our community surrounding reproductive health, to provide guidance to leadership on how these changes affect the broader educational and research mission at Rice, and to determine how to best support our community in their reproductive health choices.
Members of the working group will update the Rice community as additional information is known about the changing reproductive health care climate in Texas and the nation, and will publicize the resources for reproductive health that are available at Rice. This working group has no set end date and will remain a resource to the Rice community for the foreseeable future.
Provost Amy Dittmar and Dean of Undergraduates Bridget Gorman co-chair the working group, and includes the following members:
- Rachel Kimbro, Dean of Social Sciences
- Seiichi Matsuda, Dean of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies
- Joan Nelson, Associate Vice President for Human Resources
- Omar Syed, Vice President and General Counsel
- Linda Thrane, Vice President for Public Affairs
- Allison Vogt, Associate Dean of Students and Deputy Title IX Coordinator
