RESOURCES
This website provides individuals that have experienced sexual violence, or know someone who has experienced sexual violence, with an array of resources that reflect the University鈥檚 commitment to preventing and responding to sexual misconduct, including sexual assault, relationship violence, domestic violence, stalking, and sexual harassment.
You may use these resources to get confidential support, to address safety concerns, to locate providers of medical care and counseling, and to learn how to report sexual assault.
Creating a cultural shift
Addressing sexual and gender-based violence requires听a comprehensive approach to prevention that:
- Acknowledges that the vast majority of sexual misconduct is perpetrated by a person or persons known to the victim.
- Recognizes the complex and often co-occurring connection of alcohol and drugs and to sexual assault.
- Challenges any propensity for victim-blaming.
- Promotes the acceptance of 鈥� and affirms each individual鈥檚 right to 鈥� a broad spectrum of sexual choices.
- Understands and clearly defines the meaning and nature of consent.
Taking a community approach
Addressing sexual misconduct requires a holistic approach. We aim to raise听awareness of issues, resources, and responsibilities among all members of the听campus, providing each with the skills and efficacy to promote a caring听community in which students are safe from sexual assault, harassment, and听discrimination.
Self-care is important when coping with events that would be prohibited under the Title IX Policy. All involved parties have many options and are encouraged to seek confidential counseling and support from offices and/or entities identified below.
