Faculty Experiences Partnering with Student Affairs Practitioners to Address Campus Sexual Violence

Abstract

Faculty members’ experiences in partnering with student affairs practitioners to address campus sexual violence were investigated in this study. Findings indicate that due to the historic bifurcation of faculty and student affairs responsibility and differences in conceptualization of the issue of sexual violence, faculty members experience gatekeeping in their ability to engage in efforts to address campus sexual violence. Recommendations for how partnerships can be better utilized are included.
