Find ways to work with faculty on the campus's sexual assault response

Abstract

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In an ideal world, students who survived sexual assault or violence would disclose immediately to a member of your campus security team, but the reality is that students — or staff or faculty — may be more comfortable disclosing to members of your campus they see more regularly. Do your faculty members know the appropriate steps to take in case a student discloses an assault to them? Assuring that faculty and staff know what to do in the face of such revelations can go a long way toward strengthening campus safety.
