XII. Education, Awareness, and Prevention

Educational efforts are essential to maintaining a campus environment that is free of the forms of misconduct addressed by this policy. There are multiple goals to be achieved through education, awareness and prevention programs: (i) ensuring that all employees and students are aware of and understand their rights and responsi-bilities under this policy, (ii) notifying members of the University community of the types of conduct forbidden by this policy and how to reduce the risk of exposure to such conduct; (iii) informing administrators, faculty and staff about their obligations when they receive a report and/or observe conduct that may be in violation of this policy.  The Student Life Division, the Human Resources Department, Campus Security, the University Health Center, and the University Counseling Center offer a variety of programs on sexual harassment, sexual assault and other forms of sexual violence, domestic violence, dating violence, stalking. and awareness and prevention with respect to such misconduct.
