Reporting & Accountability
Transparent Reporting Procedures
Clear and transparent reporting procedures should be established, detailing how survivors can report incidents and the steps to respond.
Confidential Reporting Options
Providing confidential reporting options ensures that survivors have control over the information they choose to share. This empowers survivors to seek support without feeling pressured to take formal action.
Comprehensive Investigations
Colleges must commit to thorough and impartial investigations of reported incidents. This includes holding accountable any individuals found responsible for sexual assault.
Addressing sexual assault on campus requires a collective effort from universities, students, and the broader community. By implementing prevention programs, offering robust support resources, and holding perpetrators accountable, we can create safer environments for all students. Colleges must prioritize the well-being and safety of their students, working together to foster a culture of respect, consent, and empowerment. Together, we can make a significant impact in preventing sexual assault and supporting survivors on college campuses nationwide.
