Safety and Security Tips:
Sexual assault is never the fault of the victim. While nothing is failsafe, here are some tips that everyone should
consider:
- Forcing sexual contact on another person without consent is against the law and against university policy. Sexual
contact without consent is sexual assault and is never the victim’s fault.
- Be active in supporting a safe and respectful community. If you see others engaging in disrespectful or inappropriate
actions, speak up and get involved, or contact someone else to assist.
- If you would like more information about how to be a proactive bystander, please participate in a “Be a B.O.S.S.”
training.
- Trust your instincts. If you feel uneasy or sense something is wrong, call for help.
If you’ve been sexually assaulted, tell someone – there are resources to help you. Please visit
