What is Sexual Assault/Sexual Violence?
Sexual assault/sexual violence is defined as a particular type of sexual harassment that includes physical, sexual acts perpetrated against a person’s will or where a person is incapable of giving consent due to the victim’s use of drugs or alcohol or for any other reason. This includes but is not necessarily limited to inappropriate touching, sexual intercourse of any kind without consent, rape, and attempted rape.
What is Stalking?
Stalking is defined as a course of conduct directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to fear for her, his, or others’ safety or to suffer substantial emotional distress. All court-ordered “Stalking No Contact Orders” should be placed on file with Campus Safety.
