Subject: RE: campus SART info

 

Hello All,

 

I’m wondering if folks who have campus Sexual Assault Response Teams would be willing to share some information with me.  We don’t currently have a SART at UIUC and are looking into how other campuses set up theirs.  For those that have SART’s:

 

1.       What are the goals of the SART?

2.       Who is part of the team?

3.       How often does the team meet?

 

If anyone is willing to share, your insights would be very much appreciated.  Feel free to reply to me at .  Thank you!

Subject: Students must act to prevent sexual assault--Editorial at UW-Madison

 

Please click on link to read entire editorial. 

 

As a point of clarification, first year students receive other (brief) education about sexual assault during summer orientation and providing information to all new students about sexual assault is required by state statue.   This said, we are struggling to move this campus from “providing information” to effective prevention programs designed to prevent perpetration and interrupt victimization.

Last week, thousands of freshmen descended onto the UW-Madison campus.  Eager to start the next chapter of their lives, most are delightfully overwhelmed with everything this tremendous university has to offer. Most are also undereducated about a reality plaguing this campus: Sexual assault.

Promoting Awareness, Victim Empowerment (PAVE) continually finds that the majority of students come to UW-Madison believing rape is something that only happens in the middle of the night when no one is around. As we've seen far too many times this summer, this form of rape certainly happens and needs to be addressed, but there is another reality students need to be aware of: One in four women will be victims of rape or attempted rape during their time at college. Ninety percent of these assaults will be perpetrated by someone the victim knows. While these numbers are staggering, most students remain confused about the scenario in which sexual assaults most commonly occur.
