Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

[Megan Elizabeth Selheim <>]

We don’t currently operate our own 24-hour crisis line; instead, we provide everyone on campus with the community program hotline (with their permission). Rather than move forward at this point to develop the infrastructure we need for a 24-hour line, I’d like to acknowledge and formalize our relationship with our community program in an MOU.

 

I’m wondering if any other campus offices that currently provide victim services have something like that in place, and what it entails. I know that an MOU is one of the recommended options from the White House task force to provide 24-hour support, but I don’t know what that looks like other than their sample MOU. I think I would also have a stronger case with our student affairs division if I could point to other institutions with that sort of relationship.

 

Thanks!
