In addition, both the accused and the accuser shall be notified of the results of the campus disciplinary proceeding brought as a result of the charges. If charges are pressed and the victim is found guilty, University discipline will be in line with the conviction. If charges are not pressed but the victim identifies the assailant, disciplinary action will be in line with the severity of the offense upon completion of the investigation and substantiation. If a student living off campus commits the offense, the subject may be fined or dismissed from the University. If a faculty or staff member commits the violation, disciplinary action may include termination of employment.
Assailants are less likely to target a person who appears assertive and difficult to intimidate.
Contact Public Safety and ask to be accompanied to your destination. Become familiar with locations of emergency call boxes throughout the Campus. Have first dates in public places and in groups. Remember that leaving a party or other social event with someone you have just met can be dangerous. Both men and women should avoid drugs and excessive alcohol in a dating situation.
