Victims of sexual assault also need clearly defined choice points and options. An array of police, medical, psychological, administrative and disciplinary services are in place and immediately available to a student who reports sexual assault. The University is committed to maintaining the student's confidentiality while supporting informed decision-making regarding services. The University will continue to provide support services to students who choose to seek criminal or civil prosecution as well as disciplinary action under the University's Student Code of Conduct . Alcohol inhibits clear thinking, makes talking and listening more difficult, makes it harder to assess risk, and can increase aggression.
Consensual sex requires sober, verbal communication without intimidation or threats.
Additionally, being drunk is never an excuse for raping someone . When mixed with alcohol, the results can be lethal. Do not take any beverages or open container drinks from someone you do not know well and trust. At a bar or club, accept drinks only from the bartender, waiter or waitress. Be alert to the behavior of friends.
