Reporting and specific questions should be directed to the Student Life Office. Victims of sexual assault may request changes in academic or living arrangements if such are reasonably available. The Iowa Sexual Abuse Hotline is a resource for anyone who is coping with or concerned about the effects of sexual violence.
All services are free of charge, confidential, and are available to women, children, and men.
Advocates can provide a safe space to talk, supportive listening, and information about services across the state for sexual abuse survivors and their significant others. The Iowa Sexual Abuse Hotline can refer callers to their local sexual assault center and is also available to assist callers in accessing other local resources such as domestic violence centers, shelters, law enforcement, hospitals, county attorney offices, or other counseling services.
