A new program is offering free workshops to men on Indiana University's Bloomington campus, to heighten their awareness about campus safety and rape prevention. It replaces the former Peer Presenter Program. It is an effort to eliminate rape and other sexual assaults at IU, and focuses on rape and its prevention, and the debunking of myths about the crime. The program is presented to all-male groups by volunteer male moderators who lead discussions on how women are viewed in our society, legal definitions and ramifications of sexual assault, consent, and the role of alcohol and other drugs in sexual encounters. IU's Commission on Personal Safety, under the guidance of Dick McKaig, the dean of students, and Julia Lamber, the dean of women's affairs, fully supports SAFE's efforts to achieve a higher profile among students.
SAFE also offers two other safety programs.
