The protection of life and property on campus requires the understanding and active participation of all members of the University community. Back to Top of Document Victims' Resources and Rights Crimes on campus should be reported immediately to the Department of Public Safety. For off-campus incidents, contact the local Police Department. Members are trained to listen, advise and counsel victims of rape and sexual assault. They also have the right to refuse all these options without reproach from any University personnel.
Victims have the right to be treated with dignity and seriousness by campus personnel.
Victims of crimes against an individual have the right to be reasonably free from intimidation and harm. Victims will be made aware of appropriate student services, including counseling. Victims are entitled to the same support opportunities available to the accused in a campus disciplinary proceeding. If the accused is prohibited from contacting the victim or entering the victim's residence, the victim will be notified that the ban is in effect. The University operates a shuttle bus service from September through May, whenever classes are in session.
