Sex-Offense Policy Statement Sexual assault refers to rape, acquaintance rape or any unwanted physical contact of a sexual nature. You may know your assailant or it may be someone you have never met or seen before. Statistics show that high school and college women are more likely to be raped by someone they know than by a stranger. Men may also be victims. Educational programs designed to prevent sexual offences and to promote the awareness of sexual assault are offered for the Husson community.
Sexual assault can happen anywhere.
Use common sense on a date. If you feel uncomfortable in a social situation or with a group activity, leave. Don t be afraid to hurt someone s feelings, get yourself to a safe place whenever you feel in danger. The officers can also refer you to a professionally trained counselor on campus or off-campus. If the sexual assault is reported to the Dean of the College, the College counselors, the College Chaplain, the professional staff in Residential Life, Student Health Services, or Student Development, the victim will receive assistance with medical and emotional needs and will be informed of the option to notify law enforcement authorities.
