The money also provides training for Judicial Affairs staff and University police officers, as well as all faculty and staff. Some of these programs will extend beyond University Park to other Penn State locations. It is my hope that through these initiatives we can focus community attention on the work that still needs to be done to stop all forms of violence. We must continue to draw attention to the problems of the victims of these crimes of sexual aggression and hatred. As I have said before, actions that threaten the dignity or safety of any one of us, represent threats to all of us.
Sexual assault impedes the personal and academic development of everyone in our community.
Let us join together to stop this silent, violent epidemic.
