Student Advocates are not primary therapists or counselors. They can help provide you with support, let you know about what options and resources are available to you, be there to help you through a difficult time, or just talk things over with you. If you are interested in being a Student Advocate, contact the Counseling Center at PBX 6407. While the Sexual Offense Prevention Policy and Program help make the campus a more safe environment for everyone, we still have problems here. Sexual assaults, sexual harassment and relationship violence between people who know each other are the most frequent kinds of violation here.
Violations occur between men and women, men and men and women and women.
Like on many campuses, violations often happen while people are using substances. The policy primarily seeks to be an educational force in the community, helping us all to discuss and listen to how our actions effect each other. Yet there is also a judiciary process available to fairly ascertain accountability and community safety of both individual persons and of the community. There are many students who have experienced sexual violation before arriving at Antioch. Healing from that experience may be an integral part of their personal, social and academic lives while they are here.
