Declaration Statement acknowledging pervasiveness of sexual violence on our campus • One in five college undergraduate women have been sexually assaulted or have experienced an attempted sexual assault (Paulson, 2011) • Fewer than five percent of sexual assaults that occur on college campuses are reported to police or campus authorities (Woltizky-Taylor, Resnick, Amstadter, McCauley, Ruggiero, & Kilpatrick, 2011) • College females have reported knowing their perpetrator 90% of the time (Rich, Utley, Janke, & Moldoveanu, 2010). • Being a victim of sexual assault can have detrimental consequences on a person’s physical, emotional, and sexual health (Exner & Cummings, 2010). • 8.2% of men reported being sexually assaulted (Exner & Cummings, 2010). • A paradigm shift will not occur until the social norms of victim blaming is changed (Banyard, Moynihan, & Crossman, 2009) • Providing a safe community for all campus faculty, staff, students, and visitors is part of an educators duty (Mayhew, Caldwell, & Goldman, 2011).
