WHAT IS PENN STATE DOING ABOUT SEXUAL ASSAULT?

Penn State is committed to supporting victims of relationship, domestic, and sexual violence, and to encourage an environment that is intolerant of acts of violence. Victims have been traumatized and, as a result, require sensitive care for their medical, psychological, and legal needs following victimization. Within the University community, it is imperative to support victims in their recovery from the trauma of relationship, domestic, and sexual violence and to do so with an attitude of concern and non-judgmental regard. For more information about Penn State's protocols to help victims, see the Protocol to assist victims of relationship, domestic and sexual violence.
