A message from SAFER (Students Active for Ending Rape):

Attached you will find a press release from Students Active for Ending Rape (SAFER) about our new sexual assault policies database. (http://www.safercampus.org/policies.php) The database archives sexual assault policies from colleges and universities across the nation. We hope that providing examples of effective policies will assist student activists in reforming their own school’s sexual assault policy. The database also allows students to comment on whether or not their school actually implements the policies as they have been written.
We’re reaching out to student activists this week, asking them to comment on the policy at their school if it is in the database already, or submit their school’s policy for inclusion if it is not.
Thanks, SAFER
------
I am hoping to help SAFER reach students by publicizing the database here. (http://www.safercampus.org/policies.php)
The policy database can only be useful if students know their resources exist. Please share this great resource with your friends, coworkers, and fellow students.
