The Campus Sexual Violence Elimination (Campus SaVE) Act, an amendment to the Clery Act, requires higher education institutions to increase transparency about crimes of sexual violence on campus; guarantees rights for victims of sexual violence and provides certain accommodations; provides certain standards in institutional conduct proceedings; and provides campus-wide prevention educational programming. To learn about the Campus, SaVE Act, visit https://www.stetson.edu/law/conferences/highered/archive/media/SaVE%20Summary.pdf.
The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), reauthorized in 2022, creates and supports cost-effective responses to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking. To learn more about VAWA, visit https://www.hud.gov/vawa#close.
Together, these three laws guide the college’s efforts to respond to reports of sexual harassment and provide ongoing education and prevention programming.
Should you ever find yourself in a situation where you are being sexually harassed (this includes sexual assault, domestic/dating violence or stalking), do not hesitate to dial 911.
