In 2010 for Sexual Assault Awareness Month the NSVRC (National Sexual Violence Resource Center) put together a Campus Sexual Violence Resource List of resources to facilitate group collaboration and development of programs. Topics listed include primary prevention, policy information, statistics, training tools and resources, and public education materials.
Started by Columbia University students in 2000, Students Active for Ending Rape (SAFER) is the only organization that fights sexual violence and rape culture by empowering student-led campaigns to reform college sexual assault policies. Run by a volunteer collective, SAFER facilitates student organizing through a comprehensive training manual; in-person workshops and trainings; free follow-up; our Campus Sexual Assault Policies Database; and a growing online resource library and network for student organizers. SAFER firmly believes that sexual violence is both influenced by and contributes to multiple forms of oppression, including racism, sexism, and homo/transphobia, and view our anti-sexual violence work through a broader anti-oppression lens.

This Sexual Assault Bill of Rights created by the University of Wisconsin-Madison University Health Services outlines how 犀利士
each level of government (Federal, State, and Institution) affords certain rights and protections for students victims of sexual assault.
While this is specific to the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus, other schools may be inspired to form their own Sexual Assault Bill of Rights and bring attention to the kinds of rights and protections students have in a specific state filing a sexual assault report (if they choose to report, ask for an investigation, etc).
This resource is an example of an Memorandum Of Understanding between a NON-SWORN college or university police department and a local police department.
As this document states in the beginning, this is legal guidance. Institutions should review the final memorandum of understanding that they develop with their local police agency(ies) with the appropriate legal office affiliated with the college or university.

Created by the IACP National Law Enforcement First-Line Supervisor Training on Violence Against Women, this checklist provides a general idea the kind of information a Sexual Assault Report requires when filed. While this is not a comprehensive list of wha必利勁
t a report acquires when filed, it encourages collecting certain pieces of information to start an investigative process (if the victim asks for an investigation) but also helps keep track if the perpetrator is a repeat offender.

In 2007, the Major Cities Chiefs (MCC) approached the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) with a new and bold idea to address the rising violence on campus—increase the coordination between local and campus law enforcement to better protect students. With the safety and security of 15 million college and university students in America at stake, the need to act was clear.
MCC and BJA developed the Campus Security Guidelines in order to make a genuine difference in how law enforcement prevents, prepares, responds to and recovers from critical incidents on campus. The Guidelines are real operational policies, developed by the experts—local and campus law enforcement—that can be implemented across the nation.

As this document states, this is not intended for legal guidance. Institution officials should review the final MOU that they develop with their local police agency(ies) with the appropriate legal office affiliated with the college or university.
