University of Texas Is a Model in Combating Sexual Violence

Finally someone is stepping up and doing something!!!

"That the accuser had enough confidence to call police — a choice many sexual assault victims don't make, perhaps fearing loss of anonymity — is one factor that has led experts to regard UT's system of preventing and responding to sexual violence as a national model."

"At UT, students who have been sexually assaulted have a variety of paths to take, from counseling to internal inquiries to criminal investigations by the university police department."

"UT has long had a counseling and outreach program, Voices Against Violence; universities across the country have used aspects of it as a model for their own programs. Schools also have sought UT's advice on how to handle sexual assault accusations. "
