education
 Amends the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of
Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime
Statistics Act (Clery Act)
 Added domestic and dating violence and
stalking to what must be reported
 Expands hate crimes to those based on


The Act Requires CLU to:
educate students, faculty, and staff on the
prevention/awareness of rape, acquaintance rape,
sexual assault, dating and domestic violence, and
stalking
 provide information on what to do and where to find
available resources if you are a victim, witness, or
official of CLU
 The act resulted in CLU creating the Sexual Violence
Resource Packet that is available on the CLU website
 ensure Campus Security Authorities and Mandatory
Reporters under Title IX are trained and their identity
known to the campus community

The
Act Requires CLU to
define:
Sexual Assault
Dating Violence
Domestic Violence
Stalking

Sexual Assault occurs when sexual contact is
non-consensual. NO/STOP means NO consent.
Consensual: an individual is a willing participant in
the sex act.
 Non-consensual: An individual is unable to give
consent if:




incapacitated by the influence of drugs or alcohol
suffer from a mental or physical disorder that makes
them incapable of offering consent
acting under threats, duress or force
NOTE: Consent to sexual contact is not implied because
of prior consent, and a relationship between partners,
such a marriage or formal dating relationship, does not
imply or create consent for sexual contact.
 Dating
Violence is violence committed by a
person:


who is or has been in a social relationship of a
romantic or intimate nature with the victim; and
where the existence of such a relationship shall
be determined based on consideration of the
following factors:


Length of the relationship
Type of relationship; frequency of interaction between
the parties
 Domestic
Violence includes crimes of
violence committed by a current or former
spouse of the victim, or by a person

spouse
who is similarly situated to a spouse of the victim
under the domestic or family violence laws
receiving grant monies or is protected under the
domestic or family violence laws
or by any other person against an adult or youth
victim who is protected from that person’s acts
by domestic or family violence laws.
 Stalking
is engaging in a course of conduct
directed at a specific person that would
cause a reasonable person to:


fear for his or her safety or the safety of others,
or
suffer substantial emotional distress.
 Stalking
can be part of dating and domestic
violence.

be made for the conduct to be stalking.
