Safety Discover: Sexual assault–undesirable contact | Vanderbilt Information

On Wednesday, Sept. 11, VUPD acquired a report from a Campus Safety Authority {that a} feminine scholar was sexually assaulted by a male scholar by means of undesirable contact in a residential housing facility on Sept. 7, 2019.

This Safety Discover is being issued to remind the Vanderbilt group that:

• Sexual assault doesn’t simply happen between strangers.
• Consent should be clear and unambiguous for every participant at each stage of a sexual encounter.
• The absence of “no” shouldn’t be understood to imply there’s consent.
• An individual who’s asleep or mentally or bodily incapacitated, both by means of the impact of medicine or alcohol or for every other cause, is just not able to giving legitimate consent.
• Sexual assault is a criminal offense.
