University of Wisconsin System
June 23, 2009
The Honorable, The Legislature:
Section
36.11(22)(2)(b), Wisconsin Statutes, requires the Board of Regents to annually submit a report to the chief clerk of each house of the Legislature on the methods used by each UW System institution to disseminate information to students on sexual assault and sexual harassment. The attached report is submitted on behalf of the Board of Regents to fulfill the UW System's statutory requirements.
S309
The law requires UW System institutions to incorporate into their orientation programs for newly entering students oral and written information on sexual assault and sexual harassment, including information on: (1) sexual assault by acquaintances of the victims; (2) the legal definitions and penalties for sexual assault; (3) generally available national, state, and campus statistics on sexual assault; (4) the rights of victims; and (5) protective behaviors including methods of recognizing and avoiding sexual assault and sexual harassment. In addition, each institution must annually supply to all students enrolled in the institution printed material that includes information on all of these topics. This law was enacted in April 1990, and this is the eighteenth report to be compiled for the Legislature since its enactment.
This report summarizes the primary methods used by each institution to comply with s.36.11(22)(1), Wisconsin Statutes. The summaries are not exhaustive of all efforts underway at the institutions. Instead, they summarize the programs institutions have identified as their "best practices" to respond to victims of sexual assault and provide information about sexual assault prevention to all students.
Overall, UW System institutions are (1) continually updating and improving the scope and quality of information provided to students; (2) integrating presentations, small-group discussion of the issues, and interactive dramatizations relating to sexual violence into new student orientation programs; (3) providing educational and resource information required by s.36.11(22), Wisconsin Statutes, on the web or in print form; (4) offering educational programs addressing the topic in a wide range of venues, including residence halls, student unions, classrooms, student organization gatherings, and private housing facilities; and (5) establishing effective and important connections among campus and health personnel, local police, community service agencies, and regional hospitals to address sexual violence in a coordinated manner.
If you need additional information regarding this report, please contact Cindy Graham at
cgraham@uwsa.edu or 608-263-4398.
Sincerely,
kevin p. reilly
President
Referred to committee on Agriculture and Higher Education.
