海角社区 is committed to creating a safe and healthy environment for all members of its community. To do this, the University is creating awareness and educating the UW Community on Sexual Violence. The University’s Board of Regents (governance body) approved the Sexual Violence Prevention Policy and Procedures in June 2018 in order to better support Survivors, respond to Disclosures, and investigate Reports of Sexual Violence in an effective, respectful, and fair way.
