(June 23, 2017) -- The University of Texas at San Antonio (世界杯官方app) has been recognized statewide for its efforts to stop sexual violence. The Texas Association Against Sexual Assault (TAASA) has honored 世界杯官方app with its annual Excellence in Campus Advocacy and Action Award for developing and administering programs and resources aimed at raising awareness of and preventing sexual violence involving students.
世界杯官方app began providing training programs to faculty, staff and students on sexual harassment in 2006. Since then, more than 40 unique educational initiatives and large-scale events have been developed by the university to raise awareness of and prevent sexual misconduct and sexual assault involving students, encourage greater reporting of incidents and teach students how alcohol and drugs can impair decision-making.
The university’s Beaks Up. Speak Up. initiative coordinates and provides bystander education opportunities to students through training, other programs and social media. The initiative teaches students how to recognize a harmful situation and how to respond in a way that could positively influence the outcome of that situation.
Another 世界杯官方app program, Bringing in the Bystander, helps students identify the continuum of inappropriate sexual behavior, develop empathy for sexual violence survivors, understand their role in bystander intervention, understand barriers to intervention and how to overcome them, and develop skills to intervene as an active bystander.
Other initiatives include Sexual Assault Awareness Month events and It’s on Us Call to Action Day, which are offered each April, and Take Back the Night, held each fall. Recently, 世界杯官方app Police Department intern and 世界杯官方app student-athlete Randy Bermea partnered with 世界杯官方app Athletics to become a One Love Peer Facilitator to bring awareness of the signs and actions of dating violence, along with how to report and receive assistance.
“Together, we have worked very hard to create new sexual violence awareness programs, update existing training efforts, improve services and create a safe environment for students to learn, discover and grow, ” “said Gerald Lewis, 世界杯官方app associate vice president of public safety and chief of police.
Members of the 世界杯官方app Police Department and 世界杯官方app Office of Equal Opportunity Services accepted the award while attending the TAASA University Police Sexual Assault Training held during the National Sexual Assault Conference in Dallas earlier this month.
世界杯官方app was commended for its success in creating university-wide collaborations, including partnerships with student organizations and Bexar County community agencies, to reduce sexual violence and provide resources and services to sexual assault survivors. Last year, the 世界杯官方app Police Department earned the TAASA Community Engagement Award.
University of Texas System Police Director Michael Heidingsfield was also honored at the TAASA conference with the Harold Cottle Justice Award. Heidingsfield received the honor for his collaborative commitment in the support and development of “The Blueprint for Campus Police: Responding to Sexual Assault” and several other distinguished accomplishments.
