At Oregon State University (OSU), upon searching for their Sexual Assault Policy I came across two interesting search results. The first one was the actual policy itself which provides links to counseling and psychological services, support services, student health services, meditation programs, and the Women's center. At OSU, they're dedicated to promoting a safe learning environment for all students. On their page for the sexual harassment policy, they provide resources and options for reporting incidents. The second search result they provide educational links and outreach centers (Office of Equity and Inclusion.) Sexual assault victims and survivors are guaranteed basic rights. The survivor must be notified of their options to notify law enforcement, they should be aware they can receive counseling services, and also given options for changing academic and living situations. Any students or staff that violate the policy towards sexual assault are subject to disciplinary action.
