Ending Campus Sexual Violence: Outcomes from the Culture of Respect Collective Program
Korman, Allison Tombros; Henkle, Jennifer E.; Wesaw, Alexis
NASPA - Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education
Over the last decade, sexual violence in higher education has been a focus for colleges and universities, student activists, parents and families, and the media alike. As institutions responded to these complaints and students demanded action and accountability, it became clear there were too few resources available to address this issue. Specifically, there was a paucity of programs or frameworks to effectively guide colleges and universities in making the organizational and cultural change necessary to prevent sexual violence at the primary level of intervention. The Culture of Respect Collective, a NASPA signature initiative, is a two-year program designed specifically to address the enormity of this issue. Grounded in a comprehensive, evidence-informed framework, the program guides institutions of higher education through a rigorous process of self-assessment and targeted organizational change. This report examines the experience and outcomes of Collective Cohorts 1 and 2, particularly the meaningful programmatic and policy changes they made that further the goal of ending campus sexual violence. At the end of their two years in the program, participating institutions completed or made progress on 85% of the objectives they set for themselves around strengthening sexual violence prevention and response efforts, and 77% saw increased collaboration between departments and colleagues in this vital work. Ninety-two percent of participating institutions also saw an increase in required prevention programming for undergraduate students, and there was an overall rise in institution level interventions. This report considers the factors that facilitated and impeded institutions' success in implementing the program, as well as how the growing number of Collective institutions can impact higher education's understanding of the problem, and how best to address it.
