Achieving Minimum Standards for OVW Campus Grant Programs Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women Campus Grant Program Managers
Grants to Reduce Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault and Stalking on Campus Program Standards
The Campus Standards l The Campus Standards are offered as means to guide schools in comprehensively and collaboratively responding to issues of violence against women on college campuses.
The Campus Standards l The following adaptation of these guidelines and standards is not intended to limit a campus’ ability to develop programming appropriate for their school.
The Campus Standards l OVW strongly recommends that the proposed activities outlined in the Campus Standards be expanded upon as an individual campus deems appropriate or tailored specifically to meet the needs of an individual campus.
Minimum Standards for Creating a Coordinated Community Response to Violence Against Women on Campus
Creating a Coordinated Community Response Team l a coordinated community response to violence against women on campuses should be a multi -disciplinary response and involve the entire campus as well as the larger community in which the campus is located. ”
Creating a Coordinated Community Response Team l As we all know, as part of this program, all campuses must develop partnerships with at least one local nonprofit, nongovernmental victim services organization within the community which the institution is located and one or more of the following criminal justice or civil legal agencies: external law enforcement, prosecution, civil legal assistance providers, systems-based victim services units, or judiciary and court personnel. An applicant who is partnering with campus law enforcement or campus security must still partner with a criminal justice or civil legal agency. ”
Creating a Coordinated Community Response Team l Coordinated community response teams and task forces should reflect the wide variety of organizations that are involved in campus life in order to involve all the different entities who have a role in meeting the needs of victims of violence against women on campus and holding offenders accountable.
Creating a Coordinated Community Response Team l Coordinated campus and community response teams or tasks forces should review protocols, policies and procedures of member organizations and provide cross-training on their individual missions and roles.
Creating a Coordinated Community Response Team l Coordinated response teams should work together on a consistent basis with scheduled meetings to develop formal policies and protocols for responding to violent crimes against women when they occur.
Creating a Coordinated Community Response Team l The goal of ongoing meetings should be to develop and enhance a response to violence against women on campus that is timely, appropriate, sensitive, and respectful to victims needs and that holds offenders accountable.
Creating a Coordinated Community Response Team l Involving partners in program planning, training and curriculum development and event sponsorship is critical to a successful coordinated community response.
Creating a Coordinated Community Response Team l First and foremost, campuses should work in close collaboration with experts on addressing violence against women issues. l OVW recommends that campuses incorporate as many of the Campus Standard guidelines when forming and building coordinated community response teams or taskforces.
Minimum Standards of Training for Campus Security Personnel
Training for Campus Security Personnel l The Campus Program requires that all campus police be trained to respond effectively in domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking cases. ”
Training for Campus Security Personnel l Training programs should be developed in collaboration with campus or community-based victim advocacy programs.
Training for Campus Security Personnel l Training programs should include information about relevant federal and state laws and arrest protocols; information on enforcement of orders of protection; and instruction on making primary aggressor determinations.
Training for Campus Security Personnel l Campuses should carefully coordinate and plan training sessions for campus security personnel, and should design all trainings in close collaboration with experts on violence against women issues.
Training for Campus Security Personnel l Programs should work closely with campus security personnel to schedule convenient events to ensure attendance by the maximum number of officers.
Training for Campus Security Personnel l Again, the emphasis of the trainings should be that the response to victims needs to be timely, appropriate, sensitive, and respectful.
Training for Campus Security Personnel l The Campus Standards for Training campus law enforcement offers both general topics to be incorporated into a training program for officers as well as providing unique training considerations when focusing specifically on cases of sexual assault, or dating and domestic violence, or stalking.
Minimum Standards of Training for Campus Disciplinary and Judicial Boards
Training for Campus Disciplinary and Judicial Boards l The Campus Program requires that all applicants establish or strengthen programs to train members of campus disciplinary boards to respond effectively to charges of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking.
Training for Campus Disciplinary and Judicial Boards l All members of campus disciplinary boards, including faculty, staff, students, and administrators should receive expert training on these crimes.
Training for Campus Disciplinary and Judicial Boards l The structure of campus disciplinary boards or judicial boards varies widely. Some boards are made up of faculty and administration officials while others are comprised of student representatives. Campuses should design all trainings in close collaboration with experts on violence against women issues.
Training for Campus Disciplinary and Judicial Boards l Prior to conducting training for campus disciplinary or judicial boards, a campus should review the current code of student conduct.
Training for Campus Disciplinary and Judicial Boards l Training topics could include information about the causes and effects of violence against women.
Training for Campus Disciplinary and Judicial Boards l The Campus Standards for Training Campus Disciplinary and Judicial Boards offers both general topics to be incorporated into a training program for board members as well as providing specific training considerations.
Minimum Standards for Establishing A Mandatory Prevention and Education Program for all Incoming Students on Campus
Mandatory Prevention and Education Program Standards l The Campus Program requires that all campuses establish a mandatory prevention and education program about domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking for all incoming students (first year students, transfer students, etc. ), working in collaboration with campus and community-based victim advocacy organizations.
Mandatory Prevention and Education Program Standards l Campuses should carefully consider how to ensure that all incoming (first year students, transfer students, etc. ) students will receive the mandatory orientation.
Mandatory Prevention and Education Program Standards l It is essential for campuses to have a mechanism established to fully account for the participation of each student in the program.
Mandatory Prevention and Education Program Standards l The prevention and education program can and should include a variety of methods –website, courses, presentations, seminars, theater discussions, letters, etc.
Mandatory Prevention and Education Program Standards l The program should include information about domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. The campuses’ policies and protocols, student code of conduct, local and national resources, hotlines, legal, medical, mental, and other assistance should all be addressed in configuring a program. Information provided in the program curriculum should cover a spectrum of topics.
Mandatory Prevention and Education Program Standards l OVW recommends that campuses consider the prevention and education program for incoming students to be established in three stages in order to maximize the number of incoming students reached and engage the students in as effective a way as possible.
Mandatory Prevention and Education Program Standards l A three-stage program configured as: pre-orientation/arrival, – orientation/arrival, and – on-going – This gives students access to relevant information as they progress in their campus experience.
Mandatory Prevention and Education Program Standards l Given the different types of campuses and their various orientation policies, there is no one size fits all solution. OVW recognizes that what a large public university schedules for incoming students will be vastly different from what a small rural community college schedules. Programs should be creative and use all of the campus resources available to reach the entire population of incoming students.
Mandatory Prevention and Education Program Standards l Be conscientious and encompass all different orientation sessions held on campus. Incoming students enter the campus every quarter, semester, and in addition, some unique groups may have their own separate orientations: (such as athletes, specific residence halls, foreign students).
Mandatory Prevention and Education Program Standards l Within the Orientation training, each program should consider employing two or more distinct formats to reach students in different ways. It is recommended that one of the strategies involve peer involvement such as men’s groups, peer theatre or peer education.
Mandatory Prevention and Education Program Standards l Please note, OVW does not consider the creation and distribution of CD-rom and print media alone to be sufficient to complete this program requirement.
Mandatory Prevention and Education Program Standards l After the initial “arrival” of incoming students, campuses should continue to schedule activities (semester/quarter beginning) connected to different campus events and located at a variety of campus venues.
Mandatory Prevention and Education Program Standards l Campuses should not consider adopting a single recommendation from those identified as meeting this program requirement. l The recommendations are made so that campuses might consider a multi-stage approach to meet the program requirement.
Overview • OVW policy requires campus grantees to create a coordinated community response relating to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking on campus. • The multidisciplinary response to violence against women on campus involves the entire campus as well as the larger community in which the campus is located. Therefore, • The minimum requirement includes developing partnerships with at least one local non-profit, non-governmental victim services organization within the community and one external criminal justice or civil legal agency.
