Faculty & Staff

SAFER Faculty and Staff Allies

SAFER believes that college faculty and staff can play an important role in the fight against sexual violence and help reform college sexual assault policies. Often, however, concerned faculty and staff are faced with high expectations and not enough resources.

By becoming one of SAFER's Faculty and Staff Allies, you can support students in your area working to reform their sexual assault policy. Students often find it difficult to locate their potential allies for a campaign to reform their school's sexual assault policy, but faculty and staff support can be crucial to the success of their work. By providing us with your contact information, you will be included in an electronic directory that is shared with student organizers upon request. This allows them to contact you should they need help. Students might contact you to ask for advice, to speak at an event, or to serve as a faculty advisor.

Your contact information will be made available only to students working to reform their sexual assault policy. All requests for information are screened to ensure that no one else is able to view this list. Your information will not be released to any other party, for any reason.

If you would like to join the Faculty and Staff Allies, please provide your details in our contact form.

Workshops for Administration, Faculty and Staff

SAFER offers customized workshops for college faculty and staff members who want to develop policies that reflect student needs and involve students in development and implementation, or who simply wish to start a dialogue with students about assault on campus and sexual violence policy. We will work with you to develop a workshop or webinar that meets your needs and your budget. Sample topics we can address include:

* Understanding the student perspective on effective policies
* Elements of a better sexual assault policy
* Involving students in policy development, implementation, and oversight
* Conducting a student-focused policy review
* Facilitated discussions among staff, students, and administrators
* Involving peer educators and victim advocates in the process of policy change
* Using written policy to support new or existing program goals

If you are interested in having SAFER conduct a workshop at your campus or create a webinar for you, please email us at trainings@safercampus.org
