Sexual Violence Prevention & Response

Welcome

At Methodist University, primary prevention is our highest goal when addressing sexual violence. This means that we offer educational programs and support services that challenge the beliefs, biases, and behaviors that perpetuate sexual violence. On Methodist University’s campus, faculty, staff, and students are working together to create a climate in which sexual violence is impermissible and speaking out against sexual violence is the norm.

When sexual violence does occur, however, we are dedicated to responding in a timely and sensitive manner, ensuring that all involved are aware of the resources available on campus.

This site is designed to:

• Connect those who have experienced sexual violence to the support resources and reporting resources they need
• Inform Methodist University faculty, staff, and students about how sexual violence is defined and addressed on campus
• Help Methodist University community members to be positive support people and active bystanders

Please use the information provided here to help yourself, help a friend, and help make Methodist University a safe space for everyone.
