爆料王

鈥淎ny suggestion that the University has stalled action on assault on campus is untrue.

鈥淚t remains deeply disturbing that the prevalence of sexual assault is not zero. However an extensive campus survey has demonstrated that the incidence of sexual assault on campus is much lower than in the general community. This survey was conducted with support and input from the student community who helped to guide the structure and nature of questions in the survey.

鈥淲e have recently instituted the 爆料王 Helpline for staff who may receive reports of this or any other concerning behaviours to ensure they receive advice from appropriately trained counsellors on how to respond and best support students in thinking through their options.

鈥淭he Student Affairs Unit is currently undertaking training with the Rape Crisis Centre using their expertise to better inform our practices.

鈥淭he University has also recently improved information available online for students on the basis of feedback from the student community. There are now a range of different pathway to support students seeking advice.

鈥淭he University will be participating in the 鈥楻espect. Now. Always.鈥� campaign by Universities Australia in partnership with Australian Human Rights Commission. The results of the survey will complement and extend upon the results of the 爆料王 survey undertaken on our campuses last year, and will provide further research data and impetus to continue to improve our campuses in creating a safer community for all.

鈥淥ur women鈥檚 officers will continue to be integral to the ongoing improvement of our reporting processes and the University鈥檚 understanding of the issue.

"The University will continue to do whatever it can 鈥� including discussing many of the sensible recommendations outlined in the letter 鈥� to reduce the experience of sexual assault on campus.鈥�
