Victim Safety and Assistance

Siena College is committed to ensuring the immediate and long-term safety of survivors of sexual violence through a variety of means, for example:

· alternative housing locations, for the survivor and/or alleged assailant

· class schedule changes, for the survivor and/or alleged assailant

· orders of no contact, so the alleged assailant is not able to contact the survivor, and

· transportation to medical facilities (as requested by the survivor and if reasonably available).

In addition, College personnel will also assist students through the on-campus disciplinary/human rights process and can assist survivors in notifying off-campus law enforcement authorities (police, district attorney).
