A new website and thousands of posters are just two of the ways Indiana University is displaying its dedication to sexual violence prevention and education. And more is going on behind the scenes.

IU officials unveiled a Student Welfare Initiative to an impressed Board of Trustees on Friday. The initiative ramps up efforts on all campuses for sexual violence prevention and response.

“I think this is incredible work for such an incredibly important topic,” said student Trustee Janice Farlow.

At the April board meeting, the trustees approved a Commitment to Student Welfare statement that called for no tolerance for sexual assault and for compliance with all related prevention and reporting laws. This puts that into action, IU officials said.

“I’m not aware of any other university board that has made such a strong statement,” said John Applegate, IU executive vice president for university academic affairs.
