Sexual Assault
The University of San Francisco recognizes that sexual assault is a serious issue. The University will not tolerate acts of sexual assault under any circumstances. Any USF student or employee who commits sexual assault will be subject to disciplinary action which may result in expulsion or suspension from the University in addition to any actions external authorities may undertake.
With the consent of the victim, all reported sexual assaults will be investigated and appropriate disciplinary, legal action, or both, will be taken. Once an incident of sexual assault becomes known to any University official (employee) that person (with the exception of mental health counselors) has an obligation to report that incident to the Department Of Public Safety.
Upon receiving the report, an Officer will be assigned to conduct a preliminary investigation for reporting the incident to SFPD. SFPD will then assume full responsibility of any criminal investigation. Victims should be conscious of preserving evidence that may be useful during criminal prosecution.
Public Safety reports are confidential.
Victims should be encouraged to follow up with the University's Counseling and Psychological Services , Campus Ministry or other public and private services within the City. The University will make changes in a victim's academic and living situation if reasonably possible.
The Sexual Assault and Drug/Alcohol Policies can be found in their entirety in the FOGCUTTER, which is published and distributed annually.
