Marquette is committed to providing caring support and assistance to any student or employee who is the victim of an assault. Officers are trained to help obtain medical assistance, counseling and related support for victims.

The Department of Public Safety and other university departments are required by law to contact the Milwaukee Police Department to report all incidents of assault. Confidential assistance and referrals are available if reported to the Sexual Assault Treatment Center (SATC), ordained members of the clergy in Campus Ministry, counselors in the Counseling Center, and doctors and registered nurses in Student Health Services.

If a police report is filed, officers will assist the victim with the reporting process. Members of the Victim/Witness Services Unit are available to provide escorts to all related appointments and court proceedings. If an assault suspect is a Marquette student, the victim also will have the option of pursuing the case through the university's student conduct system. Student victims of sexual assault will be informed about on-campus student conduct procedures and services provided for victims. The victim and suspect may be present during on-campus hearings, and each may have a support person with him or her. The victim will be informed of the results of the student conduct hearing. Any student found responsible for sexually assaulting another student will be subject to all levels of university discipline, including suspension or expulsion.

Sexual Violence Prevention Programs and Support Services

To help foster a safe and responsive environment, the University provides a wide range of prevention programming, education, resources and support services relating to sexual violence, which includes sexual assault, relationship violence, and stalking.

Through a variety of educational programming efforts, students receive information that increases awareness about sexual violence issues and challenges beliefs to support risk reduction and prevention of sexual violence. The programming curriculum focuses on encouraging and supporting students in taking an active role in defining and preventing sexual violence. Through peer-to-peer training programs, led by the Bystander Intervention Team and Peer Health Educators, students review situations where sexual assault can likely occur and develop and discuss strategies they can use to support each other.

A coordinator of sexual violence services/advocate is available to provide support and assistance to those affected by sexual violence. The advocate is located within the Student Health Service and can be contacted at (414) 288-5244. Services the advocate can provide include::

• Referrals to university and community service providers.
• Assistance with housing, academic and other related matters and concerns.
• Information about reporting options.
• Escorts to all necessary court proceedings.
• Escorts through the process of obtaining restraining orders.
• Assistance with creating a safety plan.
  
  

Wisconsin Sex Offender Registry Information

The Sex Offender Registration and Community Notification Law (beginning June 1, 1997, Wisconsin Act 440) provides the public with automated access to information about offenders, who are required to register with the Department of Corrections. Registration is a way to monitor and track an offender's whereabouts, thereby providing access to information for law enforcement agencies, victims, public/private organizations and the general public. It is intended to promote public safety and help detect and prevent crime. Access to the registry is provided by the Department of Corrections through the Sex Offender Registry System.

For information about the Wisconsin Sex Offender Registry, go to the Wisconsin
Department of Corrections website.
