The University of New Haven (“the University”) is committed to providing an environment in which all members of the University community are safe, free from fear, intimidation, or harassment, and able to participate fully in the educational and social opportunities available to them at the University.  The University’s Sexual Misconduct Policy describes the University’s prevention policy toward sexual misconduct of any kind, including sexual assault, non-consensual sexual contact, non-consensual sexual intercourse, sexual exploitation, sexual harassment, dating violence, intimate partner violence, domestic violence, stalking, and intimidation.  It also provides guidance for students, faculty, or staff who have been subjected to sexual misconduct, outlines the University’s disciplinary response, and identifies campus and community resources available to members of the University community.

Victims of sexual misconduct, whether occurring on or off campus, will be supported and assisted in obtaining medical treatment, counseling, and other resources to help them with the trauma they experience. The following links are resources that are helpful for victims of sexual assault.
