International students experience higher risks

The thing that I just noticed is the International Centre does not mention anything of this policy and it’s obvious that minority groups, which is basically international students, are the ones experiencing higher risks of sexual violence. So, I think it’s terrible that the international centre doesn’t have anything to do with the policy. I think that should be added to that somehow.

Recommendations

  • Use multiple formats to deliver accessible education about the SV/SA policy during orientation and at least once per semester
