The UPEI Student Union is signing on with a Nationwide Sexual Violence Prevention campaign.
It’s called the Our Turn National Student Action Plan to End Campus Sexual Violence.
Our Turn is a national student movement to end sexual violence, and has scored sexual assault policies from fourteen schools across the country. Almost half of the fourteen campuses received failing grades.
Based on the Our Turn evaluation method, UPEISU has given the current 2007 UPEI Fair Treatment Policy a score of 59% and an overall grade of D+.
The UPEISU has been working in collaboration with the University to create the UPEI Sexual Violence Prevention & Response Task Force, a working group that will review and implement UPEI’s new stand-alone sexual assault policy.
The Task Force will be holding consultations October 18th.
