THE BERKELEY CAMPUS STUDENT POLICY AND PROCEDURES REGARDING RAPE AND SEXUAL ASSAULT
I. POLICY STATEMENT
The University of California at Berkeley is committed to creating and maintaining an environment in which all persons who participate in University programs and activities can work together in an atmosphere free of all forms of harassment, exploitation, or intimidation. Every member of the University community should be aware that such behavior is prohibited by law and by University policy and that the University will not tolerate sexual misconduct in any form, including acquaintance or date rape. The University will take appropriate action to prevent, correct, and discipline behavior that is found to violate campus policy or regulations proscribing rape* or sexual assault.
*Except where otherwise necessary, this policy will hereinafter refer to both rape and sexual assault simply as "sexual assault."
The campus' first responsibility in responding to reports of sexual assault is attending to the needs of the individuals involved (e.g., the student who reports being sexually assaulted, roommates, family members, and close friends). All reports of sexual assault are taken with the utmost seriousness, and the student will be referred to the appropriate persons or units for assistance. The campus is also responsible for ensuring that the individual charged with committing the assault is treated fairly. The alleged assailant will be presumed innocent until proven guilty and will be referred to appropriate services for assistance.
Established principles of confidentiality, arising under policy and law, and recognition of the concern for privacy inherent in allegations of sexual misconduct are maintained. To protect the individual's privacy rights, the names of individuals or other identifying information, especially that contained in written documents and notes, will only be disclosed to third parties if prior written permission is givenby the individual concerned or to those authorized by state or federal law to receive such information.
II. APPLICABLE STANDARDS
This policy addresses sexual misconduct only as it affects Berkeley students, both as those who report being sexually assaulted and as those who have been charged with the commission of such an offense. Other policies may also apply to non-students alleged to have committed rape or sexual assault. The Faculty Code of Conduct, as adopted through resolution of the Academic Senate, outlines ethical and professional standards which University faculty are expected to observe. It also identifies various forms of unacceptable behavior which are applicable in cases of sexual harassment and outlines sanctions and disciplinary procedures. For staff members, existing provisions of Staff Personnel Policy, Administrative and Professional Staff Program Policy, Management and Professional Program Policy, Executive Program Policy, or memoranda of understanding prohibit conduct which violates law and University policy, and provide for disciplinary action for inappropriate conduct.
This policy defines the acts of sexual misconduct prohibited by the Campus Code of Student Conduct, and provides guidance on what students should do if they have been sexually assaulted and what the campus will do if a sexual assault occurs. A student alleged to have engaged in sexual misconduct can be prosecuted under California criminal statues and/or disciplined under the Campus Code of Student Conduct. For language concerning the criminal standards that may apply to these complaints, please refer to the California Penal Code.
The Campus Code of Student Conduct prohibits rape, sexual assault, or sexual harassment by students. The following policy definitions apply: A. Rape is defined to include all acts of sexual intercourse involving penetration imposed under the following circumstances:
B. Sexual assault is defined as the imposition of non-consensual sexual conduct excluding rape, including but not limited to oral copulation, penetration by a foreign object, or caressing, fondling, or touching of a person's genitalia, buttocks, or breasts. A student found guilty of committing sexual assault under the Code is subject to dismissal by the University.
C. Consent is defined as positive cooperation in act or attitude pursuant to an exercise of free will. The individuals consenting must act freely and voluntarily and have knowledge of the nature of the act or transaction involved. It is a defense to the allegation of non-consent that a defendant held a reasonable and good faith belief that the complainant was consenting. A current or previous dating relationship is not sufficient to constitute consent. The determination regarding the presence or absence of consent should be based on the totality of circumstances, including the context in which the alleged incident occurred. The fact that an individual was intoxicated at the time may be considered in determining whether that person had consented to the act in question. Students should understand that consent may not be inferred from silence or passivity alone.
D. Sexual harassment is described in the Campus Code of Student Conduct and the Campus Policy on Sexual Harassment and Complaint Resolution Procedures. Copies are available from the Office of Student Conduct, 326 Sproul Hall, 643-9069, the Women's Resource Center, 250 Golden Bear Center, 643-5730, the Office of Student Life, 297 Golden Bear Center, 643-9260, or the Title IX Compliance Officer, 200 California Hall, 643-7985. Any violation of the Policy on Sexual Harassment constitutes a violation of the campus Code of Student Conduct.
E. The term "student" means an individual for whom the University maintains records and who: (a) is enrolled or registered with an academic program of the University; (b) has completed the immediately preceding term and is eligible for reenrollment, including the recess periods between academic terms; or (c) is on approved educational leave or other approved leave status, or is on filing-fee status.
Whether or not the criminal justice authorities choose to prosecute, the campus can pursue formal disciplinary action against a student alleged to have committed a sexual assault. Responsibility for pursuing campus disciplinary actions involving
students rests with the Office of Student Conduct. The campus has jurisdiction over offenses by students that occur on University property (such as classrooms and residence halls), in other locations in the immediate vicinity of the campus (such as nearby fraternity and sorority houses, the student co-ops, and apartment buildings), and at official University functions.
Pending a formal disciplinary hearing, the campus may take a variety of administrative measures against a charged student, including restriction of privileges and services, interim suspension, and exclusion from certain campus areas, such as classrooms and residence facilities. To prevent further conflict between the parties, the campus may utilize administrative reassignment procedures to move individuals to another residence hall or complex, limit access to a specific hall or complex during the course of a campus or criminal investigation, or make academic accommodations as appropriate for either party. Normal student conduct procedures will be followed in resolving allegations of sexual misconduct, with the following exception. A hearing in a case concerning allegations of sexual misconduct may be closed to the public if the hearing body determines that the privacy rights of a witness, including those of the individual who reports being sexually assaulted, may otherwise be jeopardized.
III. COORDINATION OF CAMPUS RESPONSE
The University has an obligation to communicate information regarding University policies, regulations, and procedures to concerned members of the University community, including family and friends of the students involved, and to the general public, and has a legal obligation to disclose the outcome of the discipline proceedings to the student who reports being sexually assaulted. Responsibility for coordination of the campus response is delegated to the Title IX Compliance Officer. Pursuant to federal Law, the University also has a legal responsibility for documenting and reporting the incidence of sexual assault on the Berkeley campus. This responsibility is delegated to the Campus Police Department.
IV. CAMPUS PREVENTION AND EDUCATION EFFORTS
The University of California at Berkeley employs a multifaceted approach to preventing sexual assault. The campus maintains the Sexual Assault Prevention, Medical and Counseling Service, housed at the University Health Services, and other prevention initiatives, including those housed within Undergraduate Affairs, in particular Student Activities and Services and the Women's Resource Center; the Campus Police Department; the Housing Office; and other campus units. These groups collaborate to distribute the Policy and Procedures Regarding Rape and Sexual Assault; to provide educational workshops to campus officials, staff, and students; and to develop and disseminate educational materials relating to the prevention of sexual assault.
More specifically, the following campus programs offer prevention and educational resources:
V. CAMPUS PROCEDURES FOR RESPONDING TO A SEXUAL ASSAULT
This section outlines the procedures the campus follows in responding to reports
of sexual assault allegedly committed by students. It assumes that the incident occurred on or near campus (at an official University function or on University property). However, many of the procedures and services described here also apply if the incident happens off campus or if the individual reporting the assault is not a student.
A. The campus provides confidential and trained assistance to individuals reporting a sexual assault. Primary assistance is provided through the Sexual Assault Prevention, Medical and Counseling Service at the University Health Services. Sexual Assault Prevention, Medical and Counseling Service offers both immediate and ongoing response to students, including confidential crisis counseling and assistance and advocacy with the initial medical evaluation, criminal and civil procedures, and academic and housing issues. The University Health Services also provides general medical care for students who report being sexually assaulted, and other services including pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease testing, and treatment for injuries sustained during an assault.
B. The Women's Resource Center provides initial crisis intervention and support throughout the complaint process as the student makes use of other campus services. The Center serves as a "home base" for students who report being sexually assaulted; it does not provide counseling therapy but provides information, advocacy, and support throughout the administrative process following a sexual assault.
C. The Housing Office provides a number of resources. Residential Life staff have received training in responding to students who are assaulted, including dealing with students' emotional distress, helping students access appropriate campus services, handling housing issues, and maintaining a healthy living environment in the residence unit as a whole.
D. Off-campus resources include local physicians, hospitals such as Alta Bates or Highland Hospital, community resources such as Bay Area Women Against Rape, and local law enforcement authorities, such as the Berkeley and Oakland City Police Departments.
A. With the consent of the student, a full police report will be taken by a Campus Police Officer who accompanies the student to the hospital. At the request of the student, a friend, family member, or other designated person may be present.
B. The officer will accompany the student to the hospital. The officer will advise the student regarding hospital procedures and the availability of assistance through University Health Services.
C. A Campus Police Detective shall be assigned to further investigate the criminal allegations and explain the legal process to the student. The Detective shall present a completed written investigation to the District Attorney's office for review and filing of criminal charges.
APPENDIX
UNITS PROVIDING SERVICES RELATED TO SEXUAL ASSAULT
The following alphabetical listing describes in detail how campus services and programs respond to incidents of sexual assault.
The ASUC Student Advocate's Office provides assistance to students who have been accused of sexual assault during the investigation and hearing processes. Advocates work to ensure that a student's rights are upheld throughout the discipline process and to ensure that a just and appropriate resolution is reached. Advocates may act as an accused student's sole non-legal representative or collaborate with her or his designated legal representative.
Residential Programs staff respond immediately upon hearing about a resident who reports being sexually assaulted, whether the assault is recent or in the past. The student is provided with immediate assistance and support. Residential Programs staff meet with the student who reports being sexually assaulted to assess the situation, provide information, and make appropriate referrals. If needed, Residential Programs staff make phone calls, schedule meetings, and accompany the student who reports being sexually assaulted to appropriate service units, such as the University Health Services (UHS), Women's Resource Center, University of California Police Department (UCPD) and the Title IX Office. Residential Programs staff will:
A. Provide the Student Who Reports Being Sexually Assaulted with Campus and Community Resources
B. Inform the Student Who Reports Being Sexually Assaulted of Options (what to do next)
Residential Programs staff work closely with the Title IX office by keeping the Title IX Compliance Officer informed of the sexual assault and of what options the student who reports being sexually assaulted wants to pursue. The student who reports being sexually assaulted can expect Residential Programs staff to continue to give support and assistance and make appropriate referrals to campus and/or community resources for as long as she/he needs. Regardless of what options the student who has been sexually assaulted decides to pursue, Residential Program staff may also meet with the alleged assailant if she/he is a residence hall student to discuss the incident in a non-hearing context and provide her/him information about the applicable rules.
0 The Ombudsperson for Students provides a confidential service for students involved in a University-related problem, acting as a neutral complaint resolver and not as an advocate for any of the parties involved in a dispute. The Ombudsperson can provide information on policies and procedures affecting students, facilitate students' contact with services able to assist in resolving the problem, and assist students in complaints concerning improper application of University policies or procedures.
Responsibility for pursuing campus disciplinary actions involving students rests with the Office of Student Conduct, which reports to the Director of Student Activities and Services. The office is also responsible for notifying the UC Police Department and Title IX Compliance Officer of any allegations of sexual assault. At the direction of the Title IX Compliance Officer, the Office of Student Conduct will conduct an investigation of the allegations in the case and interview any witnesses. The campus has jurisdiction over offenses by students that occur on University property (such as classrooms and residence halls), in other locations in the immediate vicinity of the campus (such as nearby fraternity and sorority houses, the student co-ops, and apartment buildings), and at official University functions.
Pending a formal disciplinary hearing, the campus may take a variety of administrative measures against a charged student, including restriction of privileges and services, interim suspension, and exclusion from certain campus areas, such as classrooms and residence facilities. To prevent further conflict between the parties, the campus may utilize administrative reassignment procedures to move individuals to another residence hall or complex, limit access to a specific hall or complex during the course of a campus or criminal investigation, or make academic accommodations as appropriate for either party.
Normal student conduct procedures will be followed in resolving allegations of sexual misconduct, with the following exception. A hearing in a case concerning allegations of sexual misconduct may be closed to the public if the hearing body determines that the privacy rights of a witness, including those of the individual who reports being assaulted, may otherwise be jeopardized.
The Attorney for Students serves as a counseling attorney who provides information on criminal laws, advice on whether to seek legal counsel, assistance for students who wish to defend themselves, and information on where to go for legal assistance. She does not represent students in legal proceedings.
The Title IX Compliance Officer has the responsibility of monitoring campus efforts to comply with federal and state laws pertaining to nondiscrimination on the basis of sex. This involves investigation and resolution of complaints alleging sex discrimination, including sexual harassment, responding to inquiries, and coordination of the campus efforts in response to allegations of sexual assault.
The Title IX Compliance Officer consults with the student who reports being sexually assaulted to determine if the student is prepared and willing to participate in the student conduct hearing process, considers alternative approaches if the student is unwilling to move forward in a hearing forum, meets with the accused student, and determines if student conduct charges are warranted. The Title IX Compliance Officer makes recommendations for administrative actions so that actions taken are fair, meet with standards of due process, and reflect the interests of the complainant and the University.
The Title IX Compliance Officer works with the University of California Police Department, University Health Services, Women's Resource Center, Housing and Dining Services, Office of Student Conduct, and other campus units as necessary, to ensure that a coordinated response is provided to resolve the situation.
The University Health Services maintains a specialized service for preventing and responding to sexual assault. This program, named the Sexual Assault Prevention, Medical and Counseling Service, is the collaborative effort of several units within the University Health Services as described below:
Prevention: Health Promotion (642-7202)
In collaboration with other campus units, Health Promotion staff coordinate in-service training programs for key campus officials and other staff who are in a position to prevent or respond to incidents of sexual assault. They also provide a wide range of educational workshops for students, including training programs for student leaders. This program develops and disseminates educational materials for the campus. Self-defense classes, specifically for women, are also offered in various formats several times a year. Additionally, staff are available to consult with campus departments on prevention strategies.
The educational workshops are available to classes, living groups, departments, and other organizations. Methods used to provide information and build skills include discussions, role playing, exercises, and videos. Professional staff and/or student peer educators facilitate the workshops. Topics for the workshops can include communication skills, gender roles and societal norms, legal issues, homophobia, racism, and the abuse of alcohol and other drugs.
Counseling: Social Services (642-6074) Counseling services for students who have been sexually assaulted are provided by several units within the University Health Services. The primary point of entry for a student who has been assaulted is Social Services, where the student can receive immediate counseling and information about medical options, criminal and civil procedures, and assistance with academic and housing concerns. Professional staff work with students who have been assaulted; counseling is available for friends, family, house mates and co-workers as well. The priority of the staff is to provide coordination of care for the student, which can include referrals to community agencies. For the student who is an alleged assailant, the primary point of entry for counseling is Counseling & Psychological Services (642-9494). This unit works to address the emotional needs of the student who is accused.
Medical Services:
Urgent Care Clinic (8 am - 8 pm)/24 hour advice line (642-3188)
General Medical Clinics (642-2000)
There are two options for medical services at the University Health Services. For immediate or crisis situations, including treatment for injuries, the Urgent Care Clinic is open 8 am to 8 pm, Monday-Friday, and 8 am to 5 pm on Saturdays (642-3188). Advice is available at the same phone number, after hours and on Sunday, to provide information and coordinate care. If requested, staff will also coordinate with local hospitals for evidence collection. For non-crisis situations the general medical services are available by appointment (642-2000). Services include testing for pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.
The University of California Police Department (UCPD) assists survivors in receiving medical treatment and reporting a sexual assault. It will investigate any criminal acts and seek prosecution, if desired, if the sexual assault occurred on campus or University property. If the sexual assault did not occur within UCPD jurisdiction, it will assist by contacting the appropriate agency.
When a student reports being sexually assaulted, she or he needs to receive medical attention immediately. If contact is made with UCPD, an officer will escort the survivor to the hospital for medical assistance and collection of evidence. The survivor may specifically request a male or female officer if one is available. The University Health Services is not designated as a medical evidence collection site. The UCPD will provide assistance even if the survivor prefers not to seek criminal prosecution.
Medical evidence for a criminal prosecution will not be collected without a report being made to the police. Under such circumstances, the state will bear the cost of the medical exam related to the assault. Survivors should not bathe, shower, or douche so that important medical evidence can be preserved.
UCPD will proceed only to the extent the survivor wishes. It is not necessary to prosecute the case through the criminal process if the survivor does not want to. If the assailant is a student, UCPD will assist the student conduct process, if desired, in conjunction with the criminal process or independent of it.
A. With the consent of the survivor, a full police report will be taken by a Campus Police Officer who accompanies the student to the hospital. At the request of the survivor, a friend, family member, or other designated person may be present.
B. The officer will accompany the survivor to the hospital. The officer will advise the survivor regarding hospital procedures and the availability of assistance through University Health Services.
C. A Campus Police Detective shall be assigned to further investigate the criminal allegations and explain the legal process to the survivor. The Detective will present a completed written investigation to the District Attorney's office for review and filing of criminal charges.
D. The Police Department will notify appropriate campus administrators. This notification is confidential. All campus departments must make notification of receipt of reports of sexual assault, but these notifications do not necessarily include identifying information about the survivor.
UCPD does not release additional information about the case without the consent of the survivor. The survivor has the right to request that her or his name and specific identifying information not be released, including through the court process to the extent allowed by law. The University follows established policies on disclosure of public information. Policies on release of information balance confidentiality for the survivor with the public's "right to know." Maintaining confidentiality for the survivor is a priority in cases of this nature. Certainly, if there is a likelihood that an incident could recur or that the perpetrator is at large and likely to commit a similar crime, the campus has an obligation to alert other members of the community. Any release of information about a crime of this nature will not include personally identifying information about the survivor.
The survivor may find assistance at the Women's Resource Center for a variety of services throughout the recovery and complaint process. The Center serves as a "home base" for survivors; it does not provide counseling therapy but provides information, advocacy, and support throughout the administrative process following a sexual assault.
Survivors may come or be referred to the Center specifically in response to a sexual assault or may reveal an assault after ostensibly coming to the Center for other reasons. In addition to directly working with the survivor, the Center works in close collaboration with the other units involved in a sexual assault.
In initial conversations staff will work with the survivor to determine her or his immediate needs. If it is a recent sexual assault, staff will help determine the need for medical attention; if it is a crisis situation, staff will contact Social Services on an emergency basis for counseling and medical treatment. Women's Center staff will help the survivor with notifying the Campus Police Department, arranging counseling, obtaining safe housing, meeting with parents, liaison with community agencies, assisting with restraining orders, and making appropriate academic accommodations such as requests for adjustments in course commitments as necessary. If needed, staff or peer advocates will accompany the survivor to the appropriate service; they can sit in on the meetings, take notes, and debrief with the survivor afterwards.
Center staff will also work with the survivor to determine long-term needs such as support and counseling, and information about the legal or disciplinary processes. Staff can arrange periodic "check-ins" to keep the survivor abreast of progress on her or his case if the survivor needs help getting information from the campus administration.
IF YOU ARE APPROACHED BY A STUDENT WHO HAS BEEN SEXUALLY ASSAULTED
If someone comes to you for help, recognize that the individual might be struggling with painful feelings -- anger, fear, denial, or embarrassment. Provide support and give the student assurance that there are campus resources available to help.
Be careful to maintain appropriate confidentiality in all of your interactions with others. Written reports concerning the incident can only be disclosed to campus officials with legitimate educational interests in the information or those authorized by campus policy to receive such information. For example, under federal law, the Campus Police Department must be notified that a sexual assault may have occurred. Any communications with other third parties, such as parents or friends, must have the prior written permission of the student.
If the student gives you permission, contact the Campus Police Department. An officer will be sent out to talk with the student and escort the student to the appropriate facility. Campus police officers have been trained to treat students with respect and sensitivity. They can ensure that a student who has been sexually assaulted receives prompt medical care at the appropriate facility. They will also talk with a student about reporting options and what happens if a report is filed. If the student decides to file a report, the Campus Police Department can advise and assist with medical evidence collection procedures. If the student is not ready to talk to the police, suggest that the student make use of other campus resources listed below or call community resources such as Bay Area Women Against Rape (845-7273).
The Sexual Assault Prevention, Medical and Counseling Service at the University Health Services can assist the student in a number of ways. These services can also provide support to UC staff and faculty who have questions about how to respond to a student in distress.
Confidential counseling is provided by Social Services staff specifically trained in sexual assault issues. Information and assistance is provided about criminal and civil procedures, academic and housing concerns, and medical options. Call 642-6074.
Medical care is available through the Urgent Care Clinic (642-3188). Services include treatment for injuries and testing for pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. Staff will also coordinate with local hospitals for evidence collection, if requested by the student.
Women's Resource Center, (643-5730) 250 Golden Bear Center, has staff who are available to talk to students who have been sexually assaulted and can escort them to appropriate services, stay in touch with the students, and follow up on any actions or problems.
Title IX Compliance Officer, (643-7985) 200 California Hall, monitors campus actions in handling sexual assault cases and can advise students on various course of action. Office of Student Conduct, (643-9069) 326 Sproul, is responsible for investigating incidents of sexual assault and charging alleged assailants.
Even if the student chooses not to go to the police, you need to contact the Campus Police Department after the student's immediate needs have been met to let them know that a sexual assault has been reported to you. Neither the police nor any other campus official will contact the student unless she or he is willing to file a report on the matter and to pursue a formal complaint.
If you have questions or concerns about the student or the campus response, you may contact the Title IX Compliance Officer (643-7985); e-mail address: tixco@uclink4.berkeley.edu.
