11. Sexual violence prevention and response
How do you know…?
Sexual violence prevention and response
Training employees conduct Title IX investigations
Research?
Experience?
Context?
Effective prevention and awareness education SG
Training Employees:
Research – principles of adult learning (self-directed, goal-oriented, etc); retraumatization of survivors
Experiential– we know this is a challenging job, leads us to believe we need to train them on self-care and boundary-setting
Context – laws and interpretation of those laws are changing – teach them about Title IX laws, and also have a way to update them when anything changes; political contentious context – train them to separate that from their work.

What makes CofR unique:
forward facing: work with colleges and universities.
offers a holistic approach to sexual assault prevention and response.
3 Principles:
Evidence-based
Comprehensive approach - We look at this issue from an socio-ecological, public health perspective.

18. CORE Blueprint
ATK
More than 150 colleges and universities engaged with the CORE Blueprint and CORE Evaluation in 2014/2015 and their feedback called for additional support in realizing a strategic, comprehensive approach to eliminating campus sexual assault. Responding to this need, Culture of Respect launched the CORE Blueprint Pilot Program, a rigorous implementation of the CORE Blueprint and CORE Evaluation on 14 select campuses nationwide, coupled with a research project to assess the results.
Participating schools use the CORE Blueprint and CORE Evaluation to apply the leading practices in campus sexual assault prevention and response, building their capacity in all six Pillars of the CORE Blueprint while engaging in an ongoing process of feedback and reflection. The CORE Blueprint Pilot Program measures the impact of the program’s success in helping to shift a campus’s culture to one free from sexual violence while serving as an innovative model program that can be replicated at schools nationwide.
To maximize learning from the Pilot, Culture of Respect hired an expert researcher, Dr Jennifer Panagopolous, who has 25 years of experience conducting research and a specialty in campus sexual assault. She has worked with the Clery Center, the DOJ and many other institutions on this issue. Jennifer’s role is to help ensure the data collected and the analysis conducted reflect the impact of the CORE Blueprint Pilot in each’s schools efforts to better prevent and respond to campus sexual assault.

19. CORE Blueprint

20. The CORE Evaluation SG
For each institution, the first step in implementing the CORE Blueprint is completion of the CORE Evaluation.
Schools can use the CORE Evaluation to measure their progress as they answer the call to foster a Culture of Respect and ensure that all students are safe to pursue the promise of higher education.

Culture of Respect recruited 14 diverse colleges and universities from across the country. These include three Hispanic-serving institutions, two religious schools, one Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs) and a women’s only college. Participating schools are public and private, large and small, diverse in their settings. Consider these schools to be leaders in the field and we applaud them for their forward-thinking vision in approaching this issue holistically and comprehensively.

27. Participant Perspective

28. CSUSB Experience Why partner with Culture of Respect?
Deep respect for the members of the Advisory Board – I say “Yes” to what they support…
DAVID LISAK
Application of the public health model to shift the culture of rape to a culture of consent and justice ….makes GOOD sense
Eliminating SV is of the highest priority to ensure students’ current and future well-being and success
Why wouldn’t we say yes to expert support and feedback? … incredible opportunity BJ

30. What Works: Team Approach
“…the program has truly established this important work as being the responsibility of a multi-disciplinary team including student affairs, law enforcement, counseling and psychological services and legal counsel among others. Not one area can accomplish true culture change alone.” SG

31. What Works: Strategic Plan
“The CORE Evaluation truly gave our institution the direction we needed to accomplish our goals. In addition, working with the Culture of Respect team has been great as they provided a concrete Blueprint and constant support to our college through the process.” SG

32. What Works: Evaluation
“The Pilot Program prompted our institution to evaluate and reevaluate our campuswide efforts within an actionable framework that on the one hand provided us with some validation that we were going in the right direction, and at the same time helped us identify gaps which were preventing us still from achieving meaningful culture change.” SG

The first way is through the Culture of Respect Collective. Culture of Respect is applying what we have learned through the Pilot Program and scaling it up to make it available to schools nationwide. We are creating an online platform that will guide participating schools through the process that the Pilots went through, starting with the creation of a Campus Leadership Team, through the administration of the CORE Evaluation and creation of an IIP.
Virtual staff support at critical programmatic junctures such as the kick off, CORE Eval administration, debriefing CORE Eval results, and mid year check in.
Each institution will have an account in the platform and will assign users to guide their school through the process. Once a school logged into their account, they would be guided sequentially through the steps that the Pilot schools went through, with periodic virtual staff support at key junctures in the process. The tools and templates would be downloadable through the platform, which would also guide schools to major steps such as taking the CORE Evaluation and creating an IIP.
