Slippery Rock University is once again among the 37 postsecondary institutions that will receive state funding to help prevent sexual assault and harassment on campus.
The grant program through the Department of Education is called “It’s On Us PA” and was established five years ago as the nation’s first statewide campaign to end sexual harassment and assault.
Colleges and universities can use the funding to create programs including training for students, faculty, and staff, as well as institutional campaigns to inform about the reporting process and resources for survivors. SRU will receive nearly $8,000 for the upcoming year.
Everyone is invited to take the “It’s On Us PA” pledge to help prevent, address and respond to sexual violence on campuses across the state.
