The University of Iowa Anti-Violence Plan for Sexual Misconduct, Dating Violence, and Stalking: Fall 2021 – Fall 2024

The University of Iowa has a committed team working to prevent sexual misconduct, sexual harassment, dating violence, and stalking; provide trauma-informed care to survivors; implement a fair and equitable resolution process; and hold community members accountable for harm created.

 The new three-year Anti-Violence Plan (AVP) for sexual misconduct, dating violence, and stalking includes action items that build on existing programs, policies, and resources[1] and aligns with the 2020-2023 Office on Violence Against Women Campus Program Grant. At the core of all response actions taken by the University of Iowa is the commitment to supporting victim-survivors by respecting their rights and preferences while maintaining integrity in the due process given to all involved parties.

 The Plan focuses on prevention and education, intervention, and policy and is informed by data from the key findings of the third Speak Out Iowa campus climate survey (noted by numbers), evidence-informed efforts and practices (noted by letters), and input from members of the University of Iowa Anti-Violence Coalition (AVC), including students and other community stakeholders.
