Everyone deserves to feel safe. Every Oregon State University student has the right to pursue academic, social and work activities without fear or intimidation. Yet threats of relationship and sexual violence - from verbal harassment to physical assault - exist on this and other campuses. This site contains information about sexual assault, how to reduce your risk for experiencing or committing unwanted sexual contact, and the resources available for survivors of sexual assault. Help make Oregon State University a safer and more respectful environment for everyone.

If you or someone you know has been raped or sexually assaulted, remember that rape is never the fault of the victim/survivor. It is the fault of the rapist. Although you may feel powerless, overwhelmed, afraid, or angry, you have the right to regain control of your life. Oregon State University provides support services to assist you with reviewing options and making choices, and taking control.

Anyone can be raped, regardless of gender, age, or sexual orientation. This information is designed to help you answer some questions and to provide you with a listing of community and campus resources. Whether you are a survivor of sexual assault, a friend or relative of a survivor, or just someone who wants to know more, this information is for you. Please use the links to the left to select the type of information you are seeking, or to print an Unofficial Report Form for Sexual Assault.
