    The petition calls for requiring rape crisis training for all UNT housing hall directors, resident life advisors, and desk clerks to better respond to reports of sexual assault on campus. It notes that approximately 1 in 5 college women experience rape or attempted rape each year, but fewer than 5% of such assaults are reported. At UNT specifically, it estimates 737 rapes per year but only 3 reports from 2009-2011. The petition proposes training staff to immediately assist victims, follow emergency procedures, and provide information on local support resources.

    Petition to Require Rape Crisis Training for All UNT Housing Hall Directors, Resident Life Advisors, and

    Desk Clerks

    BECAUSE:
    Approximately 1 in 5 college women will experience rape or attempted rape.* o (At UNT: ~ 737 rapes / year). Fewer than 5% of attempted/completed rapes are reported to law enforcement.* o (At UNT: ~ 37 expected reports / year). UNTs Division of Student Affairs acknowledges a total of THREE reports of forcible sex offenses on UNT campus for 2009, 2010, and 2011.**

    In an effort to increase the rate of reporting for sexual assault on UNT campus, as well as UNTs ability to respond to these reports, WE, THE UNDERSIGNED STUDENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS, PROPOSE THAT:
    UNT Housing shall assume responsibility for training all Hall Directors, Resident Life Advisors, and Desk Clerks in: o Immediate response and emotional support for victims of rape and sexual assault. o Emergency and reporting procedures for rape and sexual assault o General knowledge of local medical, legal, and support resources available to victims of rape and sexual assault, both on and off campus, 24-hours a day. Continuous efforts shall be made by UNT to promote the availability and ability of these staff to respond to rape and sexual assault including: o References made to available help in literature, presentations, and meetings related to UNT orientation and UNT Housing, as well as on UNTs web site. o Permanent and prominently displayed plaques near the front desks of all UNT housing buildings.
