The Relationship Violence and Sexual Misconduct Expert Advisory Workgroup is composed of campus leaders with deep expertise in the areas of sexual assault and relationship violence (RVSM). With input from the community, the workgroup advises the president on best practices and makes recommendations about trauma-informed policies and programs to ensure that MSU is responsive to survivors.
In July 2019, the workgroup released a report summarizing the issues facing campus in its response to RVSM and outlining current initiatives and pending recommendations.
The MSU Police Department created the Center for Trauma-Informed Investigative Excellence, focused on sharing best practices in trauma-informed, victim-centered investigations of RVSM reports.
MSU Police are now the primary responding agency for the Eyde MSU Health Care clinics and offices to prevent gaps in incident reporting, to increase their physical presence, and to conduct safety and security trainings to clinic staff.
