PURPOSE OF THE OVW CAMPUS PROGRAM The ultimate objective of the Campus Program is to help colleges and universities create effective, comprehensive responses to sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence and stalking. A comprehensive approach includes both prevention and intervention and requires a multi-faceted, coordinated effort that engages key stakeholders from the surrounding community and throughout the campus, including students, faculty, staff, and administrators. To meet this objective, the Campus Program has identified three overarching program goals that include several Core elements: Goal 1: Broad campus and community engagement; Goal 2: The reduction of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking; Goal 3: Effective intervention. The three overarching goals will be carried out through efforts in five areas: (1) A coordinated community response team (CCRT); (2) Comprehensive Prevention; (3) Student conduct; (4) Law enforcement; (5) Victim services. All grant activities should support and promote Clery and Title IX compliance, robust efforts to engage men, and cultural competence. A coordinated community response approach ensures a timely, culturally relevant and respectful response to sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence and stalking committed on or off campus. Implementing such an approach requires establishing a (CCRT). This team coordinates all prevention and intervention efforts; facilitates communication between key campus departments and community partners; ensures messages across efforts are consistent and reinforced; and ensures the system’s response to victims is seamless, consistent, and supportive.

Commitment to Diversity Walsh University is committed to increasing diversity on campus. Along with enrollment growth, the university has expanded services to meet the needs of a multicultural campus. Further, in 2015 Walsh University’s President appointed a Chief Diversity Officer to lead this campus initiative. The following year, a Diversity Council was developed involving all campus constituents to identify critical areas in need of development and to design programs to meet those needs; to increase diversity and inclusion in students, faculty and staff populations; and to ensure that effective systems are in place to help prevent - and to address - incidents of bias.

“The Walsh University Mission compels us to be a beacon of light and hope to all who become part of the university family. One of our Core values is respect for everyone, and we are committed to creating, advocating for, and maintaining in all areas of campus life an inclusive environment that respects, supports, and values the uniqueness of all individuals as children of God. We seek student and workforce diversity, and diversity in our service providers and suppliers. We strive to create an environment where people believe they are valued and appreciated because they are.” ~Walsh University Commitment to Diversity statement, President Richard Jusseaume

Crime Statistics - Campus As required by federal law, Walsh University annually publishes the Annual Safety & Security Report and Fire Safety Report, which is sent electronically to all current students and employees. Printed copies are also available in the following campus offices: Campus Police, Student Affairs, Admissions, Human Resources, and each Residence Hall Director/Coordinator office.

Further, the crime stats are published by the Department of Education, annually. Walsh University’s yearly crime statistics are compiled on a calendar-year basis in accordance with the definitions of crimes provided by the FBI for use in the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) system. The report includes statistics for three calendar years and includes reported crimes that occurred on campus or in Walsh’s Clery Geography, as defined by the Department of Education. Statistical information is collected from Canton and Springfield Township police departments and the Stark County Sherriff’s Office for certain off-campus buildings or property owned or controlled by Walsh University, as well as public property within or immediately adjacent to and accessible from the campus.

These statistics represent crimes reported to Campus Police, as well as to other campus officials with significant responsibility for student and campus activities (known as Campus Security Authorities). These statistics include individuals referred for campus disciplinary action for all categories required under the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security and Campus Crime Statistics Act. Beginning with the 2013 calendar year, this report also includes statistics regarding the number of reported incidents of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence and Stalking. Information about victim services and resources are also available within this report in compliance with the spirit and intention of the Violence Against Women Act, as well as the resulting proposed Clery Act revisions.

As detailed in the Walsh University Fall 2018 Annual Safety & Security Report (calendar year 2017), the following crimes were reported:

Crime Statistics – Greater Community The Walsh University campus is located within a fairly suburban Ohio community, but within 2 miles of the much larger city of Canton. While 54% of students live on campus, 46% of our students commute from within and beyond this area. The number of rapes committed in North Canton/Canton has fluctuated from 74 in 2013, to 94 in 2014, 72 in 2015, and 91 in 2016.

www.city-data.com Campus Climate Survey Walsh University’s first Campus Climate Survey (2016) was designed by the Ohio Department of Education (ODHE) and the Ohio Domestic Violence Network, and was designed to: 1. Assess the prevalence of sexual violence among students; 2. Assess the campus climate related to risks and protective factors related to sexual violence, 3. Assess student knowledge about resources related to sexual violence; and 4. Obtain information that will inform future prevention efforts.

Walsh’s results revealed the following: (n=412) ● 20.1% of respondents have had a “friend or acquaintance tell me they were a victim of relationship violence since the start of

the academic year.” 75 incidents occurred on campus; 98 occurred off campus. ● 37.6% of respondents reported that they believe sexual violence is a problem on campus. ● 16.3% of respondents have had a friend or acquaintance tell them they were sexually assaulted (raped, sexually harassed or

stalked) since the start of the academic year. 54 people reported awareness of an incident occurring on campus; 65 people reported awareness of an incident occurring off campus.

● Students believe that bystanders on campus would: confront other students about sexual comments or gestures—41.1%; allow personal loyalties to get in the way of reporting sexual assault—50.0%; and choose not to report sexual assault out of concern for someone getting punished—40.3%.

● 22.09% of Walsh University students participated in trainings on policies and procedures regarding incidents of sexual assault. ● 23.06% of Walsh University students participated in trainings on prevention of sexual assault. ● 40.53% of Walsh University students know the contact information to get support on campus for sexual violence. ● 42.72% of Walsh University students knew the contact information to get support off-campus for sexual assault.

Walsh University’s second Campus Climate Survey (2018) was designed by the Ohio Department of Education (ODHE) and the Ohio Alliance to end Sexual Violence, and was conducted in April 2018. The Profile Report was prepared by Sharon M. Wasco, PhD 2018

Major Findings:

Less than half of Walsh students (30%) report received training on sexual misconduct prevention. Students at Walsh who did receive training reported greater knowledge of campus policies and procedures than students who did not receive training.

Bystander interventions are more frequently reported at Walsh. Compared to other campuses in Ohio, slightly more Walsh students observe situations that could have led to sexual misconduct (14% at Walsh vs. 13% at other campuses). After witnessing sexual misconduct, more students at Walsh (44%) intervened than students on other campuses (40%).

Community readiness for prevention at Walsh, as indicated by employees’ self-ratings, is at stage 7 of 9, called stabilization. At this stage of readiness, prevention activities are usually supported by administrators; and responsible staff are trained and experienced with the issue at hand, in this case, sexual misconduct.

Self-reported prevalence of four types of sexual misconduct and intimate partner violence are similar at Walsh as on other campuses in Ohio.

5

About 1 in 7 students who experienced sexual misconduct (14%) made a formal report of what happened. Compared to other student survivors in Ohio, almost 4 times as many Walsh students who experience sexual misconduct did not report because they ”did not know the reporting procedures on campus.” Over three quarters of those who use Walsh’s procedures for reporting are satisfied with the response.

At Walsh, neither upstander actions nor chilling behaviors are perceived to be normative among students. Behaviors that are believed to have a chilling effect on reporting, e.g., labeling students who report as troublemakers, are not perceived as normative at Walsh, which is consistent with the finding that more student survivors use Walsh’s formal reporting procedures than at other Ohio campuses. However, upstander norms, such as being willing to confront other students or be interviewed as a witness in a sexual misconduct case, are also not considered the norm, despite the evidence that more Walsh students intervene in situations of sexual misconduct.

Implications:

Sexual misconduct prevention training should be expanded until all students and employees have received training. Students who received prevention training report greater knowledge; thus, Walsh University should develop strategies to provide additional training on campus.

Upstander behavior and positive social norms among students can be strengthened to become driving forces for preventing and addressing sexual misconduct at Walsh. Upstander behaviors are an emerging trend at Walsh, and students could benefit from additional bystander empowerment training and messaging. Additional data is required to further assess social norms; if there are misperceptions between beliefs and actions, this campus may be appropriate for social norms strategies for culture change. Students were outspoken in the comments section of the surveys, which has generated qualitative data (see Appendix B) that may contain insights into how to further engage students in campus efforts.

With evidence of a fairly strong comprehensive response to sexual misconduct on campus (i.e., tertiary prevention), the focus of Walsh campus change work should expand to prioritize primary prevention, with an emphasis on evidence-based bystander empowerment strategies.

The goal for a campus at stage 7 prevention readiness is to stabilize sexual misconduct prevention programs through diversified financial support, program evaluation, quarterly meetings, recognition events for local supporters/volunteers, publicity efforts, etc.

Summary of the Problems Walsh is concerned that sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence and stalking (SADDVS) are significant, but underreported, problems on campus based on information from the Association of American Universities (AAU), the results from Walsh’s Campus Climate Survey and reports from the university’s student Counseling Services (CS). The AAU survey included more than 150,000 students at 27 universities. It noted that among undergraduate students, 23.1% of females and 5.4% of males experience sexual assault through physical force, violence or incapacitation.1 It also noted that overall reporting rates were low, ranging from 5%-28%. The most common reason for not reporting was that the incident was not considered serious enough. Other reasons cited were that respondents felt

Survey on Sexual Assault and Sexual Misconduct (September 21, 2015).

“embarrassed, ashamed or that it would be too emotionally difficult,” and because they “did not think anything would be done about it.” 2

Walsh University is well integrated into the surrounding community, allowing community members to feel comfortable walking through the campus, attending functions and making use of public facilities. While community “ownership” of campus is positive in that it fosters a community spirit, it also allows for significant, uncontrolled access to campus by persons who are not a part of the University. Further, a Stark County walking path runs along the back of the north property, bringing community members into contact with the campus constituents in the least populated/trafficked areas.

Another safety concern is the absence of public-access phones or other means to call for emergency assistance on campus other than by using personal cell phones, which many lower-income students cannot afford. The isolation of the athletic fields and park can create a risk for students, employees, and guests who may not be carrying and/or have a personal phone.

According to Walsh’s Counseling Services departmental reports, in 2015-2016, 14 students requested assistance to deal with issues of sexual/physical assault and acquaintance rape and one student reported being stalked. 2016 - 2017 = 15 students requested assistance for sexual/physical assault, acquaintance rape and/or stalking.

Federal regulations, Walsh’s current commitments to the ODHE Changing Campus Culture program, and NCAA initiatives, have provided Walsh with a basic framework for campus response to and education about sexual violence. This framework, in addition to ongoing collaboration amongst Walsh administrators, has assisted the university in identifying a compelling need to address seven priority areas of concern related to SADDVS.

Walsh University Areas of Concern Related to SADVDVS

1. Strengthening campus policies, procedures and services to more effectively respond to SADVDVS.

2. Implementing enhanced educational programs for the prevention and reporting of SADDVS.

3. Strengthening the assistance and information provided to victims of SADVDVS.

4. Installing blue security light/emergency telephone poles to offer greater security on campus.

5. Creating a coordinated system for reporting, investigating and responding to any incidents of SADDVS and building student confidence in using that system.

6. Providing culturally sensitive and accessible education and resources for the entire campus community.

7. Addressing possible cultural differences and misunderstandings with International Students and their American peers.

Part 1: COORDINATED COMMUNITY RESPONSE TEAM (CCRT)

OVW Campus grant requirement: “Create a CCRT that includes internal and external partners (external criminal justice system

entity, external victim service provider, all specified internal partnerships) and a full-time project coordinator position.”

CCRT Mission Statement

The CCRT of the Cavalier Safeguard Initiative is a collaborative body of campus and community experts who provide the Walsh University community with inclusive, culturally-competent and trauma-focused education, safety and prevention efforts to end sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, and stalking.

Background and Rationale for CCRT Goals and Action Steps

History of Campus and Community Collaborative efforts

Prior to the award of this grant, Walsh University did not have a coordinated community response team specifically addressing issues of gender-based violence on campus. However, Walsh University has outreached in the past to its community partners - including COMPASS (Sexual Assault Education, Prevention & Support) (COMPASS) [as well as their predecessor (now closed), the Rape Crisis Center through the American Red Cross], Domestic Violence Project, Inc. (DVPI) and Victim-Witness Services of the Stark County Prosecutor’s office- who have graciously collaborated for education programs on campus and for training of key campus personnel. Collaborations have included training of the Residence Life professional and paraprofessional staff, consultations with the Walsh University Police Department, and presentations during Domestic Violence Awareness and Sexual Assault Awareness months. Further, Campus Police and campus counselors have outreached to the community agencies described above to provide victim services to members of the Walsh University community.

Campus collaborations occur in response to addressing significant issues on campus, and include those involving indirectly identified incidences of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence and stalking through the University’s CARe (early-behavioral intervention) Team. This body, which is chaired by the Executive Director of Counseling and Health Services, has existed since 1995 and consists of the Vice President for

Student Affairs, the Dean of Students, the Associate Vice President and Dean of Academic Administration, the Assistant Director of Athletics; the Director of Multicultural Affairs, the Director of Campus Ministry, the Chief of Campus Police, and the Assistant Dean of Students/Chief Housing Officer. This body meets weekly, and as needed, to ensure seamless support services are available to victims/survivors, to address the needs of those involved in and/or impacted by incidents, and to provide continued outreach/support to victims/survivors. No assessment data exists regarding the issues addressed and those assisted throughout the process.

Functioning Members of the CCR Core Team began development of the Strategic Plan initially through the sessions at TTI #1 in Atlanta, Georgia. Members of the Core Team met during the month of May and early June 2018 as a group and/or by strategic planning track with the Project Director for the initial development of the Strategic Plan sections. The CCR Core Team continued to evaluate the document prior to and during TTI #2 and through October 2018 before submitting to OVW for final approval. Further development of the CCR work groups began immediately after the submission of the first draft of the Strategic Plan. After feedback from TA providers was received, each work group reviewed and provided additional revisions to inform the version of the document submitted to OVW for approval. After the University receives approval from OVW, each work group will be charged with implementing action steps through Years 2 and 3. The Project Coordinator will attend all CCR Core Team and CCR work group meetings to facilitate their work and/or ensure compliance with grant expectations. In addition, the Project Coordinator will facilitate assessment of progress, maintain appropriate record keeping for Walsh University and OVW compliance, and ensure ongoing identification of the needs, challenges and strengths of the CCR Core Team and CCR work groups. Work group chairs have been identified by the Project Director and Project Coordinator. They are charged with facilitating work group meetings and working closely with the Project Coordinator to ensure progress on strategic planning action items. Chairs will attend meetings of the CCR Core Team to provide reports and agenda items, as needed and requested.

CCRT’s capacity to work collaboratively to identify unique campus needs, use data to create strategic plan, monitor the plan, and evaluate results. Many members of the CCRT have extensive histories in working together in the Canton and the greater Stark County community. Because of these relationships, CCRT members are able to speak frankly and appropriately challenge each other to examine perspectives differing from their own areas of expertise. These discussions have highlighted the importance of identifying a shared vocabulary and understanding about SADDVS across all service providers to ensure one consistent message (about available resources and agency/departmental policies and protocols) is communicated to the Walsh community.

CCRT members, including community partners, will have access to university assessment data – including but not limited to the results of the annual Campus Climate Survey and on-line education, programming and services in an effort to develop, present, evaluate and improve, where applicable, all campus initiatives related to sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence and stalking.

The CCRT recognizes the need to establish a system to evaluate CCRT progress, member satisfaction with leadership, progress towards goals and the current structures in place. Through regular review of progress, the CCRT will be able to recognize successes of individuals and work groups, identify deficiencies, address changing needs of the student population and evaluate grant efforts while making any necessary adjustments. Assessment data from preventative education programs and Walsh University assessments - in addition to assessments created for the CCRT - will be used to ensure effective monitoring of group efforts and products/services.

CCRT strengths, needs, and gaps in this area.

Strengths: ● The background of individual members of the CCR Core Team demonstrates extensive expertise in the Track areas of student conduct,

comprehensive prevention, victim services and law enforcement. ● Long-standing relationships between members of the University and its community partners have resulted in the quick development of

good rapport and an ability to have frank communication. Challenges:

● Walsh University’s grant application did not outline hiring the Project Coordinator until mid-way through the first year. This has provided a challenge in making significant progress on the Strategic Plan for a month following TTI #1, resulting in a delay in the completion of the first draft. The Project Coordinator was hired on July 16, 2018, resulting in substantial accomplishments with the CCRT and enhanced relationships with the TA consultants for the grant since that time.

● Many members of the CCRT work groups from Walsh University are not on 12-month contracts. The CCRT will need to early identify any needs for the summers of 2019 and 2020 to ensure the work groups continue to make progress during times when university personnel are not on contract.

● Walsh University transitioned to a new Director of Multicultural Affairs and will prioritize her ability to meaningfully contribute to the grant work. She has been added as a member of the Core Team to ensure cultural competency is infused throughout the efforts of all of the CCR work groups.

11

Gaps: ● The CCRT is least experienced in the competency area of Engaging Men. This is also the topic where the strongest opinions are

expressed by members from the CCRT. Fortunately, members of the Comprehensive Prevention work group from DVPI and COMPASS, as well as the Project Coordinator, do have experience with engaging men initiatives, and have provided early but critical challenges to

Walsh’s current efforts to ensure appropriate messaging and recruiting strategies are utilized. A thorough review of best practices will be critical to ensure effectiveness in this area.

Year 2 Goals and Action Steps: CCRT Goal 1: By the end of Year 1, Walsh University will have established a Coordinated Community Response Team (CCRT) for the Cavalier Safeguard Initiative and will have worked collaboratively to define and achieve its purpose and articulate its specific action steps in order to develop an effective team that works together to accomplish the components outlined in our strategic plan by the end of Year 2.

PART 2: COMPREHENSIVE PREVENTION

16

OVW Campus grant requirements: “(1) Mandatory prevention and education program for all incoming students about sexual

assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking that includes information, awareness, and resources including student code of conduct. (2) Mechanism to fully account for the participation of each student in the prevention and education program. (3) Universal approach that includes an ongoing prevention program on sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking for the entire campus community (including faculty, staff, administrators). (4) Bystander intervention program for all students.”

Background and Rationale for Goals and Action Steps: Comprehensive Prevention Prevention-specific data & background, description of current efforts, and strengths, needs, and gaps in this area.

Relevant Prevention Data

2016 Campus Climate Survey - Walsh University’s first Campus Climate Survey (2016) was designed by the Ohio Department of Education (ODHE) and the Ohio Domestic Violence Network, and was intended to: 1. Assess the prevalence of sexual violence among students; 2. Assess the campus climate related to risks and protective factors related to sexual violence, 3. Assess student knowledge about resources related to sexual violence and; 4. Obtain information that will inform future prevention efforts.

Walsh’s results revealed the following related to Student Education, Efforts and Knowledge: (n=412)

● On a scale of 1=Strongly disagree to 4=Strongly agree, Walsh University students averaged 3.24 in confidence that the campus would follow formal procedures to address complaints of sexual assault fairly; this compared to 3.18 for all Ohio private colleges.

● 22.9% of Walsh University respondents indicated they had received training on the policies and procedures regarding incidents of sexual assault; this compared to 40.58% of respondents for all Ohio private colleges.

● 23.06% of Walsh University respondents indicated they had received training on the prevention of sexual assault; this compared to 33.82% of respondents for all Ohio private colleges.

● Walsh University students also reported on their desire to learn more about sexual assault on campus and how active they are in projects and efforts to address sexual assault (1 = Strongly Disagree, 2=Disagree; 3=Neither agree or disagree; 4=Agree; 5=Strong Agree)

● I am planning to learn more about the issue of sexual violence on campus = 2.7 Walsh average ● I have recently attended a program about sexual violence = 1.87 ● I am actively involved in projects to address sexual violence on campus = 1.68 ● I have been or am currently involved in ongoing efforts to end sexual violence on campus = 1.71

2018 Campus Climate Survey – Walsh University’s second Campus Climate Survey (2018) was designed by the Ohio Department of Education (ODHE) and the Ohio Alliance to end Sexual Violence, and was conducted in April 2018. (n=419)

Walsh’s results revealed the following related to Student Education, Efforts and Knowledge:

● 26.73% of Walsh University respondents indicated they had received training on the prevention of sexual assault; this compared to 63.09% of respondents for all Ohio private colleges.

● On a scale of 1=Not useful to 5=Extremely useful, the 26.73% who reported to have received sexual assault prevention education averaged a 3.57 compared to 3.33 for average for students from all Ohio private institutions.

On a scale of 1=Not at all likely to 5=Extremely likely:

17

● Walsh University students averaged 3.94 in the belief that campus officials would take action to address factors that may have led to the sexual misconduct; this compared to 3.78 for all Ohio private colleges.

On a scale of 1=Strongly disagree to 4=Strong Agree: ● Walsh University students averaged 2.08 to describe if they were actively involved in activities to address sexual misconduct; this

compared to 2.23 for all Ohio private colleges. Pre-Grant Prevention and Education Efforts

A description of the effectiveness of pre-grant efforts

● Campus Clarity – Report run by the administrator to the program, the average feedback score is a 3.95/5 overall rating. While many students comment about the length of the course, most also comment on the importance of the content covered and the realistic scenarios.

● Building Bridges – Report run by the administrator to the program revealed the average feedback score was a 4.22/5 overall rating. There were a few comments about the length of the program and difficulties with navigation, but overall the participants appreciated the training, and particularly valued the sections where content was provided on how to speak to students about critical topics associated with SADDVS.

● Other Walsh University programming initiatives are not formally assessed on a regular basis, which is an area the university is currently addressing.

Priority populations for prevention programming, opportunities or challenges for engaging them

International Students - Walsh officials have determined that one of the most underserved populations on campus is International Students. Walsh’s International students hail from 33 countries and represent 5.7% of the student body. Walsh has learned in the past that a lack of cross-cultural competence between both American and International students can lead to misunderstandings or even acts of gender-based violence. The need for cultural competence is critical in preventative education planning and delivery to adequately respect Walsh’s International Student population and to meet their individual needs.

Opportunities – Dedicated International Student Orientation provides an opportunity for population specific training upon arrival to the USA and Walsh University; commitment of the Director of International Student Programs & Services and the World Student Organization Challenges – Ensuring the differences among cultures are respectfully addressed, and that the university can identify and address issues from the 30+ countries and varying cultures within those countries. Tribal, religious, and gender issues (to name a few) will need to be thoroughly researched and best practices will need to be identified for the effectiveness of our efforts. While English competency is required for all of Walsh’s international students, non-native English speakers may have difficulty comprehending some content.

Students with Disabilities

Hearing disabilities - Although relatively small, another underserved campus population includes students with hearing disabilities. Currently nine students are identified as deaf/hard of hearing, with two deaf faculty members. Walsh is actively concerned with accommodating their needs and providing for their complete inclusion in campus life. Their needs are currently addressed through transcribers, captioning services and sign language interpreters.

Opportunities – Working closely with Triad Deaf Services, Walsh is eager to ensure their sign language interpreters are trained on the appropriate language and trauma-informed methods to facilitate the victims. This training will benefit not only Walsh University, but also all victims/survivors reporting to hospitals in Stark County.

22

Challenges – Searching for best practices in this area has proven to be initially difficult. Walsh will continue to seek out this information.

Learning disabilities – As discovered during our CCRT meetings, it will be important to pay close attention to individual learning styles, ensuring accessibility of CSI programming and resources.

Opportunities – Creating accessible resources for the presentation of preventative education efforts, in the delivery of online information and with programming supplements. Challenges – Learning disabilities and preferred learning styles vary by the individual. Some do not share this personal challenge out of embarrassment, while others may not be aware of their particular issue.

Key gaps between requirements and best practices for comprehensive prevention and your current efforts The greatest needs for Walsh University are:

● Development of a comprehensive preventative education program – with programming beyond the current offerings - that is based on best practices and is research-based.

● Development of a formal calendar of programming to meet the needs of the campus community and ensure compliance with Clery standards.

● Increase the buy-in and involvement of university faculty and staff in the presentation of SADDVS education ● Based on student requests, the development of a student group to encourage student initiatives and contribute to SADDVS

programming support.

Year 2 Goals and Action Steps: Comprehensive Prevention

Goal 1: By the end of year 2, Walsh will increase preventative education on campus to include an evidence-based and/or research-informed

PART 3: STUDENT CONDUCT

28

OVW Campus grant requirements summarized: “Training for all people involved in the student conduct or resolution process

(i.e. investigators, board, appeals, sanctions, etc.) to respond effectively to situations involving sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence and stalking. Training reflects best practices and conducted by someone with demonstrated expertise. Participation of campus disciplinary board members and/or hearing officers on the CCRT.” to train all people involved in the student conduct or resolution process (i.e. investigators, board, appeals, sanctions, etc.)

Background and Rationale for Goals and Action Steps: Student Conduct Relevant Student Conduct and Policy Data

2016 Campus Climate Survey - Walsh University’s first Campus Climate survey (2016) was designed by the Ohio Department of Education (ODHE) and the Ohio Domestic Violence Network, and was intended to: 1. Assess the prevalence of sexual violence among students; 2. Assess the campus climate related to risks and protective factors related to sexual violence, 3. Assess student knowledge about resources related to sexual violence and; 4. Obtain information that will inform future prevention efforts.

Walsh’s results revealed the following related to Student Conduct and University Policies: (n=412)

On a scale of 1=Strongly disagree to 4=Strongly agree: ● Walsh University students averaged 2.74 in understanding the university’s formal procedures to address complaints of sexual assault;

this compared to 2.76 for all Ohio private colleges. ● Students averaged 3.24 in confidence that the university will follow the formal procedures to address complaints of sexual assault fairly;

this compared to 3.18 for all Ohio private colleges.

On a scale of 1= Not at all likely to 4=Very likely: ● Students averaged 3.32 in belief that the university would take corrective action against the offender; this compared to 3.2 for all Ohio

private colleges. ● Students averaged 3.28 in belief that the university would take steps to protect the person making the report from retaliation; this

compared to 3.19 for all Ohio private colleges.

2018 Campus Climate Survey – Walsh University’s second Campus Climate Survey (2018) was designed by the Ohio Department of Education (ODHE) and the Ohio Alliance to end Sexual Violence, and was conducted in April 2018. (n=419) Walsh’s results revealed the following related to Student Conduct and University Policies:

On a scale of 1=Not at all knowledgeable to 4=Very knowledgeable: ● Walsh University students averaged 2.63 in knowledge regarding campus’ policies on sexual misconduct; this compared to 3.0 for all

Ohio private colleges. ● Students averaged 2.31 in knowledge of campus’ formal procedures to address complaints of sexual misconduct; this compared to 2.74

for all Ohio private colleges.

On a scale of 1=Strong disagree to 4=Strongly Agree:

29

● Walsh University students averaged a 3.36 in confidence that Walsh University would follow the formal procedures to address complaints of sexual misconduct; this compared to 3.30 for all Ohio private colleges.

On a scale of 1=Not at all likely to 5=Extremely likely: ● Walsh University students averaged 4.17 in belief that campus officials would take the report seriously; this compared to 4.08 for all

Ohio private colleges. ● Students averaged a 4.18 in belief that campus officials would support the person making the report; this compared to 4.00 for all Ohio

private colleges. ● Students averaged a 4.03 in belief that officials would take action against the alleged offender(s); this compared to 3.80 for all Ohio

private colleges. ● Students averaged 4.04 in belief that Campus officials would take steps to protect the person making the report from retaliation; this

compared to 3.88 for all Ohio private colleges. ● Students averaged 3.94 in belief that campus officials would take action to address factors that may have led to the sexual misconduct;

this compared to 3.78 for all Ohio private colleges.

Also, refer to Crime Statistics – Campus on page 3 of this document for additional student conduct violations for the 2014, 2015 2016, and 2017 calendar years.

Conduct-related policies, procedures and protocols

● PHYSICAL OR MENTAL ABUSE, SEXUAL ABUSE, SEXUAL MISCONDUCT AND SEXUAL MOLESTATION MANDATORY REPORTING POLICY Walsh University’s “zero-tolerance” policy for all employees, volunteers and staff members. Walsh adopted mandatory procedures that employees, volunteers, family members, board members, individuals and victims must follow when they reasonably suspect, learn of or witness prohibited conduct. The policy also provides for confidential reporting. Implemented 2/2017

● Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Stalking policy – including definitions, notification of severity of possible sanctions that could include removal from the institution, commitment to respect of each individual. Last revised 8/2016

● Violent Offenses – including Direct Threat Protocols, emergency removal, and description of protocols involving the formal assessment of perpetrator and if applicable, conditions, which must be met if, requesting return to the campus community. Last revised 8/2015

● Student Code of Conduct – in which physical and verbal abuse, sexual assault, and any violation of federal, state, and municipal laws are included as violations. Sexual Assault or attempted sexual assault are violations of the highest level of our conduct standards (Level IV: Suspension or Expulsion Status). Last revised 8/2016

● Procedures for Institutional Action in Cases of Alleged Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, Gender-Based Complaints, Stalking and Retaliation - This policy outlines the university’s authority, how to file complaints, student and respondent’s rights, investigations, intermediate measures, timeline, mediation (not available for sexual assault), standard of proof, sanctions for both students and employees, and appeals. Last revised 12/2015

A description of current training for student conduct boards, (other roles).

● Judicial Hearing Officers – training on university policy and protocols, including those listed above. Training provided by Counseling Services and Stark County Prosecutor’s office regarding Victim Support. Conducted annually as part of the Hearing Officer Training.

30

● Student Conduct Board members – note: student conduct boards do not hear cases involving sexual assault, sexual harassment, domestic violence, dating violence and/or stalking. However, the Chief Judicial Officer recognizes the need for those questioning students and rendering decisions to be trauma informed in the event of disclosures or suspicions, which develop during a hearing process.

● Title IX Coordinator – extensive and ongoing training regarding the law, federal expectations regarding training, services and institutional policy development and review, trauma informed approaches for victims, investigatory procedures, evaluation of evidence, rendering decisions.

Key gaps between requirements and best practices for conduct and your current efforts Walsh University has the greatest need for the following:

● Formal evaluation of university policies, both content and delivery methods. ● Defining consent and incapacitation, and adding this to formal university policies. ● The development of protocols published in easy to understand formats, to improve accessibility of information for victims/survivors of

both varied learning styles/disabilities and for ease of understanding during the stages of trauma. ● Trauma training for all constituents involved in the reporting, investigation, hearing, decision and appellate processes.

Year 2 Goals and Action Steps: Student Conduct

Goal 1: By the end of year 2, our campus will have a more publicized, comprehensive and defined set of protocols that provide clear expectations for all students, staff and faculty when responding to gender-based violence on campus, and illustrate access to available resources.

PART 4: LAW ENFORCEMENT

OVW Campus grant requirements summarized: “Training for all campus security/law enforcement to effectively respond to

sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking. Training must include community first-responders including dispatchers. Training developed and presented in collaboration with community based victim advocacy experts and campus and local law enforcement partners.”

Background and Rationale for Goals and Action Steps: Law Enforcement Law Enforcement-specific data & background, description of current efforts, and strengths, needs, and gaps in this area.

Campus law enforcement The Walsh University police department is a sworn, commissioned state of Ohio law enforcement agency. The department is comprised of nineteen (19) sworn police officers. Walsh currently has three full-time officers, including the Chief and Assistant Chief. Six officers are retired from police agencies (Stark County Sheriff's Office, Canton Police Department, and North Canton Police Department). Four officers work full time for other police departments and carry a dual commission. The university currently has one reserve officer. The department has four certified instructors who teach Ohio Peace Officer Training Academy courses.

Relationship with external law enforcement agencies Walsh University enjoys a strong relationship with the Stark County Sheriff’s Department, the Canton Police Department and the North Canton Police Department. Walsh’s Chief of Police has ensured that consistent communication occurs, and has invited these agencies to campus-- thus promoting collaboration and external law enforcement agencies’ familiarity with the university facilities and personnel. SWAT team training has occurred at the Walsh University campus in the past and will again in the future.

Current trainings In 2017, the Ohio Peace Officer Commission required a minimum of twenty (20) hours of continuing professional training for every

commissioned officer. For 2018, the Ohio Peace Officer Commission recommended each officer complete 40 hours of continuing professional

development training. This organization has also communicated that the 40 hours of training will be mandated in the coming years and will

include topics of procedural justice, officer and community wellness, legal update (domestic violence), and general law enforcement. All Walsh

University officers completed this training, as well as additional training required by the State of Ohio and by Walsh University.

Even though officers have participated in the required training, Walsh needs to tailor its training to be uniform and university/department-

specific so that every Walsh University police officer acts consistently in responding to, reporting and investigating SADDVS incidents.

Year 2 Goals and Action Steps: Law Enforcement

Goal 1: By the end of year 1, Walsh will have identified and selected appropriate training for law enforcement to include sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, and stalking so that by the end of Year 2, Walsh will increase the amount of training for campus police officers, resulting in 100% of officers who have actively participated in regular training on SADDVS violence crimes.

Regular hours are Monday and Thursday: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., weekdays. The Executive Director is available 24/7 by phone and will respond in person for emergencies. Counseling staff offer individual counseling and referral to community organizations, the county prosecutor’s office and to national organizations such as Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network (RAINN) and The Crisis Text Line. CS, in partnership with Health Services (HS), the division of Student Affairs, Campus Police, Student Wellness Organization and the Active Minds club provide prevention and awareness education on campus through campus programming, special events and social media campaigns. CS created and coordinates the Campus Assistance and Response (CARe) Team, which proactively identifies and engages at-risk students identified by faculty and staff. The CARe Team is a collaborative effort between campus constituents that meets weekly to intervene and assist students, to promote student success and ensure a connection to the appropriate university personnel and services. The CARe Team also provides follow-up, referrals and resource information when necessary.

Health Services (HS) is located in the Wellness Center on the main campus. Regular hours are Monday and Thursday: 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Tuesday and Wednesday: 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Fridays: 9 a.m. to Noon. Walsh contracts with Aultworks, part of the Aultman Health Foundation, to provide a nurse practitioner and nurse to staff HS. Students must come to the North Canton campus to see a health professional. Students presenting with issues related to Sexual Assault, Dating Violence, Domestic Violence, and Stalking (SADVDVS) are assisted with immediate care, referral and transportation to Aultman Hospital for nursing care, evidence collection and support.

Community services are provided by three local agencies. COMPASS (Sexual Assault Education, Prevention & Support) offers a 24/7 crisis hotline, counseling, support groups, hospital and justice system advocacy and case management. The Domestic Violence Project, Inc. (DVPI) offers temporary emergency shelter, outreach and aftercare, transitional housing, hospital and justice system advocacy and a 24-hour crisis hotline. Victim-Witness Services within the Stark County Prosecutor’s Office (VS/SCPO) provides victim advocates, assistance with Victim Impact Statements, language interpreters, information about case status and hearing updates and referrals to support services.

private colleges. Key gaps between requirement and best practices for victim services and our current efforts Walsh University has the greatest need for the following:

● To increase the number of available options for confidential victim services and advocacy programs. ● Educating the campus community regarding the victim services which are available to them. ● Ensure victim services meet the needs for underrepresented populations, including male survivors, students with disabilities, and

multicultural populations. ● Education for responders, investigators, CCRT members and service providers on trauma-informed practices. ● Co-survivor identification, outreach and support systems.

Year 2 Goals and Action Steps: Victim Services

Goal 1: By the end of Year 2, Walsh University will increase the available options for 24/7, confidential victim services and advocacy programs to members of the campus community that are inclusive of university and CCRT-approved response protocols and processes; and are accessible to all survivors of gender-based violence, including students with disabilities, male survivors, international and multicultural survivors.
