15. brought to you by United Educators UE Study: “Confronting Campus Sexual Assault” 15 Claims Study First-year students = 54% of alleged victims

16. brought to you by United Educators Bystander Intervention at Rutgers  Important to help students understand theory, barriers to action, and effective steps – this requires practice  Full student prevention training program includes 7-9 “doses,” with SCREAM Theater as first dose  Later doses are optional and varied  Students come to campus with long-held beliefs about sexual violence; don’t expect these beliefs to change immediately Instead try to change underlying culture gradually 16 Education
