UC San Diego does not tolerate sexual assault, sexual misconduct, relationship violence or sexual harassment. The University encourages anyone who has been sexually assaulted or subject to other forms of sexual misconduct, relationship violence or harassment to report the incident to University officials.
The remainder of this email provides general information about preventing and reporting a sexual assault and is not necessarily related to this incident.
Sexual assaults are never the fault of the survivor, and keeping UC San Diego safe is a community responsibility.
Receive affirmative consent from your partner before engaging in sexual activity. Consent is voluntary and it must be given without coercion, force, threats or intimidation and can be withdrawn at any time.
Perpetrators may attempt to use alcohol and/or drugs to facilitate a sexual assault. Alcohol or drugs is never an excuse for choosing to violate another person.
There are a number of drugs that may be added to beverages with the intent of altering the consciousness or incapacitating a person without their knowledge. These drugs are particularly dangerous when combined with alcohol, and often produce amnesia, leaving a victim unclear about what occurred afterward. These drugs can facilitate criminal activity, most often acts of sexual misconduct or sexual assault.
Ignorance of the law or of University policy concerning sexual assault, sexual misconduct, relationship violence and sexual harassment is never a defense.
You can help prevent sexual assaults by identifying common behaviors that often precede sexual assault, and taking action if you see those behaviors happening. Recognizable red flags include seeing someone who is attempting to separate an intoxicated individual from their friends, persistently pursuing an individual even when they make it clear they are not interested, using threats of violence to force an individual to do something they clearly do not want to do. You can help by attempting to reconnect someone who is intoxicated or exposed to any other risk with their friends, or agree to call a Community Service Officer (CSO) to escort that person home.
The UC San Diego Police Department encourages anyone who believes that they have been a victim of a sexual assault (or is the friend of someone who has been a victim of a sexual assault) to immediately contact local law enforcement. On‐campus, the UC San Diego Police Department can be reached at (858) 534-4357.

CARE advocates are available 24 hours a day at (858) 534-5793. For more information about CARE at SARC services, visit http://care.ucsd.edu.
The Office for the Prevention of Harassment & Discrimination serves as the non-confidential Title IX office at UC San Diego. Additional information on options for reporting sexual violence and resources for survivors can be found at OPHD’s website at http://ophd.ucsd.edu.
