## Resource

0:01:00 New state law changes how public universities report sexual misconduct Public universities in North Carolina were once required to release the results of sexual assault investigations. But a new provision in state law changed that requirement recently. Advocates for sexual assault survivors say it’s a common-sense change to give survivors more autonomy with their experience. But open records advocates say it’s another barrier for public universities to hide behind when it comes to accountability for public safety on campus. Skye David , staff attorney, NC Coalition Against Sexual Assault Pate McMichael , director, NC Open Government Coalition 0:33:00 How universities are working to prevent sexual and interpersonal violence As a new academic year starts, violence prevention advocates are educating students on resources they can use to help them live in a whole new world of the college experience. That means educating on how to deal with friends, professors, and significant others. When some kind of conflict does escalate into violence, sexual or otherwise, these advocates help students navigate the process of seeking justice, healing from their trauma, and finding a way to maintain community on their campuses. Holly Lovern , director, UNC Office of Violence Prevention and Advocacy Services Becca Patterson , associate director, Elon University Gender and LGBTQIA Center Alex Whicker , associate director, Duke University Office of Gender Violence Education and Outreach
