Title IX and Discrimination, Harassment & Retaliation Prevention
April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month
Hold up. Wait a minute. Slow down. Think about it.
The CSU Systemwide Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) Campaign is focused on raising awareness around the need to stop, avoid making assumptions, and demonstrate care by making sure all parties are on the same page and consent is clear. We hope these materials help highlight the importance of not taking advantage of or making assumptions in situations where clarity is lacking, and ensuring consent is clear before taking any given action.
