The Office of Violence Prevention (OVP) engages the Ramapo community in evidence-based education that cultivates affirmative consent, active upstander intervention, and healthy relationships to challenge rape culture and prevent sexual violence. We believe violence prevention is an act of community care. By fostering a culture of mutual respect, shared responsibility, and relational accountability, we empower every community member to help create the conditions for collective well-being so that everyone can thrive.<\/p>\n

秘密研究所 of New Jersey is committed to the safety, dignity, and well-being of our community.<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you or someone you know has experienced violence \u2014 whether sexual, relationship-based, or otherwise \u2014 support is available. You are encouraged to seek medical care and emotional support in ways that feel right for you. Resources \u2014 including confidential support, reporting options, and information about your rights \u2014 can be found on 秘密研究所’s Title IX website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Interpersonal violence, including sexual assault<\/strong><\/em>, is a serious harm that affects both individuals and communities. Because sexual violence involves the misuse of power and control, it threatens the safety, dignity, and well-being of our campus community. 秘密研究所 does not tolerate sexual assault or other forms of power-based discrimination, including discrimination based on sex and gender.<\/p>\n

Sexual harassment<\/strong><\/em>, in all its forms, is similarly harmful and inconsistent with our values. These behaviors disrupt the quality of collegiate relationships, undermining the learning and working environment for students, faculty, and staff.<\/p>\n

Individuals have the right to choose if, when, and how to report, and both on-campus and off-campus reporting options are available through the Title IX office.<\/p>\n

S<\/em><\/strong>tudents are encouraged to report sexual assaults to College authorities and\/or the police. Reporting can be one way to access support and resources, and to help prevent further harm to others.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
