Assault (physical and/or sexual)

If you have been assaulted by a stranger or by someone you know, you should:

• Call CSB Security at 320-363-5000 or SJU Life Safety at 320-363-2144 or 911 right away if you are in immediate danger.
• Call a supportive person, someone from the residential life staff or an advocate from a crisis line.
• Get medical help. If you were sexually assaulted, do not shower or clean yourself in any way.  Important physical evidence can be gathered up to 72 hours after an assault. You may also have physical injuries that need attention as well as concerns about pregnancy and/or sexually transmitted diseases.
• Decide whether to file a report with the police and/or campus security. Consider meeting with the human rights officer to obtain information about filing a complaint under our Joint Sexual Assault Policy and Procedures. Sexual assault is a violation of the state criminal code and the CSB/SJU sexual assault policy. Violators could face disciplinary action under either or both judicial systems.
• Seek support and counseling. There are a variety of resources both on and off campus that can assist you.
