Booth University College promotes a safe and supportive community in which healthy relationships can thrive. In this environment, sexual violence in any form is prohibited.
What is Sexual Violence?
- Any sexual activity where consent is not freely given
- Completed or attempted sex acts that are against the victim’s will or involve a victim who is unable to consent through the use of force or alcohol/drug facilitation
- Non-physically pressured unwanted sex
- Unwanted sexual contact (intentional sexual touching)
- Non-contact, unwanted sexual experiences (such as verbal sexual harassment)
We Take Sexual Violence Seriously
If you’ve experienced sexual violence, know that you can talk with our staff or faculty members for support. You may choose to file a complaint to Booth UC against the person who assaulted you. The institution reserves the right to investigate complaints, take appropriate actions deemed necessary, and, when warranted, inform local law enforcement authorities.

Resources for Victims of Sexual Violence
Everyone’s experience is different, and you should choose the resources that are right for you. Find resources on and off-campus where you can share your experiences and concerns, get support, and consider options.
At Booth, we’ll take steps to ensure you feel safe and supported during your learning experience with us. You don’t need to file a formal complaint to access support resources.
