Update on U of T's tri-campus sexual violence prevention and support centre
The University of Toronto is moving ahead with a new centre to prevent and respond to sexual violence across all three campuses.
The new Tri-Campus Sexual Violence Prevention and Support Centre is up and running in a temporary home in the sixth floor of the Bissell Building on the St. George campus. Permanent locations for the centre at U of T Scarborough and U of T Mississauga are expected to open their doors in April.
“Creating the centre is an important part of responding to the needs of our community,” said Vice-President and Provost Cheryl Regehr. “We have excellent practices and supports across our community, but the challenge has been to make sure they are co-ordinated and widely available. The new centre is designed to fill that need. “
All members of the University of Toronto community are now covered by the new policy on Sexual Violence and Sexual Harassment, with central resources for support and education available for students, faculty and staff.
