Information about the Alliance for Sexual Assault Prevention (ASAP)

Every University of Oregon student has the right to pursue academic, social, and work activities without fear or intimidation. Yet threats of sexual violence--from verbal harassment to physical assault--exist on this and other campuses.  The University of Oregon is committed to reducing and preventing occurrences of unwanted sexual behaviors on campus and in the larger community. The University of Oregon Alliance for Sexual Assault Prevention (ASAP) consists of departments and organizations across the campus and Eugene, joining in a coordinated community response to end sexual violence.

The following are guiding principles of the Alliance for Sexual Assault Prevention (ASAP):

  1. To develop education and prevention strategies to broaden the awareness of the rape culture, and to decrease the incidence of sexual assault, harassment, relationship violence, and other forms of unwanted sexual behavior on the UO campus.
  2. To work to create a safer campus environment through participation in policy development, advocacy, and lobbying efforts.
  3. To serve as a referral source to campus and community services for sexual assault survivors and concerned others.
  4. To encourage active involvement in prevention efforts by UO students, faculty, staff and community members.
  5. To provide a networking system for Alliance members to work effectively with each other on campus, and to coordinate efforts with other colleges and universities.
