Earlier this year, Delaware State University students protested after receiving news of yet another case of sexual assault on campus—the fifth since the school year began. Students said that campus officials and law enforcement had a slow and ineffective response to reports of assault. Many students expressed this issue was part of a much larger problem with campus police. In response to the students’ protest, university officials agreed to create a Safe Space Coalition to address the systemic issues of how sexual assault and harassment is addressed at DSU.
Despite the creation of the Safe Space Coalition, students have expressed concern that progress has been slow and university officials have yet to adequately address safety on campus. Students have pushed for several reforms that help create a campus environment that allows students to live and learn free from violence and harassment.

We need you to send a message to DSU administration, urging them to commit to meaningful reform in the University’s response to sexual assault by acting on student’s reform recommendations as soon as possible.
