ANU launches new strategy for a safer campus

A new, sector-leading strategy to tackle and prevent sexual violence has been launched by The Australian National University (ANU). A first for universities in Australia, the strategy focuses on the key drivers of sexual assault and sexual harassment and what actions need to be taken to stop these unacceptable behaviours - both on campuses and across society. The strategy has been developed after wide consultation with students, staff, advocates, experts, violence prevention practitioners and support services. ANU Vice-Chancellor Professor Brian Schmidt said the strategy built on extensive work to tackle the problem over the past two years and was based on best-practice. "Sexual assault and sexual harassment are never okay," Professor Schmidt said. "These behaviours have no place at ANU. ANU will not tolerate these behaviours.
