Sexual Assault

The Wesleyan Sexual Assault Response Team (SART)

The Wesleyan Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) was created to provide support for survivors of sexual violence.

SART members will support and assist any Wesleyan student who is a survivor of a sexual assault, acquaintance rape, stranger rape, or other form of sexual violence. The supportive function of a SART member includes helping survivors by explaining options for medical care, mental health care, housing, academic concerns, and how to file a report with the University.

SART members will respect the privacy and confidentiality of the students with whom they work. It is in the best interest of the student to keep the number of people involved to a minimum. In instances where it is necessary to discuss the survivor’s situation with other members of the University community, the SART member will seek the student’s prior consent. The student’s name is not to be shared unless deemed necessary.
