The University of Hawaii (UH) is dedicated to creating a safe and supportive environment where students can flourish academically and personally. In 2015, Â鶹´«Ã½developed a survey instrument as part of a year-long planning process to assess student attitudes, behaviors, and standards regarding efforts to prevent and address sexual harassment<\/a> and sex-based violence.<\/p>\n

The first Â鶹´«Ã½Student Survey on Sexual Harassment and Sex-Based Violence was launched in January 2017. These sexual harassment and sex-based violence surveys, conducted in 2017, 2019, 2021, and most recently in January 2023, are crucial for preventing sexual assault<\/a> and other forms of sex-based violence by measuring their prevalence and understanding students’ perceptions and experiences of sexual misconduct. The surveys have enabled Â鶹´«Ã½to evaluate the campus environment, the effectiveness of its response mechanisms, and the awareness of available resources and reporting options for victims, contributing to continuous improvements in campus policies and procedures. Insights from these surveys also led to the creation of Action Plan Committees on each campus, tasked with addressing specific issues identified.<\/p>\n

UH’s biennial series of campus sexual harassment and sex-based violence surveys, from 2017 through 2023, aligns with the mandates of Act 208, Session Laws of Hawai‘i 2016, which requires Â鶹´«Ã½to conduct an initial campus sexual harassment and sex-based violence survey by March 31, 2017, and every two years thereafter. Â鶹´«Ã½is on track to launch its fourth survey in January 2025, continuing its important work in fostering a safer and more supportive educational environment for all students.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
