Delta College annual security report

Policies and Procedures Related to Dating Violence, Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking

Delta College provides many programs to prevent sexual misconduct, including dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. We commit to offering a variety of programs that allow our students, faculty, staff, and community members the opportunity to better understand domestic and dating violence, sexual assault and stalking, available resources, how not to become a victim, and safe and effective bystander strategies. Delta College prohibits the crimes of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. Definitions of the above stated crimes according to the Violence Against Women Act, the State of Michigan, and any applicable local jurisdiction are included in this document.

How to be an active bystander

Bystander intervention means safe and positive options that may be carried out by an individual or individuals to prevent harm or intervene when there is a risk of dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Bystander intervention includes recognizing situations of potential harm, understanding institutional structures and cultural conditions that facilitate violence, overcoming barriers to intervening, identifying safe and effective intervention options, and taking action to intervene.

Bystanders play a critical role in the prevention of sexual and relationship violence. They are “individuals who observe violence or witness the conditions that perpetuate violence. They are not directly involved but have the choice to intervene, speak up, or do something about it.” We want to promote a culture of community accountability where bystanders are actively engaged in the prevention of violence without causing further harm. We may not always know what to do even if we want to help. Below is a list of some ways to be an active bystander.

If you or someone else is in immediate danger, dial 911 or 9111 from a campus phone. This could be when a person is yelling at or being physically abusive towards another and it is not safe for you to interrupt. Here are some examples of safe and positive options for bystander intervention:

Watch out for your friends and fellow students/employees. If you see someone who looks like they could be in trouble or need help, ask if they are okay.
Confront people who seclude, hit on, try to make out with, or have sex with people who are incapacitated.
Speak up when someone discusses plans to take sexual advantage of another person.
Believe someone who discloses sexual assault, abusive behavior, or experience with stalking.
Refer people to College or community resources, including those listed in this document, for support in health, counseling, or with legal assistance.

Risk reduction

With no intent to victim blame and recognizing that only abusers are responsible for their abuse, the following are some strategies to reduce one’s risk of sexual assault or harassment (taken from Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network, www.rainn.org).

Be aware of your surroundings. Knowing where you are and who is around that may help you to find a way to get out of a bad situation.
Try to avoid isolated areas. It is more difficult to get help if no one is around.
Walk with purpose. Even if you don’t know where you are going, act like you do.
Trust your instincts. If a situation or location feels unsafe or uncomfortable, it probably isn’t the best place to be.
Try not to load yourself down with packages or bags as this can make you appear more vulnerable.
Make sure your cell phone is with you and charged and that you have cab money.
Don’t allow yourself to be isolated with someone you don’t trust or someone you don’t know.
Avoid putting music headphones in both ears so that you can be more aware of your surroundings, especially if you are walking alone.
When you go to a social gathering, go with a group of friends. Arrive together, check in with each other throughout the evening, and leave together. Knowing where you are, and who is around you, may help you to find a way out of a bad situation.
Trust your instincts. If you feel unsafe in any situation, go with your gut. If you see something suspicious, contact law enforcement immediately (local authorities can be reached by calling 911 in most areas of the U.S.).
Don’t leave your drink unattended while talking, dancing, using the restroom, or making a phone call. If you’ve left your drink alone, don’t drink it and get a new one.
Don’t accept drinks from people you don’t know or trust. If you choose to accept a drink, go with the person to the bar to order it, watch it being poured, and carry it yourself. At parties, don’t drink from the punch bowls or other large, common open containers.
Watch out for your friends, and vice versa. If a friend seems out of it, is way too intoxicated for the amount of alcohol they’ve had, or is acting out of character, get him or her to a safe place immediately.
If you suspect you or a friend has been drugged, contact law enforcement immediately (local authorities can be reached by calling 911 in most areas of the U.S.). Be explicit with doctors so they can give you the correct tests (you will need a urine test and possibly others).
If you need to get out of an uncomfortable or scary situation here are some things that you can try:
1. Remember that being in this situation is not your fault. You did not do anything wrong, it is the person who is making you uncomfortable that is to blame.
2. Be true to yourself. Don’t feel obligated to do anything you don’t want to do. “I don’t want to” is always a good enough reason. Do what feels right to you and what you are comfortable with.
3. Have a code word with your friends or family so that if you don’t feel comfortable you can call them and communicate your discomfort without the person you are with knowing. Your friends or family can then come to get you or make up an excuse for you to leave.
4. Lie. If you don’t want to hurt the person’s feelings it is better to lie and make up a reason to leave than to stay and be uncomfortable, scared, or worse. Some excuses you could use are: needing to take care of a friend or family member, not feeling well, having somewhere else that you need to be, etc.
Try to think of an escape route. How would you try to get out of the room? Where are the doors? Windows? Are there people around who might be able to help you? Is there an emergency phone nearby?
If you and/or the other person have been drinking, you can say that you would rather wait until you both have your full judgment before doing anything you may regret later.

Programs to Prevent Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault and Stalking

The College engages in programming, initiatives, strategies, and campaigns intended to end dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking that:

Procedures Victims/Survivors Should Follow if a Crime of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault and/or Stalking Occurs

After an incident of sexual assault, dating violence or domestic violence, the victim/survivor should consider seeking medical attention as soon as possible at an area hospital or center qualified in sexual assault evidence collection:

Saginaw County Underground Railroad 1230 S Washington Ave, Saginaw, MI 989-755-0411

Child & Family Services of Saginaw 2806 Davenport Saginaw, MI 48602 989-790-9118

Michigan Forensic Examiners Serving Saginaw County and Thumb Area Saginaw Area: 989-790-9118v Thumb Area: 989-551-8336

Bay County Bay Area Women’s Center 3411 E Midland Rd, Bay City, MI 989-686-4551

Midland County Shelterhouse 2500 Waldo Ave. Midland, MI 989-835-6771

In Michigan, evidence may be collected even if you chose not to make a report to law enforcement. Evidence of a sexual assault is collected by a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) at a health care facility, typically a hospital emergency room. The evidence should be collected within 120 hours of the incident. The victim/survivor of a sexual assault has the option to have the evidence securely held by the health care facility for up to one year. After one year, the health care facility will destroy the evidence unless the victim/survivor directs otherwise. The health care facility will only release the evidence to law enforcement with consent from the victim/survivor. If the victim/survivor consents, the health care facility must contact law enforcement within 24 hours. The law enforcement agency must collect the evidence from the health care facility within 14 days and must submit the evidence for analysis within 90 days. The victim/survivor also has the option to take the evidence from the health care facility. The victim/survivor then has the option to turn evidence over to law enforcement, destroy the evidence, or do nothing with the evidence.

It is important that a victim/survivor of sexual assault not bathe, douche, smoke, change clothing or clean the bed/linen/area where they were assaulted if the offense occurred within the past 96 hours so that evidence may be preserved that may assist in proving that the alleged criminal offense occurred, or is occurring, or may be helpful in obtaining a protection order. In circumstances of sexual assault, if victims/survivors do not opt for forensic evidence collection, health care providers can still treat injuries and take steps to address concerns of pregnancy and/or sexually transmitted infections. Victims/survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, stalking, and dating violence are encouraged to also preserve evidence by saving text messages, instant messages, social networking pages, other communications, and keeping pictures, logs or other copies of documents, if they have any, which would be useful to College adjudicators/investigators or police.

As time passes, evidence may dissipate or become lost or unavailable, thereby making investigation, possible prosecution, disciplinary proceedings, or obtaining protection from abuse orders related to the incident more difficult. If a victim/survivor chooses not to make a complaint regarding an incident, he or she nevertheless should consider speaking with DCDPS or other law enforcement to preserve evidence in the event that the victim/survivor decides to report the incident to law enforcement or the College at a later date to assist in proving that the alleged criminal offense occurred or that may be helpful in obtaining a protection order.

Involvement of Law Enforcement and Campus Authorities

Although the College strongly encourages all members of its community to report violations of this policy to DCDPS or law enforcement (including on campus law enforcement and/or local police), it is the victim’s/survivor’s choice whether or not to make such a report. Furthermore, victims/survivors have the right to decline to notify law enforcement. However, the College Title IX Coordinator will assist any victim with notifying law enforcement if the victim so desires. The Title IX Coordinator may be reached directly by calling 989-686-9547, in person at J-101, or by email at equityoffice@delta.edu. Delta College Public Safety Department may also be reached directly by calling 989-686-9113, in person at N- 102, 1961 Delta Road, University Center, Michigan, 48710. Additional information about the Delta College Public Safety Department may be found online at: http://www.delta.edu/services-support/safety.html.

Reporting Incidents of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault and Stalking

If you have been the victim/survivor of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking, you should report the incident promptly to the Equity Office by calling 989-686-9547, writing or emailing equityoffice@delta.edu or coming into the office (J-101) to report in person. If the victim/survivor so desires he/she should report the incident promptly to DCDPS by calling 989-686-9111, in person in room N-102, online by completing the Title IX, Sexual Misconduct and Gender Discrimination Reporting Form or anonymously by filing a report with Silent Witness Form. Anonymous third party reporters (those reporting on behalf of another) may use the same means of reporting as victims/survivors. Reports will be taken and investigated to the extent possible even if the identity of the victim/survivor and/or perpetrator are not known. Reports of all domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking made to DCDPS will automatically be referred to the Title IX Office for investigation regardless of whether the complainant chooses to pursue criminal charges.

Procedures the College Will Follow When a Crime of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault and Stalking is Reported

The College has procedures in place that serve to be sensitive to victims/survivors (referred to as a complainant for the purposes of College procedures) who report sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking, including informing complainants about their right to file criminal charges as well as the availability of counseling, health, mental health, victim advocacy, legal assistance, visa and immigration assistance and other services on and/or off campus as well as additional remedies to prevent contact between a complainant and a respondent party, such as academic, and working accommodations, if reasonably available. The College will make such accommodations, if the complainant requests them and if they are reasonably available, regardless of whether the complainant chooses to report the crime to the DCDPS or local law enforcement. Additionally, these procedures provide due process to the alleged individuals (referred to as a respondent for the purposes of College procedures) and equally provides them with supportive measures as requested and deemed appropriate. Students and employees should contact the Title IX Coordinator by calling 989-686-9547, writing or emailing equityoffice@delta.edu or coming into the office (J-101) to request in person.

Assistance for Victims: Rights & Options

Regardless of whether a victim elects to pursue a criminal complaint or whether the offense is alleged to have occurred on or off campus, the College will assist victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking and will provide each victim with a written explanation of their rights and options. Such information will include:

the procedures victims should follow if a crime of dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking has occurred;
information about how the institution will protect the confidentiality of victims and other necessary parties;
a statement that the institution will provide written notification to students and employees about victim services within the institution and in the community after the completion of an investigation;
a statement regarding the institution’s provisions about options for, available assistance in, and how to request accommodations and protective measures; and
an explanation of the procedures for institutional disciplinary action

Rights of Victims and the Institution’s Responsibilities for Orders of Protection

(“No Contact” Orders, Restraining Orders, or Similar Lawful Orders) Issued by a Criminal, Civil, or Tribal Court or by the Institution

Delta College complies with Michigan law in recognizing orders of personal protection (PPO). Any person who obtains an order of protection from any US state should provide a copy to DCDPS and the Title IX Coordinator. A victim/survivor may then meet with DCDPS to develop a Safety Action Plan, which is a plan for campus police and the victim/survivor to reduce risk of harm while on campus or coming and going from campus. This plan may include, but is not limited to: escorts, special parking arrangements, changing classroom location or allowing a student to complete assignments from home, etc. The DCDPS will enforce lawfully issued orders of protection if violated within the jurisdiction of the DCDPS. The College cannot apply for a legal order of protection, no contact order or restraining order for a victim/survivor from the applicable jurisdiction(s). The victim/survivor is required to apply directly for these services in conjunction with the county clerk’s office or circuit court in the county where he/she lives. Ask for a “do-it-yourself” personal protection packet. The packet will provide the necessary forms and instruction on how to fill them out. If you are in immediate danger, ask the court for an ex parte order. The order goes into effect as soon as the judge signs it. The county clerk’s office is responsible for providing a copy of the order to the local police agency so that it can immediately be entered into the Law Enforcement Information Network (LEIN). The College may issue an institutional no contact order if deemed appropriate or at the request of the victim/survivor or accused. If the College receives a report that such an institutional no contact order has been violated, the College will initiate disciplinary proceedings appropriate to the status of the accused (student, employee, etc.) and will impose sanctions if the accused is found responsible for violating the no contact order.

Accommodations and Supportive Measures Available for Victims/Survivors

Upon receipt of a report of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault or stalking, Delta College will discuss with the students and employees about accommodations available to them, including academic, living, transportation and working situations or supportive measures. The notification will include information regarding the accommodation options, available assistance in requesting accommodations, and how to request accommodations and protective measures (i.e., the notification will include the name and contact information for the individual or office that should be contacted to request the accommodations).

At the victim/survivor’s request, and to the extent of the victim/survivor’s cooperation and consent, College offices will work cooperatively to assist the victim/survivor in obtaining accommodations. If reasonably available, a victim/survivor may be offered changes to academic or working situations regardless of whether the victim/survivor chooses to report the crime to DCDPS or local law enforcement. Examples of options for a potential change to the academic situation may be to transfer to a different section of a class, withdraw and take a class at another time if there is no option for moving to a different section, etc. Possible changes to work situations may include changing working schedule. Possible changes in transportation may include having the student or employee park in a different location, assisting the student or employee with a safety escort, etc.

To request changes to academic, transportation, and/or working situations or protective measures, a victim/survivor should contact the Title IX Coordinator if he/she is a student or employee. Employees may also contact the Human Resources department. If the victim/survivor wishes to receive assistance in requesting these accommodations, she or he should contact the Dean of Student Success or the Title IX Coordinator if they are a student (or employee). Employees may also contact the Human Resources department.

On and Off Campus Services for Victims/Survivors

Upon receipt of a report of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault or stalking, Delta College will provide written notification to students and employees about existing assistance with and/or information about obtaining resources and services including counseling, health, mental health, victim advocacy, legal assistance, visa and immigration assistance, student financial aid and assistance in notifying appropriate local law enforcement. Delta College will provide information about services available within the College and those available within the larger community the College serves.

Confidentiality

Victims/Survivors may request to the College Registrar’s Office that directory information on file with the College be withheld. Regardless of whether a victim/survivor has opted-out of allowing the College to share “directory information,” personally identifiable information about the victim/survivor and other necessary parties will be treated as confidential and only shared with persons who have a specific need-to-know, i.e., those who are investigating/adjudicating the report or those involved in providing support services to the victim/survivor, including accommodations and protective measures. By only sharing personally identifiable information with individuals on a need-to-know basis, the institution will maintain as confidential, any accommodations or protective measures provided to the victim/survivor to the extent that maintaining such confidentiality would not impair the ability of the College to provide the accommodations or supportive measures.

The College does not publish the name of crime victims or other identifiable information regarding victims/survivors in the Daily Crime Log or in the annual crime statistics that are disclosed in compliance with the Jeanne Clery Campus Safety Act. Furthermore, if a Timely Warning Notice is issued on the basis of a report of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault or stalking, the name of the victim/survivor and other personally identifiable information about the victim/survivor will be withheld.
