ACC To Update Sexual Violence Policies
A newly proposed law in Manitoba would require post-secondary institutions to have policies in place to prevent and respond to sexual violence and harassment.
Manager of Public Affairs for Assiniboine Community College Danielle Adriaansen says ACC already has policies on sexual violence, but looks forward to collaborating on how to update it.
"We look forward to collaborating with other post-secondary institutions across the province, to develop more robust policies and procedures surrounding our response to sexual violence and sexual harassment on campus. Consultation with students will be a key piece in all of this throughout the whole process as we work with them."
Adriaansen says in more than 10 years ACC hasn't had a single reported case of sexual violence, although she notes they don't have a student residence.
