Roles & Responsibilities of Campus Partners

CARE Campus Advocates Respond and Educate (CARE) to Stop Violence provides free, confidential advocacy and therapy services to primary and secondary survivors of sexual assault, relationship violence, stalking, and sexual harassment, while simultaneously empowering the campus community to prevent violence through educational presentations, events, and outreach activities.

OCRSM The Office of Civil Rights & Sexual Misconduct (OCRSM) administers the University of Maryland's non-discrimination policies and works to foster a learning and working environment free from all forms of discrimination and harassment, including sexual misconduct. The OCRSM receives and responds to complaints of sexual misconduct, as well as other forms of discrimination and harassment.

Resident Life The Office of Rights and Responsibilities administers rules and adjudicative processes that serve three necessary goals: (1) maintain the safety and necessary order for an academic residence community, (2) determine accountability for prohibited behavior, and (3) to foster among students an understanding of their accountability as community members.

DFSL The Department of Fraternity and Sorority Life (DFSL) has expanded the scope of its Sexual Violence Prevention program to incorporate a variety of collaborations and support for students. This slate of programs is supported by a graduate assistant who is responsible for shepherding these programs, developing new initiatives, supporting collaborations with other campus offices and assessing the effectiveness of these programs.

Office of Student Conduct The Office of Student Conduct proactively encourages safety by promoting and upholding the standards and integrity of the University of Maryland Community and resolves allegations of individual and organizational misconduct in a manner consistent with University core values.
