If you are the victim of an assault:
- Seek medical attention as needed.
- Report the incident to the OUPD as soon as possible.
To help reduce the risk of an assault:
- Disengage from conflict whenever possible and get to a place of safety.
- Report any and all suspicious activity to police as soon as you are aware of it.
- Consent is an active agreement to participate. If someone says no, it means no. If someone is silent, it does not mean yes.
- If you or someone you know has been a victim of a crime, please consider reaching out to resources available both on and off campus. More information can be found on the OUPD web section.
- The SAFEwalk program provides a visual escort while you are walking on campus. To request a SAFEwalk escort, call OU Police at (248) 370-3331 and a Police Officer or Police Service Aide will respond to the area while you walk to your location.
- Trust your instincts. If a situation or location feels unsafe or uncomfortable, it probably is not the best place to be.
