DRUG AND ALCOHOL POLICIES

PROGRAMS AND PROCEDURES REGARDING SEXUAL ASSAULT

Educational programs promoting the awareness of rape, acquaintance rape, and other sex offenses are presented by the Institution with the assistance of faculty and/or guest speakers annually. Speakers present discussions on rape awareness, reducing the risk of being a rape victim, and what to do if you are attacked. Should a student or employee be sexually assaulted, it is the student(s)/employee(s) option to notify the appropriate law enforcement authorities, including on-campus authorities and local police. At the student's/employee's request, security, the Dean of Academic Affairs, the Executive Committee or other Brown Mackie College-Kansas City officials will assist in notifying the proper authorities. Victims of sexual assault or rape should follow these recommended steps:

• Go to a safe place following the attack.
• Do not shower, bathe or destroy any of the clothing you were wearing at the time of the attack.
• Go to a hospital emergency room for medical care.
• Make sure you are evaluated for the risk of pregnancy and venereal disease. (A medical examination is the only way to ensure you are not injured and it could provide valuable evidence should you decide to prosecute.)
• Call someone to be with you, you should not be alone.

It is also recommended that victims call the Rape Crisis Hotline at 1-888-363-2287 (KS) / (816) 531-0233 (MO) / 1-800-874-1499 (if outside the following Kansas counties: Dickinson, Ellsworth, Saline, Lincoln, Ottawa, Cloud, Mitchell, Jewell, Republic, and Washington). It is open 24 hours a day and their counselors can help answer medical and emotional questions at any hour and in complete confidence. Reporting the rape to the police is up to the victim, but it is important to remember that reporting a rape is not the same as prosecuting a rape. Victims are strongly encouraged to call the police and report the rape. If the victim requests, Brown Mackie College-Kansas City will assist in identifying off-campus counseling or mental health services. After any campus sexual assaults are reported, the victims of such crimes have the right to request that Brown Mackie College-Kansas City personnel take steps or actions reasonably feasible to prevent any unnecessary or unwanted contact or proximity with alleged assailants, if applicable or the transfer of classes.
