Our mission and mandate is to prevent, correct, and when necessary, discipline discriminatory behavior.

Reporting to Police
Sexual violence is a crime and thus reporting to law enforcement is encouraged, but not required.
Police officers are available to answer questions, take reports, and refer to the appropriate jurisdiction, depending on where the crime took place.
This does not require identifying the survivor or perpetrator to the campus, and officers can help explain rights and options.

You may seek medical care to test for sexually transmitted infections, pregnancy or physical injury.
*Medical staff must report sexual and domestic violence to law enforcement, but that does not mean a survivor has to file a report.
Forensic Exams
To obtain a free forensic examination (collects evidence for criminal investigation), contact the campus advocate, MCRCC or law enforcement. Forensic exams are initiated by law enforcement with confidential options.
What is a SART?
SART stands for Suspected Abuse Response Team and is the term used to describe an evidentiary medical forensic exam. If you decide to file a police report and that agency decides to order a SART, the exam does two things: provides sensitive and thorough medical care and collects evidence that may be helpful to the prosecution of your case.
How is a SART Ordered?
- Whenever a medical professional in California treats an injury or illness caused by sexual assault, they are required to notify law enforcement. Once law enforcement is notified, you have the option of continuing involvement with them, and you may have the option of undergoing a forensic medical exam, known as a SART. A SART examination is extremely helpful in an investigation, but it is not required for a police investigation to occur.
- You can also directly tell a medical professional that you would like to have a SART exam performed, though the decision to order a SART belongs only to the law enforcement agency with jurisdiction where the assault occurred.
- A SART is more likely to be ordered if the assault occurred within the past 120 hours (five days). The decision to order a SART belongs to the local law enforcement agency. Criteria for ordering a SART are determined differently by individual police agencies.
- When SART exams are ordered, they are provided free of charge.
You also have the option of a Restricted SART. This is the same as a standard SART exam without having to interact with the police. They still receive a summary of your experience, but do not reach out to you until you indicate you're ready to participate in an investigation. If you would like to discuss your options in more detail, please arrange a visit with our Campus Advocate.
