Resources for survivors of sexual assault

Past assaults on campus


The interactive map above shows the locations where sex crimes were reported to the Department of Public Safety from Nov. 20, 2009 to Nov. 3, 2013. UNC receives reports of assault from the Division of Student Affairs, the Department of Public Safety, the Chapel Hill Police Department and UNC Hospitals. The Daily Tar Heel is seeking records from all four sources from the beginning of 2010 to the current date. This page will be updated as records become available.

Anonymous reports can be submitted to the "Office of Dean of the Dean of Students":http://deanofstudents.unc.edu/incident-reporting/prohibited-harassmentsexual-misconduct or through the Department of Public Safety’s silent witness form. Police reports can be made to the Department of Public Safety, or the corresponding local police department. The University can help students make a police report, if requested.

Documenting evidence


"From SAFE@UNC:":http://safe.unc.edu/get-help/reporting-to-unc/
Making a report to law enforcement or seeking medical treatment provides the opportunity to preserve any evidence and to begin a timely investigative and remedial response. Evidence from an assault or other form of violence should be preserved as soon after an incident as possible. Campus Health Services and UNC Hospitals both have sexual assault nurse examiners available for this purpose. Even if a student is unsure about whether to make a report on campus or with law enforcement, a student can seek medical assistance to preserve evidence of an assault which might be used later to support a campus report, criminal prosecution or to obtain an order of protection.
