Addressing Stalking: A Checklist for Campus Professionals

In reviewing your university’s response to stalking, consider the following questions: – Does your university provide stalking-specific services to victims? For example, counseling services for victims of stalking, access to an advocate for safety planning, or information on campus no contact/protection orders and civil protection orders? – How easy is it for a stalking victim to know they can seek services and from whom? For instance, is stalking mentioned specifically in outreach materials from your Title IX office, crisis center, gender resource center, office of residential life, and/or campus security/police? – Do University policies and services address the needs of all victims of stalking, including those who do not primarily present as sexual assault victims and regardless of the victim-offender relationship, i.e. whether the stalker is/was an intimate partner, acquaintance, friend, stranger, family member, person of authority, etc.? – Do University policies and services address stalkers and victims who are students, faculty, volunteers, alumni, and/or staff?
