Abstract
This article examines the shortcomings of US higher education institutions' handling of campus sexual assault and interpersonal violence. Noting the limited scope of the legal approach to interpersonal violence, imposed by Title IX, suggestions are made for additional resources for preventing violence and supporting survivors. Furthermore, higher education administrators are urged to consider establishing interpersonal or sexual violence resource centers that work to provide regular community education, culturally-competent care for survivors, and violence prevention strategies developed with an intersectional lens. The themes addressed in this article are intended to provide direction for higher education administrators seeking to enhance current responses to interpersonal violence on their campuses.
