A group of students will continue work on a campaign to address how the university prevents and responds to sexual assault, Associated Students of Madison University Affairs Committee members said at a meeting Tuesday.
Natalie Weill, a University of Wisconsin-Madison student working on the campaign, said one goal this year will be to try to get the the university to put segregated fees toward Recreational Sports classes teaching “in-depth” self-defense classes.
In addition, students said they want to help students by providing instructions on navigating the next steps.
“We’d like to make some kind of resource for someone if they’re assaulted, where they know exactly what they want to do,” said UW-Madison student Catie Rutledge, who is also working on the campaign.
Weill and Rutledge said they plan on collaborating with other groups on campus who are working on sexual assault and prevention issues. They will also be collaborating with United Council members working on the campaign to change how sexual assault is addressed across the UW System.
