The Exponent
6.13.16 | GEORGE LANDSLY
Given the major issues regarding sexual assault on campuses like Baylor and Stanford, Purdue's Center for Advocacy, Response and Education will become even more critical in the coming months.
CARE is Purdue's sexual assault center and incoming freshman will be the first to have a fully-realized facility for their entire time on campus. The Exponent got the chance to talk to Monica Bloom, director of CARE, about what the center will be like for incoming students. Before her time as director, Bloom held the position of Purdue's Title IX Coordinator, meaning she is well-versed on matters that involve sexual assault on campus.
-----
Exponent: What services are offered at CARE?
Bloom: We provide confidential advocacy and support services for survivors of sexual violence, including rape and assault, relationship violence, and sexual exploitation. We can meet with students to discuss their options for reporting and other resources available to them, including counseling services, a police investigation, and the University Title IX investigation. We can go with students to the hospital or PUSH for forensic exams, accompany them to the police to file a report, help them request a protective order through the local courts, and accompany them to Title IX meetings.
