Subject: Official Information request - Sexual Violence incidents and
responses in the last 5 years

 

Tēnā koe,

 

I am writing to request information on sexual violence definitions,
incidents, and responses at The University of Otago over the past five
years:

 

1. Reported Acts of Sexual Violence: We are hoping to understand the
number of reported acts of sexual violence that have been brought to the
university's attention within the last five years and the number of these
that occurred in university premises (including halls of residence) and
the number that occurred outside of university premises.

 

2. University Definition of Sexual Violence: We would also appreciate
clarification on whether the university has an established definition for
operationalizing sexual violence. If so, could this definition please be
provided.

 

3. University Responses to Sexual Violence: In addition, we seek
information on the existing responses that the university has implemented
to address and combat sexual violence.

 

We recognize that sexual violence is a complex issue, and we acknowledge
that the number of reported incidents does not reflect the safety of the
university environment. Instead, we understand that the focus should be on
creating an environment where students feel comfortable and supported in
seeking help and assistance from the university. We appreciate your
cooperation in providing this information as we believe that understanding
and addressing sexual violence will help create a safe and supportive
environment. 

 

Ngā mihi,

Elia Gibbons
