Campus Sexual Violence Elimination Act - Campus SaVE

Campus SaVE requires colleges and universities, both public and private, participating in federal student aid programs (covering virtually every campus in the United States) to increase transparency about the scope of sexual violence on campus, guarantee victims enhanced rights, provide for standards in institutional conduct proceedings, and provide campus community wide prevention educational programming. Institutions must provide primary prevention and awareness programs for all students.

As part of OFTC’s efforts to maintain a safe campus community and promote a culture of respect and understanding, the college has partnered with Get Inclusive to provide education in critical life skills such as sexual assault prevention and alcohol abuse prevention. Get Inclusive’s “Voices for Change - Consent, Alcohol and Hazing” is an interactive online course that uses real-life scenarios to train students to recognize and prevent situations when someone is being disrespected, harassed or endangered, and to encourage healthy decision making and help-seeking behaviors.

An important component of Voices for Change is a list of resources and links for students which includes information on OFTC’s student code of conduct as well as a link to the state of Georgia statutes regarding relationship and sexual violence.

Voices for Change is available at no charge to all students at OFTC, and is a mandatory component of the COLL 1060 course. Students should contact the Office of Student Life at 478-240-5162 or studentlife@oftc.edu for more information or for confidential access to the course.
