These incidents, according to Katie Polidoro, the director of Title IX compliance and the Title IX coordinator at Virginia Tech, serve as sobering reminders that the campus community must continue its vigilance, while also caring for victims of sexual assault and sexual violence.
In recent weeks as the fall semester has begun, the Virginia Tech Police Department has followed the university’s federal Clery Act requirements by emailing out alerts that notify the campus community of sexual assaults and where they took place. Confronting the immeasurable suffering inflicted upon victims of sexual violence, the Virginia Tech community is committed to stewarding an equitable Title IX process, treating individuals with compassion and dignity, and allowing individuals to make choices about how they proceed and heal.
