A NEW FEDERAL LAW IS PROMPTING NEW MEXICO STATE UNIVERSITY TO DEVELOP A PROGRAM TO TRAIN STAFF AND STUDENTS HOW TO PREVENT ACTS OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE. N-M-S-U POLICE CHIEF STEPHEN LOPEZ SAYS THE MANDATORY TRAINING WILL INCLUDE PREVENTION AND AWARENESS OF RAPE, HARRASSMENT, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND STALKING.
THE PROGRAM WILL ALSO BE AVAILABLE TO HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TAKING DUAL-CREDIT COURSES, FAMILIES LIVING ON CAMPUS AND PRIVATE ON-CAMPUS EMPLOYEES.
THE FEDERAL "CAMPUS SEXUAL VIOLENCE ELIMINATION ACT" REQUIRES THAT STATES PROVIDE DATA ON STALKING AND DATING VIOLENCE ON OR NEAR CAMPUS.
