RV-SART Statement of Purpose
University of North Carolina Wilmington, in consultation with Wilmington agencies and constituents, has developed a coordinated response to campus violence. The Relationship Violence & Sexual Assault Response Team (RV-SART) creates and reviews policy and procedures relating to sexual assault, abusive relationships, harassment and stalking.

Anonymous Notification
Designated University employees are required by law to notify University Police of any alleged sexual assault that occurs on designated University property. This is only a notification that an incident has occurred. However, information shared with counselors in the Counseling Center will not be forwarded, unless the victim consents, because confidentiality laws protect information shared with these staff members. The university member to whom the report is made will aid the person reporting in obtaining care and assistance.
2009-2010 Anonymous Notification Form
An Anonymous Notification contains information required by state and federal law, and in compliance with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act. The Anonymous Notification is then forwarded to University Police where it is filed and used for compiling the University Police Department Yearly Report.
Anonymous information regarding sexual assaults is used for compiling the University Police Department Yearly Report in accordance with state and federal law and the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act.
