IUP has received 40,000 dollars through Governor Josh Shapiro’s “It’s On Us PA” initiative to continue efforts to combat campus sexual assault.
University officials say this year’s funding will support a campus-wide program focused on preventing technology-facilitated abuse and improving support for survivors. This marks the eighth year IUP has received funding from the statewide campaign, bringing the university’s total to 270,000 dollars. IUP President Dr. Michael Driscoll says the funding will help expand awareness and strengthen resources for students, while emphasizing that preventing sexual violence is a shared responsibility across campus.
The university’s Haven Project will lead the initiative, with plans including specialized training on digital abuse, updated survivor resources, and expanded awareness campaigns across campus.
