The Grants to Reduce Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking on Campus Program (CAMPUS PROGRAM) is authorized by 34 U.S.C. 20125.

The program provides a unique opportunity for institutions of higher education to establish multidisciplinary approaches to combat domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking on campuses.

These comprehensive efforts are designed to enhance victim services (including legal services), implement prevention and education programs, and develop and strengthen security and investigation strategies to prevent, prosecute, and respond to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking.

The CAMPUS PROGRAM supports activities that develop campus-based coordinated responses among campus victim services, campus law enforcement, health care providers, housing officials, administrators, student leaders, faith-based organizations, student organizations, and disciplinary boards, enhance victim safety and the provision of assistance, and hold offenders accountable.

To be effective, these responses must be linked to local law enforcement agencies, prosecutors' offices, courts, and nonprofit, nongovernmental victim advocacy and victim services organizations.

Shippensburg University is a public, four-year institution located in Shippensburg, PA.
