(d)
Colleges should implement a variety of effective educational programs to inform all students and other college personnel about sexual assaults on campus.

(e)
Colleges need to emphasize to students the seriousness of the offenses of rape and sexual assault.

Students need critical factual information about the prevalence of stranger and acquaintance rape, how and where it happens, its impact, and the relationship between alcohol and drug use and sexual assaults.

It is not sufficient to develop policies, brochures, and other informational materials; once these materials are developed they must be distributed in a way that emphasizes their importance and stimulates the interest of students.

(i)

Colleges should provide special sexual assault seminars for all athletic coaches and administrators and members of athletic teams. These seminars should take place during a student athlete orientation program or prior to the first team meeting. Seminars should use the campus media, newspapers, radio, and television to heighten awareness of campus violence and its prevention.
