Sexual Assault Prevention Information
The Oakland University Police Department recommends that campus community members familiarize themselves with what constitutes sexual assault and, as a community, be vigilant in stopping it.
- Always seek consent. Stop your sexual advances if the other person indicates no interest, and especially if they say "no."
- The absence of a "no" is not a "yes."
- If you have sex with a person who is incapacitated or unable to resist or consent (due to alcohol, drugs or unconsciousness) you are committing a sexual assault.
- Call for help if you witness a crime.
