Especially for Students
The Stanford community is a great place to make lifelong friends and a wide variety of interpersonal connections. Most connections here on "the farm" are positive ones but there may be times when friends, colleagues and others are not as respectful as you would wish.
The Sexual Harassment Policy Office staff are available to answer questions about sexual harassment (650.724.2120) and our Resource Guide provides an overview of the many resources Stanford has available for students. However, for comprehensive information, students are encouraged to consult:
- Stanford's Title IX website: Resources and Options
- Not Alone: Sexual Assault Support and Resources
