Data, Reports and Training

Consistent with our mission and convictions, the University of St. Thomas is committed to fostering a community free from sexual violence, where the well-being and personal dignity of all community members are promoted and protected. We fulfill this commitment in part by working to keep the community informed about sexual misconduct data within our community, as well as other information related to compliance in this area.

Below you will find links to reports and other content that addresses these areas and furthers the goal of an aware and informed community. This section may be periodically updated to include additional data, both current and historic.

Institutional Data

The University of St. Thomas is required annually to publish our institutional data from the Minnesota Office of Higher Education (OHE) Sexual Assault Data Report. That requirement can be met by sharing the hyperlink to the OHE online report.

See the most current Sexual Assault Data Report on the OHE website.

Student Training

All incoming students, graduate, and undergraduate, are required to participate in an online interpersonal violence prevention and awareness program. Returning students may periodically be invited to complete additional refresher modules. This training is required, and any currently enrolled student who has not completed the training will receive a course registration hold placed on their account, preventing registration for future courses.

This video-based program will provide critical information about how to support someone who’s experienced sexual assault, dating violence, or stalking, as well as ways you can intervene in high-risk situations to help keep people safe. These videos will also link to the University of St. Thomas policies prohibiting sexual misconduct and resources students can access should they encounter such a situation. We hope you will find this information useful and that it can serve as a starting point for discussions on interpersonal violence and misconduct with your classmates, friends, or loved ones.

Faculty/Staff Training

Staff and faculty receive training related to interpersonal violence and prevention during new staff or new faculty orientation. In an effort to bolster our training and ensure we are reaching as many members of our community as possible, all St. Thomas employees are also required to participate in an online interpersonal violence awareness and prevention program every two years. This is one of the many ways St. Thomas works towards a safer environment for all our community members.

In January 2023 we transitioned to a new online training vendor. For this reason, and because the pandemic disrupted many employee training completion schedules, all employees are required to complete the new online training, regardless of when they last completed training. Employees will then be required to complete booster training every two years thereafter.

This video-based program will provide information about how to support someone who’s experienced sexual assault, dating violence, or stalking, as well as ways you can intervene in high-risk situations to help keep people safe. This program will also cover the University of St. Thomas policies prohibiting sexual misconduct and resources employees can access should they encounter such a situation. We hope you will find this information useful and that it can serve as a starting point for discussion within and beyond our community.

Employees will be notified via email regarding the timing and process of completing online training.
