I r . , ( 4 DixieSunAdsDixie.edu )P1;:ael: S2(10Edent'aisof 4x) it? BY ABBY 435-652-78- rInU In past years, Dixie State University has reported in its Clery Report very few sexual assault numbers. In fact, in 2015 there were allegedly zero reports to campus representatives of rape, statutory rape, incest or fondling. However, Chief of Police Blair Barfuss said there are two things most universities across the country are concerned with: mass shootings and sexual assaults. "I would say every campus has a sexual assault problem," said Elizabeth Bluhm, sexual assault advocacy coordinator. "Exacerbated, I would say, in Utah schools in particular." Bluhm said a few of the reasons the reports are so low are negative, inaccurate stigmas and myths. Some of these include: Men can't be raped. The victim liked it if a physical arousal was present. Religious consequences, such as losing purity. It is a consequence of misbehavior (what victim was wearing, doing, drinking, etc.). Title IX coordinator Cindy Cole said another reason the numbers are so low is that DSU is a relatively safe school, especially since the hiring of Barfuss just 6 months ago. Barfuss, replacement of Don Reid who served DSU for 42 years, said he is very familiar with tt sc ::: 1 lif 1 11; ' 4 , 1 II 1' ,..,,,k, I mu, 104 IA I IJ UTI kvA' ''A.Yil , Saig asurluorrs ril t 1 Is'l, Jifi , 1 , 111,1-- 111,9 , ., ,, , 1 , , , , , , , , ....

"My background and history is in special victim investigations," Barfuss said. "I have worked in the sexual assault realm of policing for many, many years." He said police officers are now doing about two to three trainings a month and are hoping to involve SOURCE: students with preventative and educational measures starting next fall. Bluhm said this is one area DSU could do better at. "I think DSU really needs to a do a little as far as prevention," Bluhm said. "People should be talking about consent all the RRINN.ORO time, every form, at every level." Besides training, Barfuss said the campus police are also trying to partner with the start by believing campaign, which strives to end the cycle of silence in sexual assault.
