College Alliance Against Sexual Assault

The College Alliance Against S​exual Assault (CAASA) is a group of employees and students working to prevent sexual assault, domestic and dating violence and stalking.

Together we are training students, faculty and staff members the skills needed to prevent sexual violence. We also provide information on campus and community resources. Join us to learn more about what you can do to prevent sexual violence in our community.

Why is this so important?

Over 13% of college women report that they have been stalked. Of these women, 42% were stalked by a boyfriend or ex-boyfriend. Forty-three percent of dating college women reported experiencing abusive behaviors from their partner. (Statistics retrieved from the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence.)

What can you do?

  • Learn to establish healthy boundaries in relationships by attending our seminars.
  • Recognize the warning signs of an unhealthy relationship
  • Talk with our community partners at table events on campus to learn more.
  • Spread the word on social media about your commitment to sexual violence prevention.
  • Attend our sexual violence prevention workshops and bring a friend!
  • Report incidents of sexual assault, dating or domestic violence or stalking on campus by calling 972-860-4290 using your mobile phone or a non-campus phone, or by calling 9-1-1 using a campus landline phone. Be sure to add the number to your list of contacts.

I was at this party one night, and everybody was drinking a lot.
And then I saw this guy come on to this girl pretty strong.
They both looked pretty messed up, but then they started going to another room.
And I didn't know if I should say something.
I mean, what if they get mad?
But I kept thinking to myself, what if it was my sister?
I would want somebody to help her out.
So my friends and I went up to her.
We asked her if she was OK, and she said she didn't feel good.
We found her friend, and she took her home.
My girlfriend and I went to a party, and this guy shows up really drunk and hitting on every girl
there.
We didn't know him, but I see him around campus a few times.
And he starts talking to this girl, and he kind of has her cornered.
He won't get out of her way, and she looks scared.
We weren't sure what to do.
Should we get involved?
What if we make things worse?
And then I thought, what if it was my girlfriend?
So I came up with a lame excuse to talk to him.
I asked him if he was in my math class.
And while I talked to him, my girlfriend got the girl out of there.
My friends and I were at this concert.
It was really crowded, so we all had to stand very close to each other.
And then this guy came up to this girl next to us.
He kept getting closer to them and kept trying to talk to them.
He kept making comments like, hey, you look hot and things like that.
You could tell that they were really creeped out.
And so we kind of looked at each other because we didn't know what to do.
Should we say something?
So my friend decided to go get the security guard, and he came up to them and drove them away from the situation safely.
