As an institution of higher education, SKC is committed to ensuring that all students, regardless of their background or identity, have access to a quality learning experience and the opportunity to pursue their academic goals in a safe supportive learning environment. Further, all forms of sexual violence, including rape and sexual assault, interferes with students’ abilities to be active, engaged learners. As such, the College is actively committed to reducing and eradicating the incidences of sexual violence an eliminating the root caused that lead to sexual violence, as well as providing appropriate support to victims and survivors when an act of sexual violence does occur.
