DOJ Grant
SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 — UTSA has received a three-year, $300,000 Campus Program grant from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to expand programming aimed at reducing incidents of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking among college-aged students.
UTSA was the only Texas institution that received a grant as part of a larger $10.7 million award from the DOJ’s Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) to help 36 colleges and universities advance their sexual assault prevention efforts.
The DOJ’s Campus Program grant will enable UTSA to expand its existing advocacy programs and develop new programs on campus to prevent sexual violence. At the same time, the funding will provide an opportunity for UTSA to create a more cohesive response to support survivors of sexual misconduct/sexual violence.
