Sexual Abuse and Assault Prevention

NPC takes precaution to prevent sexual assault. Precautions include employment of security personnel, campus lighting, adult residence hall supervisors and increased presence of College staff during evening programming hours.

Steps and procedures, as well as preventative activities, are discussed in new student and residence hall orientations. If a sexual assault should occur on College premises, the person assaulted or persons having knowledge of the assault should immediately notify local law enforcement authorities by calling 911. Furthermore, the assaulted person should alert someone nearby, be it a College employee, student or visitor for emergency assistance. After completing these steps, notice of assault should be reported to either the Dean of Student Services or the Affirmative Action Compliance Officer so that counseling referrals and other appropriate assistance can be provided to the victim.
