Disclaimer

This class will not examine legal issues regarding sexual harassment or attempt to analyze countless statistics on rape, profiles of a rapist, or the post rape procedures to preserve evidence. Instead, we will explore issues and management techniques surrounding both professional and personal harassment and prevention methods to avoid a criminal sexual assault. We do suggest that you familiarize yourself with the state statutes of Colorado regarding rape and sexual assault.
