ABSTRACT

Campus sexual misconduct (CSM) creates ripples within communities that drive secondary experiences of harm, fear, and community unrest. In addition to the authors efforts to effectively respond to individual and interpersonal effects of CSM, the impact across community requires them to consider the ways in which they provide effective support structures and resources for mitigating the reverberation of harm. Those accused of CSM, whether found responsible or not, will inevitably depart their present community and join another. Often, that receiving community is another institution of higher education who, ideally, would receive sufficient disclosure to make an informed and appropriate decision on admission. The survivor of sexual and gender-based violence lives with their experience every day When reminded of this trauma it is understandable that a felt experience of revictimization would be salient.
