Women who are raped, by either an acquaintance or a stranger, can receive assistance at the Walk-In Clinic or Emergency Room at UHS. The Harvard University Police Department (HUPD) will provide transportation to UHS without any questions and whether or not a police report is filed. If a report is made, it is not a commitment to file charges or to testify in court. Victims of sexual assault may report an incident anonymously to the Sensitive Crime Unit of the University Police.
HUPD publishes a Harvard security guide called "Playing It Safe," which contains information on practical safety precautions and services offered by the University. There is also a new booklet entitled "Rape," prepared by UHS and HUPD, which covers the subject of sexual assault in depth.
