In October 2023, the University of Iowa Interfraternity Council was criticized for not taking enough action to prevent acts of sexual violence on campus. The council responded to this criticism with an Instagram post outlining its plan for preventing sexual misconduct. This plan included Violence Prevention Education workshops, administered through the Women’s Resource and Action.
The university has agreed to merge its 51-year-old Rape Victim Advocacy Program with the Iowa City-based Domestic Violence Intervention Program, which started after the UI’s Women’s Resource and Action Center in 1977 landed a grant to explore the issue of domestic violence in the community.
The University of Iowa has reached an agreement to transition Rape Victim Advocacy Program (RVAP) services to the Domestic Violence Intervention Program (DVIP) to improve coordination and streamline services for victim-survivors.
