Last year, the SDSU Greek Community announced new sexual assault awareness training for fraternity and sorority members. The new training requires all Greeks to take online courses called "Agents of Change" on sexual violence, attend a week of presentations on the topic and participate in sexual assault prevention events, including Take Back the Night.

The university has also been awarded a $200,000 grant from the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES).

The grant will provide for a full-time sexual assault victim advocate on campus who will be trained and hired through the Center for Community Solutions. The money will also provide for a part-time police officer dedicated to sexual assault prevention.

In 2014, 13 sexual assaults were reported on campus. Police made an arrest in one case, though the District Attorney’s office later declined to file charges in the case.
