In order to combat sexual violence among college students, federal laws such as the Clery Act, Title IX and Violence Against Women Act require federally funded educational institutions to craft procedures and policies to address sexual violence incidents. However, student trust in institutions is affected by factors such as concerns related to perceived effectiveness of institutional response and low accountability for perpetrators, which are associated with overall feelings of institutional betrayal. One promising avenue for mitigating institutional betrayal is to implement a Whole School Approach (WSA) that targets prevention at all levels of the social ecology driven by the involvement of multiple stakeholders that could potentially facilitate institutions to move from betrayal towards courage, such as by implementing sexual assault response teams (SART). Utilizing a qualitative case-study approach, the current study explored the lived experiences of stakeholders at one university in the Midwest involved in instituting a more holistic approach based on a SART framework with funding from an Office of Violence against Women grant program. Using purposive sampling methods four focus groups with key stakeholders were conducted in Spring 2023 to identify their perceptions of current efforts and to assess how the strategies being implemented might contribute to the promotion of the elements of institutional courage. Template analysis was used as the primary analytic technique for the generation of themes and subthemes. Stakeholder perceptions about instituting a multidisciplinary approach to addressing DVSAS, instituting prevention efforts, practicing trauma-informed (TI) approaches by utilizing TI communication, and barriers arising due to following strict bureaucratic procedures are discussed along with implications and limitations of the study and its findings.
