Our Progress

At the heart of the Collective is the CORE Blueprint, which outlines six pillars essential to a comprehensive approach to sexual violence prevention and response:

  1. Survivor Support Services
  2. Clear Policies
  3. Multitiered Education
  4. Public Disclosure
  5. Schoolwide Mobilization
  6. Ongoing Self-Assessment

Each pillar is designed to help institutions evaluate and improve their practices in a holistic and sustainable way.

BU’s Progress

We are pleased to share that BU has completed its review of Pillars 1 and 2—Survivor Support Services and Clear Policies. These foundational areas are critical to ensuring that our campus community is equipped with the resources, clarity, and compassion needed to support survivors and uphold accountability.

We remain on track to complete the full CORE Evaluation by Spring 2025, which will provide a comprehensive understanding of how our current strategies align with best practices and where we can grow.

What’s Next?

Following the completion of the CORE Evaluation, BU will:

  • Develop an Individualized Implementation Plan (IIP) based on evaluation findings
  • Begin implementing the IIP in Winter 2025 through Fall 2026
  • Re-administer the CORE Evaluation in Winter 2026 to measure progress
  • Continue to reassess and refine our efforts beyond the two-year program

Stay Involved

This work is collaborative and ongoing. We invite members of the BU community to stay engaged, informed, and involved as we continue to build a culture of respect, accountability, and care.
