miss stapleton, please proceed. >> good morning. thank you, chairman harkin, ranking chairman alexander and committee members. my name is jane stapleton from the university of new hampshire. i am the co-director of prechgs innovations research and practices for ending violence against women. it is an honor to be asked to testify before the help committee on an issue that's been an important part of both my personal and professional lives for the past 30 years. prevention innovation is made up of practitioners who work together to create, evaluate, disseminate evidence-based prevention. we are invested in building practitioners' capacities to respond to survivors, measure climate and incidents, prevent violence and comply with recent federal laws and mandates. we believe that to truly end sexual and relationship violence on campus, we must understand what works in prevention and response. evaluate effectiveness, document climate incidents and readiness to change, and implement evidence base best practices. during my career, i've had

jane stapleton, university of new hampshire prevention, elevation. extensive experience in working to end violence against women in college and university settings the lead developer and evaluator of the new york power social marketing campaign. she trains organizations of up to facilitate and implement comprehensive strategies. with that, in statements will be admitted in their entirety. could you start and some up in five minutes the essence of yours. hopefully we will have time for questions and answers. >> they cupola senator and other members of the committee present today. as noted, and the recent graduate of the university of virginia. my a experience as a survivor, i learned a great deal about the dynamics are around campus of sexual assault. i want to let out several observations about the challenges faced by survivors. as requirements to expand the mandate for prevention and education and reach and is critical we ensure rollins -- colleges. personal feelings of responsibility, especially when reinforced undermine the survivors says that it

the signals coming out of the stapleton and the white house with a slightly different emphasis. >> this is where it is messy. there is ambiguity because they don't know what the sectoral concept means. will it be totally comprehensive. it is not going to be an energy embargo. the second ambiguity is we don't know what the trigger point is. if the russians have shot down a helicopter, they could say you have crossed the red line. >> it was deliberately vague all along. the western powers and europeans have worded it such that if they don't do more steps to make peace in ukraine, then we will have more sanctions. that clearly is a fuzzy line. >> if the real trigger is peace doesn't come to ukraine, then russia gets sanctioned, then at the end of the day we might really be punishing them for something they can't not do. it is not in their capacity to bring that about. this is a ukrainian problem at the end of the day. i am not sure anyone can solve this problem now that the genie is out of the bottle. >> thank you for coming in. >> a look at other news from around the world. police say 21

i take very much stapleton roy comments. and there's two ways to transfer them to a snappy phrase which then causes us to reach false strategic conclusions. that's the first caveat that we should all apply to a serious study of strategic affairs. the second point which arises in my mind is when we look at the content of the recent summit between vladimir putin and president xi jinping in shanghai, what does it actually mean as opposed to what everyone theorizes it means. and in 2 soviet relationships, does it mean a lot? and within that frame, are we looking at a dramatic event which fundamentally turns the dial in the arrangements which ken henry kissinger and richard nixon reached in the '70s, which was a strategic conversation between washington and beijing based oen a common attitude towards the soviet union. that was all genuine global strategic significance and the subsequent unfolding of what became modernized china as well. have we reached a new point at which that fundamental access has now changed? i think the -- p

emily renda, john kelly and jane stapleton. >> mr. chairman, while the next panel is assembling itself, let me say that i understand that there are circumstances that come through the sexual assault reporting mechanism at these universities that amount to less than criminal activity. my point is that unless you have somebody in the room who understands what felony sexual assault is and an ombudsman is not nearly as expert as a prosecutor or police officer, and if the institution can't support connecting with the police department in a way that is easy and supportive for the alleged victim, then you have real problems down the road. because by the time they do figure it out, it could easily be too late to gather the appropriate evidence. all sorts of statements have been made that fouled up criminal prosecution. you've really put the individual at risk in terms of defending her rights as a victim through the law enforcement process. >> i got that. i think we'll hear from someone on this panel that maybe a victim doesn't, they get caugh
