SEXUAL ASSAULT POLICY Sexual assault is a felony under the criminal laws of the State of Texas and will not be tolerated at Texas A&M University-Kingsville.  Any such act committed by a Texas A&M University-Kingsville student is a violation of the university’s Student Code of Conduct and subject to disciplinary action.  Texas A&M University-Kingsville is committed to providing an educational atmosphere in which students can achieve their goals and maximum potential. When students experience a sexual assault, their sense of safety and trust is violated.  This violation can seriously interfere with their lives and educational goals.  Thus, the university has established a Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) that can respond quickly and comprehensively to the incidence of sexual assault on campus.  SART team membership and protocol information are listed on the online version of the handbook at http://osa.tamuk.edu/studenthandbook/sexualharassments.html. You can also contact UPD (593-2611) for information.       < back >
