Bucs speak up

The Christian Brothers University was awarded a $296,769 Project Grant from the Department of Justice Offices Boards and Divisions Office on Violence Against Women. The grant was awarded under the Grants to Reduce Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking on Campus program (CFDA 16.525) and will support the BUCS SPEAK UP initiative from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2024.

The funding will be used to develop and strengthen effective security and investigation strategies to combat sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking on the Christian Brothers University campus in Memphis, Tennessee. It will also support the development and strengthening of victim services in cases involving such crimes against students. The grant aims to enhance campus safety through improved protocols and increased support services for victims of gender-based violence consistent with the goals of the Department of Justice program.
