Grand Forks, N.D. (AP) The University of North Dakota says an official will be working at the school to act as a confidential advocate for student, staff and faculty victims of sexual violence.
The school says it agreed to partner with Grand Forks Community Violence Intervention Center to place an employee from the shelter at the university beginning next month.
Under the plan, the shelter employee would work about 20 hours per week at the university.
Officials say the cost of the effort is estimated at $20,000 annually and the school will pay for it.
The service is provided at no charge.
