The University of Missouri relocated its Relationship and Sexual Violence Prevention services in August, with the change announced on MU Engage on Sept. 14. RSVP outreach and education now operate at the Wellness Resource Center, while case management and clinical support are based at the Counseling Center.
Why it matters
The move reorganizes where Columbia-area students in the University of Missouri community can access sexual violence support, which is directed through campus offices rather than a single location. Students seeking help or reporting concerns should use the updated listings to find the right office.
Sexual violence investigations remain handled by the Office of Institutional Equity, a function not changed by the relocation. The source gives no figures on how many cases are currently open or how the new locations are performing.

Legal Context
Campus sexual violence support is shaped by Title IX federal requirements, which obligate universities to provide support services and handle investigations. The University of Missouri's reorganization keeps investigations with the Office of Institutional Equity while moving support services to new locations.
Students and staff who need support now go to the Counseling Center for case management and the Wellness Resource Center for outreach and education. The Care and Basic Needs Center in the Student Center basement offers food, hygiene products and school supplies.
The takeaway
Students who need sexual violence support should check the current office locations before visiting, since services have moved. Confirming the right office first can save time when seeking help.
