The Ohio University Survivor Advocacy Program is currently looking for a new program coordinator as Delaney Anderson has accepted a job elsewhere.
Delaney Anderson will no longer serve as the program coordinator for the Ohio University Survivor Advocacy Program, according to Shari Clarke, vice provost for diversity and inclusion.
After working at OUSAP for less than a year, Anderson will leave the university for a new job outside of OU, Clarke said in an email sent Monday. Anderson started working at OU in November.
The Office for Diversity and Inclusion will uphold its financial commitment to OUSAP and it is undergoing a search for a licensed and credentialed program coordinator, according to Clarke's email.
“The undergraduate peer advocate program will be placed on hold until a new licensed and credentialed program coordinator has been identified,” Clarke said in the email.
The graduate assistantships and stipends will not be affected, according to the email.
Alicia Chavira-Prado, special assistant to the vice provost for diversity and inclusion, will be in charge of administrative leadership of OUSAP, according to the email.
Pending clients of OUSAP will be referred to Counseling and Psychological Services, Clarke said in the email.
OUSAP’s Crisis Line will include a recorded message directing callers to Counseling and Psychological Services and the 24/7 Crisis Intervention Service, according to the email.

In September, The Post reported the program would receive $90,000 in funding from the university’s budget and a part of the general operating fund within the Office of Diversity and Inclusion. The university started funding the program in October.
The mission of OUSAP, which was launched in July 2010, is “to create a safe campus where victims and survivors of sexual assault, stalking, and dating and domestic violence are thoroughly respected and supported,” according to its website.
Lindley Hall now houses OUSAP, after making the move from McKee House in August, according to previous Post reports.
