RAD classes offered for spring semester 1:52 p.m., Feb. 8, 2005--To increase campus safety, Public Safety is offering Rape Aggression Defense (RAD) classes during spring semester. Each 15-hour course, which is offered in a series of five three-hour classes, teaches women how to combat sexual assaults and rapes through awareness and hands-on self-defense training. The classes in basic training are offered from 6-9 p.m., Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and are free to all female students, faculty and staff at UD. The classes, which include realistic simulation scenarios, are taught by certified instructors. Classes also teach participants how to improve home and personal security, how to avoid date rape and how to abide by laws when carrying Mace or other weapons. All self-defense tactics are designed to be used in a variety of confrontational situations, and class participants are encouraged to practice their techniques on officers dressed in padded equipment. The first five-week course in basic RAD training begins Monday, Feb. 14, in 002 McKinly Lab and continues through Monday, March 14. The second course begins Wednesday, Feb. 16, in 002 McKinly Lab and continues through Wednesday, March 16.
