HAMMOND – The Southeastern Louisiana University Police Department will offer a Rape Aggression
Defense (RAD) self-defense class for women in the community July 26-28. The class
is open to female Southeastern students, employees, and their guests 12 years of age
or older.
"The RAD System of Physical Defense is currently being taught at many colleges
and universities and in communities throughout the United States, Canada, and the
United Kingdom," said Southeastern Police Officer Scott Huff. "The growing, widespread
acceptance of this system is primarily due to the ease, simplicity and effectiveness
of our tactics, solid research, and unique teaching methodology."
The class will be held at a confidential location on or near Southeastern's main
campus in Hammond. The three four-hour sessions (total of 12 hours) for the class
will include Friday evening, Saturday afternoon, and Sunday afternoon. Attendance
at all three sessions is necessary to complete the course.
While enrolled Southeastern students are admitted free, there is a $25 charge
for current Southeastern faculty and staff, which must be paid in advance to obtain
a space on the class roster, Huff said. Students or employees may bring non-student
guests at an additional charge of $25 per guest. Since space is limited, and early
registration is recommended.
For more information or to register for the class, e-mail Huff at RAD@southeastern.edu with the name and telephone number of the participant(s).
