We have a problem, and we are going to get after it,” said UVA President Teresa Sullivan in a hastily-announced address. Sullivan had been set to appear at the National Press Club on Monday, but announced that she would address school affiliates instead. **MORE:** [The sexual assault crisis on American campuses](http://time.com/100542/the-sexual-assault-crisis-on-american-campuses/) Sexual assault training for faculty, meetings with leaders of Greek life, additional funding for trauma counseling and an evaluation of university alcohol policies were among the initiatives announced Monday.
