Iowa City RVAP to merge with DVIP amid UI transition
The University of Iowa will merge its Rape Victim Advocacy Program with Iowa City based Domestic Violence Intervention Program by Sept 30, absorbing RVAP’s rape crisis and related services while trimming staff. Twelve RVAP employees face layoffs. four term employees are ending June 30. The move preserves services in eight southeast Iowa counties and maintains campus access for UI students staff and faculty. The merged agency will operate under DVIP with RVAP’s crisis line counseling financial aid and prevention education. The transition aligns with state regional restructuring of victim services and comes as advocates warn of cuts to state and federal funding for crime victims programs.
