Results from national survey on sexual assault and misconduct available

The Association of American Universities has shared a summary report from the association’s 2019 Campus Climate Survey on Sexual Assault and Misconduct, which surveyed 33 participating universities to capture characteristics of campus sexual assault and misconduct.

The aggregate results from the participating universities suggest that, while students know more about resources for victims, they still aren’t using these resources often enough. The results also show that rates of sexual assault and misconduct have increased slightly since 2015 and that some groups of students continue to be victimized at disproportionately high rates.
