    Sexual Assault on Campus

    According to one recent study, as many as one in five female college students will be sexually assaulted in the course of her undergraduate career. According to another statistic, for every 1,000 women attending a university, there are 35 incidents of rape each academic year. Perhaps more troublingly, less than 5% of completed or attempted rapes against college women are reported to law enforcement, and reported assailants receive little or no punishment from their schools’ judicial sytems.
