I feel that in the past few weeks there have been spotlights in the media regarding sexual assault and college campuses and it seems that colleges and universities are complying with the new federal mandates and approaching sexual assault cases in a more direct manner. If 1 in 4 women and 1 in 33 men are experiencing at least one sexual assault in their lifetime, it is clear that improvements in prevention efforts needed to be made. I look forward to see future sexual assault statistics to see if these efforts have made a difference over a long period of time. I hope this blog encourages people to step in and prevent sexual assaults and to become more aware of this issue within our community.

I agree with you. Any effort that results in one less sexual assault is worth it. In helping others realize that they are not alone and there are resources available is a valuable asset for any college campus or community. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteKacey, your blog this semester has been one of the most interesting and well presented ones. I like that something is being done to prevent sexual assault, but I agree this is a battle that will continue to need to be fought. Good luck with all that you do in your office to help.
