The new HESMA survey data indicates a statistically significant decline in sexual misconduct at the University since 2019, suggesting effective interventions are taking place.
Despite high awareness of reporting mechanisms, many students still do not utilize available resources following incidents of sexual assault or harassment.
Peggy Newell emphasized the necessity of climate surveys, stating, "We cannot rely on individual disclosures to determine the prevalence of harm that is occurring within our community."
The survey results will serve as a critical basis for enhancing sexual assault prevention practices and allocating resources more effectively at the University.
