More Federal Money For Campus Sexual Assault Victims

time.com

Victims of sexual assault on Ohio college campuses are getting more than 1.2 million dollars grants, part of 3 million in federal Victims of Crime Act funds set aside earlier this year. It will allow colleges and universities to promote education and awareness and create partnerships with community-based organizations.  The money went to four rape crisis centers and nine colleges and universities. They include Ohio State, Kent State, Bowling Green, Miami and the universities of Cincinnati and Toledo.  An Association of American Universities report this year found nearly a quarter of undergraduate women at more than two dozen universities said they experienced unwanted sexual contact sometime during their academic careets.
