Survey: 25 Percent Of Undergraduate Women Receive Unwanted Sexual Contact

A new survey finds that a quarter of undergraduate women at more than two dozen universities experienced unwanted sexual contact at some point during their collegiate career. The survey by the Association of American Universities comes at a time of heightened public awareness and increased scrutiny of what schools are doing to combat campus sexual assault. More than 150,000 undergraduate, graduate and professional students at the organization's member schools participated. The results were generally in line with past surveys on sexual assault and misconduct on college campuses - and confirmed that alcohol and drugs are important risk factors.
