One in five women and one in sixteen men are sexually assaulted while in college. 90% go unreported. LGBTQ students, black students, and students living with disabilities all have higher risks of being sexually assaulted on-campus. That’s according to the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape. Many of these sexual assaults occur during the first semester on campus. College and universities are much more conscious of the dangers of sexual crimes and most have taken steps to prevent it and make students more aware. But is it enough?
