U. S. Inquiries Into Sexual Assault • 1 in every 4 women are sexually assaulted during their years on a college campus. • Freshman and sophomores are at a greater risk for victimization than juniors and seniors. • Sexual assaults were more likely to occur in September, October and November, on Friday or Saturday nights, and between the hours of midnight and 6:00am. • Less than 5% of completed or attempted rape against college women were reported to law enforcement.

OCR Title IX Sexual Violence Investigations • In May 2014, there were 55 colleges and universities under investigation by the Office for Civil Rights (OCR). • In October 2015, the number increased to 144 for potential violations of Title IX (e.g. Michigan State University, University of Virginia, University of South Florida). • In 2014, in took OCR an average of 1,469 days (4 years) to close a case, with continued oversight of Title IX training and programming initiatives. HOW DOES HCC STAY OFF THE LIST? Complying with federal law that requires educational institutions to adequately respond to cases of sexual assault on campus.
