For the first time, the federal government has issued guidance to schools under the umbrella of Title IX – the law normally associated with gender equity in sports – on how to address issues of sexual assault. According to a 2007 survey financed by the Justice Department, 1 in 5 undergraduate women are victims of attempted or actual sexual assault, as 1 in 16 undergraduate men.

Dang! - that makes being in prison seem "safe". Oh, wait - is there that much of a difference? I can understand the DoJ confusing the statistics. :rolleyes:

Colleges are required to publish crime statistics and I remember looking at them for my old uni with a student population of ~13,000. For sexual assault the numbers read like this:

year 1: 0
year 2: 2
year 3: 0
year 4: 0
year 5: 1
year 6: 0

and so on...

OH WAIT! - it must be under reporting! :rolleyes:

What's more of concern is "sexual harassment" - a weapon of first choice for every feminazi. The stats for that must be through the roof for any college with a "woman's studies" program...

I wish Obama would target sexual assaults in airports and train stations first.

more from the article:

American high schools see nearly 4,000 reports of sexual battery and over 800 rapes and attempted rapes each year, Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said at Monday's event. More than 1 in 10 high school girls are physically forced to have sex against their will by the time they graduate, he said.

Ok, 1 in 10 are raped over a 4 year period, so that's 1 in 40 a year...

http://usgovinfo.about.com/od/censusandstatistics/a/schoolboom.htm

Nine million children, age 3 and older, were enrolled in nursery school and kindergarten, 33 million in elementary school and 17 million in high school. There were nearly 17 million college students.

ok, by the 1 in 40 claim tha'ts 425,000 HS girls that get raped a year.
by the 1 in 10 sometime during HS claim that's 1,700,000 (1.7 Million) HS girls that get raped sometime during HS.

Yes, that is a bit OVER the reported 800 rapes a year... :rolleyes:

So the question remains was it Secretary of Education Arnie Duncan or the reporter that flunked basic math in elementary school? - curious minds want to know!

[correction - the 800 number is all students, the 1 in 10 is just girls, so half my numbers in regards to just girls.]

Also this - lowering standards:

In evaluating cases, schools must use the “preponderance of the evidence” standard of proof in meting out punishment – the standard used in civil lawsuits – as in, was it "more likely than not" that sexual violence occurred? Currently, some schools use the stronger “clear and convincing” standard generally used by the criminal courts.
