Sexual assault disproportionately affects college students. Because most survivors do not report sexual assault, research has explored individual factors related to the reporting, with limited research exploring institutional-level factors related to victims' decisions to report their experiences.
The purpose of this research was to describe three key areas: (a) campus assault adjudication, (b) protocols and campus responses to assault, and (c) provision of student prevention education regarding sexual violence.
A nationally representative sample of 1,067 campus administrators responded to a survey regarding institutional sexual assault policies and procedures.
Findings suggest that although many institutions are responding adequately to sexual assault in these three areas, improvements are possible. Implications for improving campus responses and further research are discussed.
性侵犯对大学生的影响尤为严重。由于大多数幸存者并未举报性侵犯行为，研究主要探讨了与举报相关的个人因素，而对与受害者举报经历决定相关的机构层面因素的研究有限。
本研究的目的是描述三个关键领域：（a）校园性侵裁决，（b）针对性侵的协议和校园应对措施，以及（c）提供关于性暴力的学生预防教育。
1067名校园管理人员的全国代表性样本对一项关于机构性侵犯政策和程序的调查做出了回应。
研究结果表明，尽管许多机构在这三个领域对性侵犯做出了充分回应，但仍有改进的空间。讨论了改善校园应对措施的意义和进一步的研究方向。
