Our Essay Contest Sexual assault on college campuses is a public health issue affecting students around the country every day. Although its a difficult topic to talk about, with 11.2% of all undergraduate and graduate students experiencing rape or sexual assault, building awareness and prevention plans is vital. Background On Sexual Assault On College Campuses Since 1972, college students have had access to Title IX coordinators as a measure of dealing with all types of discrimination.
