In the Eye of the Reformer: Higher Education Personnel Perspectives on Campus Sexual Assault Policy Implementation
Journal of School Violence, v19 n4 p433-445 2020
Despite recent attention to campus sexual assault (CSA), we know little about how institutions of higher education (IHE) have approached policy reform. Using anonymous web-based survey responses of 190 staff, faculty, and administrators from IHEs, we examined priorities that guided CSA policy implementation, as well as characteristics that explain attitudes toward CSA policy reforms. Respondents were significantly more likely to think policies had improved than to think that CSA is exaggerated or feel frustrated by the process of implementing CSA reforms. Respondents were also more likely to name due process and fairness as a high priority on their campus than creating a victim-centered response or managing the campus' public image, suggesting that IHEs have carefully considered due process protections as they have implemented policies.
