Sander, Libby – Chronicle of Higher Education, 2008
This article reports on the situation unfolding at the University of Iowa which is all too familiar: Two athletes are accused of rape. The university botches its response. Heads roll.

Carmody, Dianne; Ekhomu, Jessica; Payne, Brian K. – College Student Journal, 2009
Most campuses have sexual assault crisis centers that are designed to assist victims and educate the college community about this crime.

In the current study, campus…

Burnett, Ann; Mattern, Jody L.; Herakova, Liliana L.; Kahl, David H., Jr.; Tobola, Cloy; Bornsen, Susan E. – Journal of Applied Communication Research, 2009
Previous studies suggest that college campuses foster a rape culture in which date rape (most commonly, rape of women) is an accepted part of campus activity (Buchwald, Fletcher, & Roth, 1993; Sanday, 2007). In focus groups at a Midwestern university, researchers asked students about rape as they experienced it or knew about it on campus. The…
