This study presents data from a random sample survey of 1062 full time students at 4-year colleges in the USA, relating the percentage that has ever been sexual assaulted, and if they have ever been sexually assaulted on campus. Students also give their opinions about how severe a problem they believe sexual assault to be on their campus and they evaluate the appropriateness and effectiveness of college policies designed to deal with the problem.
Data in this 70-page reports is broken out by more than 20 institutional and personal variables, enabling the report's readers to compare rates of assault across many parameters. For example, readers can compare rates of sexual assault, overall and at the college itself, for gay vs straight students, male vs female or transgender students, or for Caucasian vs. African American or Asian American students, or for students from a range of income levels, SAT/ACT scores, college majors, political convictions and many other variables. In addition to personal variables, data in the report is also broken out by institutional variables, so, for example, a reader can assess opinions from students about their college policies on sexual assault from students at doctoral level institutions vs. those at research universities, or BA-level institutions. Other institutional variables include public/private status, tuition level and enrollment.
This is a critical resource for policy makers in academia as well as a unique data source for social scientists and other studying higher education.

- Nearly 51% of gay students but only about 24% of straight students, felt that the campus policies in place for alleged victims of sexual assault were too lax and disadvantaged alleged victims.
- 3.69% of men sampled say that they had been sexually assaulted at their college.
- 13.37% of college students who consider themselves political conservatives say that they have been sexually assaulted in their lifetimes.
