Baylor University stands far apart from its higher education counterparts as the Texas college with the most reported sexual assault-related crimes in 2015 per 1,000 students, the year the most recent data was available.

That year the university self reported 23 rapes and 21 stalking incidents on campus as part of its adherence to the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, according to a Chron.com analysis of the school's crime report. The other sexual assault-related crimes included six dating violence incidents, three reports of fondling, and three reports of domestic violence.

When Baylor's 56 sexual assault-related crimes was compared to its student population that year (16,787), the school clocked 3.35 sexual assault-related crimes per 1,000 students. This is a dramatic increase from .79 students per 1,000 students in 2014, according to Clery data comparing the same sexual assault-related crimes (rape, fondling, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking).

Baylor's 2015 figure is more than two times larger than Lamar University, which had the second most with 1.53 crimes per 1,000 students, according to Chron.com's analysis.

Baylor's place atop this list is no surprise considering the university's ongoing sexual assault scandals where "since 2011, 17 female students reported sexual or domestic assault charges against 19 Baylor football players," CBS reported. The scandals captured national headlines nearly every month in 2016, resulting in Baylor firing football coach Art Briles in May that year. That next month, university president Ken Starr resigned.

"We need to put this horrible experience behind us," Starr told ESPN in June 2016. "We need to be honest."

The Clery Act is named after Jeanne Clery, a student who was raped and murdered in April 1986. Clery, a freshmen, was in Stoughton Hall at Pennsylvania's Lehigh University when she was killed.

"She was a random victim, and as the Clerys learned about the case, they became convinced that she died because of 'slipshod' campus security and accused the school of covering up campus crime," the Los Angeles Times reported in 2008. "[The family] sued Lehigh, contending that their daughter never would have attended the university if the record of crimes on its campus -- 38 assaults and other violent crimes over a three-year period -- had been made public."

The Clery Act was signed into federal law in 1990 and requires all universities to publicly publish an annual campus security report that contains data dating back three years. The reports must be published by Oct. 1 each year.

While the Clery Act has helped hold some universities accountable regarding crimes committed on campus, it has done little to lift the stigma most victims cannot overcome when it comes to reporting sexual violence.

Ashley Challburg

there is no statistics we could find on public record on sexual assault however we did find an article about Rexburg in general:

"Last night (February 15 2018), Rexburg Police received three calls about a man making unwanted sexual advances and contact toward three different women who were walking home alone. If you have any information that may help police find the alleged assailant, you are encouraged to contact Rexburg Police at 208-359-3000. Students who wish to have a personal escort to their apartments after dark may call Campus Security at 208-496-3000."

even though Rexburg is perceived as safe:

"Residents and students need to use caution, even in Rexburg," he said. "Don't be alone at night in the dark. Don't walk alone. We're lucky to live in a safe, sound community, but these things till occur here."

REXBURG - A trio of calls where three Brigham Young University-Idaho female students complained about being hit and groped by an unknown male in a single hour kept Rexburg police officers busy Thursday night.

Rexburg officers responded to the first incident where a woman reported a man hitting her buttocks. The female student was headed to her home when the stranger attacked her, said police.

Shortly after, police received a call for a similar crime.

"Rexburg Police were dispatched to a local parking garage due to what ended up being the second of three reported battery incidents," police said in their report. "In this second reported incident, the female victim reported being smacked on her butt by an unknown male while walking to her apartment at night."

Within that same hour, officers received another complaint that involved groping a woman.

"In this third reported incident, the female victim reported an unknown male grabbing her breast while walking home at night," said police in their report.

An email was sent to BYU-Idaho students notifying them of the incidents just after 10 AM Friday morning:

"Last night, Rexburg Police received three calls about a man making unwanted sexual advances and contact toward three different women who were walking home alone. If you have any information that may help police find the alleged assailant, you are encouraged to contact Rexburg Police at 208-359-3000. Students who wish to have a personal escort to their apartments after dark may call Campus Security at 208-496-3000. Please visit the http://emergency.byui.edu/sexual-misconduct/ to learn more about how to respond to a sexual assault situation and resources to help victims of sexual abuse. If you have additional concerns or needs please contact the BYU-Idaho Title IX Office at 208-496-9209."

It wasn't known if it was the same man abusing the women in all three cases. The incidents remain under investigation.

Captain Randy Lewis, with the Rexburg Police Department, told the Standard Journal about what happened.

"Last night, starting around 9:59 p.m. we got called on an incident on S 1st west and west 3rd out near the Hart Gym," he said. "While a woman was walking through the crosswalk, a vehicle pulled up to her. She said she recognized three individuals as males in it. One got out of the back of the car, who walked over to her and made a comment to her and walked past her. He then walked back, smacked her in the butt, and returned to the vehicle."

Lewis then described a second incident of a similar report.

"We got another call about 11 p.m., near South 1st West and Viking Drive. A gal was walking and a vehicle pulled up, a silver-grey car 4-door hatchback. One of the again, males, exited from the back of the vehicle. He ran towards the woman and she stopped. He apologized for startling her and walked past her. He then turned around and grabbed her right breast."

A final report came in about an incident that had happened a half-hour earlier.

"At 10:25 p.m. in a parking garage, the same color of car pulled up to a woman walking on the first floor. A man got out of a vehicle, ran and slapped a hanging parking sign, and then ran back and hit the woman in the butt."

Lewis also said there was a camera in one of the areas, and he hopes to view that footage soon. He said striking another person is a criminal offense, and that it was only a matter of time before the perpetrators were caught.

"We do believe it was the same vehicle in all incidents," he said. "Three males were involved, and the license plate started with 1M. If anybody has any information, or if those who did this would like to shorten the investigation process, come in and let's get this taken care of. It'll be a little less uncomfortable if they come in."

Lewis said that people need to not take their safety for granted just because they live in a calm community.

"Residents and students need to use caution, even in Rexburg," he said. "Don't be alone at night in the dark. Don't walk alone. We're lucky to live in a safe, sound community, but these things till occur here."

Dear UT Community,

Today, we are releasing a report that details the prevalence of sexual assault and misconduct at The University of Texas at Austin. The data is drawn from the Cultivating Learning and Safe Environments (CLASE) survey that the University of Texas System conducted at 13 UT institutions across the state last year.

The results of this survey of our students are of tremendous concern to me, and I know these findings are deeply troubling to every member of our community. This survey reveals a problem in our university, as well as society, that has existed in the shadows for too long.

CLASE found that 15 percent of undergraduate women at UT Austin reported that they had been raped, either through force, threat of force, incapacitation or other forms of coercion such as lies and verbal pressure.

Furthermore, 28 percent of undergraduate women at UT Austin said they were the victims of unwanted sexual touching, and 12 percent experienced attempted rape. Thirteen percent of graduate and professional school women said they experienced crude sexual harassment perpetrated by a staff or faculty member, with 30 percent experiencing sexist gender harassment and 5 percent unwanted sexual attention harassment.

The majority (87 percent) of unwanted sexual contact incidents were reported to have occurred off of the UT Austin campus.

This survey is a wake-up call to me, as it should be for every student, faculty member and staff member at UT Austin.

I have said throughout my presidency that sexual misconduct will not be tolerated. Every individual who serves our university must feel valued, respected and free to learn and work in a safe environment. But what this survey makes clear is that many on our campus have not had that experience. We have let them down and we need to improve - not in a year, not in a month, but right now.

The first injustice committed in every assault or inappropriate behavior is the act itself, but the second injustice is often the silence of the community surrounding that victim. We must not be silent anymore, and we must not be afraid to face this problem.

There are many resources and programs available for our students to address issues of sexual misconduct, including Voices Against Violence, Counseling and Mental Health Center Crisis Line, Title IX Office, Employee Assistance Program, Student Emergency Services, Behavior Concerns Advice Line and UTPD. We want to create a culture of awareness and prevention on our campus so that students are empowered to speak out if they are victims, to report inappropriate activity if they see it and to recognize threatening behavior before it becomes action.

I thank the 7,500 students at UT Austin who voluntarily and confidentially filled out online questionnaires for this survey. The complete report of the CLASE survey results for UT Austin is available here.

I want survivors to report and know that their university cares about them - their experiences must be reported. If you or someone you know has been the victim of sexual assault or misconduct, please contact our Title IX Office immediately.

No voice is too quiet to listen to. No story of abuse is too minor to ignore. No truth is too uncomfortable to face. We support you.

Sincerely,

Gregory L. Fenves
President
