The results of the Association of American Universities (AAU) Campus Climate Survey show Iowa State University students reported fewer cases of sexual assault or misconduct compared to the overall survey. More than 52-hundred Iowa State students took the survey and nine-point-seven percent reported unwanted sexual contact compared to the overall average of 11-point-seven percent. I-S-U spokesman, John McCarroll says 27 institutions took part in the survey.

A little more than 29 percent of I-S-U students say they are knowledgeable about university definitions of sexual assault and sexual misconduct, and 34 percent said they knew where to seek help in such cases. The survey found around 70 percent of students took action to get the victim help if they suspected a friend had been sexually assaulted.
Nearly 40 percent said they had witnessed a drunken person “heading for a sexual encounter,” but 75-point-eight percent said they took no action. About 10 percent said they directly intervened.

McCarroll says the survey should provide additional help in making people aware of the issue.
