• And speaking of higher education, U.S. News & World Report, a trusted resource for the incoming college crowd, was asked by twelve Congressional representatives whether they might want to include sexual assault data in their school write-ups, ‘cause whether a college is rape central is a pretty good thing to know if you’re thinking of going there, you know?

Many sexual assaults go unreported or uninvestigated, especially on college campuses. That’s part of the problem, not a reason to downplay it. They will, however, include sexual assault data on their website. (HyperVocal)
