Student Assembly Meeting Oct. 1st
4:45-7:00pm in the Willard Straight Hall Memorial Room
Join us at 5:30pm for a Q&A session with President Garrett and VP Lombardi followed by a campus roundtable on sexual assault.
This roundtable is a follow-up to last week's release of the AAU campus sexual assault climate survey, which revealed that among Cornell undergraduates:
22% of females and 6% of males report experiences of non-consensual sexual conduct during their time at Cornell; Half of Cornell students [67% of females, 69% of transgender, genderqueer or non-conforming students] report that they have been sexually harassed; 44% of students who witnessed someone acting in a sexually violent or harassing manner intervened in some way; and 48% of Cornell survey respondents think that sexual assault or sexual misconduct is not problematic on campus. | Full Results of the Survey.
Co-Sponsored by the Women's Resource Center, Cayuga's Watchers, Cornell EMS, Wingman 101, Ellevate, Consent Ed, CAPSU, ALANA, SAC, Haven, CRUNCH, Lavender, TANGO, BSU, MGLC, Panhellenic Council, IFC, ISU, Every1 Campaign, OSC, The F Word Cornell, Slope Day Programming Board, and the Inter-Cooperative Council.
