This morning Vice President for Student Life, Robin Holmes, sent out an email requesting students take part in a survey about sexual assault and misconduct. The deadline for the survey is Friday, May, 8.
“Sexual violence is a scourge across the nation,” Rita Radostitz, Director of Strategic Communications in Student Life said.
Radostitz said students should fill out the survey so the university can get a better perspective of student experience in order to facilitate programs to help prevent sexual assault on campus.
The UO is one of 28 universities taking part in the survey provided by the Association of American Universities.
A sample of 6,000 students who take part in the survey will get a $5 Amazon gift card. Those not selected for the gift card will be entered in a lottery for $500.
According to the AAU’s website this survey is one of the largest regarding sexual assault. They project the survey will reach over 800,000 undergraduate, graduate and professional students.
