As part of ongoing efforts to address, respond to and raise awareness about interpersonal violence, the Chancellor’s Task Force on Sexual and Relationship Violence, with support from the Office of Institutional Research, administered the 2020 Sexual and Relationship Violence Student Climate Survey. The survey, which was also conducted in 2018, is administered in alignment with the New York State Enough is Enough legislation requirement and aims to gauge students’ attitudes, awareness and experiences related to sexual assault, stalking, dating violence and sexual harassment.
“The information provided from students who completed the survey in 2018 and 2020, as well as from other data and feedback surrounding programs, services and resources, provides important insight to guide and direct our continuing work to prevent and address sexual and relationship violence,” says Rob Hradsky, vice president for the student experience and co-chair of the Chancellor’s Task Force on Sexual and Relationship Violence.
This year’s survey garnered a 29 percent response rate from the stratified random sample of nearly 4,000 undergraduate, graduate and law students. The responses offer themes and key learnings that can inform the ways in which the University addresses sexual and relationship violence on campus. The full results of the survey can be accessed by students, faculty and staff by logging into MySlice.
Key findings from the students who responded to the 2020 survey include the following:
