E-mail blasts from universities is a procedure that schools often have when a crime happens in campus so they can inform students to be more cautious.
Besides the e-mail sent out by school administrators, there are other preventative measures that schools have to keep their students safe, and these protocols varies in every campus.
Some campuses deal with sexual
assault better than others, and because of this, an audit was issued by the
state of California to four of its schools to investigate preventative measures and protocols on sexual abuse that these chosen campuses have.
The four schools chosen by the
state auditor to investigate are: Chico State, UCLA, UC Berkley and San
Diego State.
The audit was issued last November, and the results will be available this April.
The audit was issued last November, and the results will be available this April.
This blog will serve as a guide and an examination of the current audit, and will have updates throughout the ongoing
investigation. I will also put up the result of the audits as soon as it
becomes available in August.
In the mean time...
To get a better grasp of how
serious sexual assaults are in college universities, here is a link to an
article by Robin Hattersly Gray, from campussafetymagazine.com that gives
sexual assault statistics on college communities:
To learn more about the current
audit, here is a link to an article written by Bill Hall, from The Orion (Chico
State College’s student paper):
The following chart shows data about sexual assault (forcible & non forcible) in Chico State College from the Clery Report. The Clery Report is an annual security report. The data represented on this chart are from 2010-2012. It shows records of reported crimes to school administration by the students. However, the data does not reflect the actual number of sexual crimes committed against students, as reports will show, most of the students who are victims of sexual abuse do not always report the crime committed against them.
