College Administrators Gather For Summit On Campus Sexual Violence
Resume
The epidemic of sexual violence on college campuses is both rampant and vexingly difficult to tame. A new congressional study out this month found that more than 40 percent of colleges have not conducted a single sexual violence investigation in the past five years.
Monday, hundreds of college administrators from around the nation are gathering at Dartmouth College for a summit on how to get a handle on this problem.
The conference comes amid federal action on the problem as well. Dartmouth is one of 55 schools under investigation for their handling of sexual violence incidents.
