In February 2019, IJʿ participated in the Higher Education Data Sharing (HEDS) Consortium’s Sexual Assault Campus Climate Survey.
This page contains descriptive language of sexual assault and other gender-based violence that may be triggering to survivors and others.
In February 2019, IJʿ administered the Higher Education Data Sharing (HEDS) Consortium’s for the second time. We wanted to learn our students’ perceptions of IJʿ’s climate for unwanted sexual contact and sexual assault, how IJʿ responds to sexual assaults, and whether and how often they have experienced unwanted sexual contact or sexual assault. We are sharing the results in order to engage the campus community in informed discussion about how to address this complex and difficult issue.
This page shares a summary of the survey results. You may review the full data set here. You may also review the results to the 2015 survey administration.

Survey Information
Timing, Distribution Method, and Scope
- Administered electronically to all students February 5, 2019 - February 24, 2019
- Responses were anonymous
- All demographic information was voluntarily self-reported; therefore, not all counts add up to total who responded.
- Women are overrepresented in the sample (82%)
- Not a random sample, so it is difficult to generalize to our undergraduate population; the purpose of the survey was rather to inform about respondents’ experiences and perceptions
