Description

This research project is the culmination of interviews, scholarly sources, magazine articles and various books regarding the incidence of sexual assault on college campuses. This also contains findings on how various U.S. universities have implemented sexual assault awareness campaigns and what methods they employ to alleviate the widespread social problem of sexual assault. This research project will contain information that will help other colleges successfully implement their own sexual assault prevention/rape culture campaign based on the success of other projects. Also addressed are the reasons for why such campaigns were founded, if it was entirely motivated on feminist activism or was in response to the university mishandling incidences of sexual assault.
