1. College Related Assaults Roxana Manii Professor Julia Kaziewicz University 111

2. Statistics of assaults on college campuses(1990).  1 in 4 women in college will be sexually assaulted in an academic year(“Sexual assault”).  “There are 35.3 incidents of sexual assault per 1,000 female students on a campus as recorded over a 6.91 month period ” (“Sexual assault”).

3. My Claim  Colleges and Universities are responsible for ensuring that students feel safe on campus

4. How do we make this happen?  Colleges should report to and work closely with a specialized police force.  VCU Police.  Cases for sexual assaults should be reviewed and determined by the police rather than school administration.  The Dean of a school should not be the one to determine whether a case for sexual assault should be pursued or not.  Colleges should provide an easy and reliable source of communication between students and police.  Emergency police number, non emergency police number, VCU Police twitter, RamSafe escort service, text a tip.

5. Why do we need this?  http://www.hlntv.com/video/2014/10/01/could-jesse- matthew-be-linked-other-cases http://www.hlntv.com/video/2014/10/01/could-jesse- matthew-be-linked-other-cases  If all colleges had a specialized police force that was obligated to transfer all school and legal records to other schools, then repeated offenders such as Jesse Matthew would be kept on the radar, creating a safe environment.
