HEADLINES REGARDING SEXUAL
ASSAULT IN RECENT YEARS.
BECOMING A PRIORITY IN PUBLIC
SAFETY FOR SOME STATES AND
CITIES.
HOWEVER, VERY FEW SCHOOLS THAT
MAKE HEADLINES ARE HBCUS. IS
THIS BECAUSE IT HAPPENS LESS
OFTEN ON THESE CAMPUSES?

Do I think sexual assault is a problem
on this campus? Yes.

Monet Booth/ HU Student
So I do feel like sexual assault is a
very prevalent issue on Howards
campus, but not necessarily just only
Howards campus. I feel like um at
universities all over.

I mean I dont know any specific
cases but Im pretty sure that its
happened before and it needs to be
stopped.
BASED ON A PUBLIC POLL HBCU
STUDENTS BELIEVE SEXUAL ASSAULT
IS A PROBLEM ON THEIR CAMPUSES
EVEN IF THEY BELIEVE IT OCCURS AS
FREQUENTLY AS OTHER SCHOOLS.

CAMPUS SECURITY REPORTS,
COMPARING HBCUS TO

AREA
HOWARD UNIVERSITY HAD 2 IN
EVERY 1,000 STUDENTS REPORT A
SEXUAL ASSAULT AS COMPARED TO
GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY ONLY 1 IN
1,000 STUDENTS.
DELAWARE STATE UNIVERSITY HAD 3
IN EVERY 1,000 STUDENTS AS
COMPARED TO UNIVERSITY OF
DELAWARE HAVING 1 IN 1,000
STUDENTS. AND FLORIDA A&M
UNIVERSITY HAD 1 IN EVERY 1,000
STUDENTS AS COMPARED TO
FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY HAVING
ONLY 1 IN 10,000 STUDENTS REPORT
A SEXUAL ASSAULT
HOWEVER IT IS KNOWN THAT
VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT DONT
REPORT ABUSE LIKE THIS HOWARD
UNIVERSITY FRESHMAN WHO WOULD
PREFER TO REMAIN ANONYMOUS.

I dont necessarily want to because I
dont know if he knew the magnitude
of what he was doing. If that makes
sense? Or I dont think hes like a bad
person. So I just didnt want to let it
get to that point.

TRUTH BE TOLD SEXUAL ASSAULT IS
A PROBLEM ON ALL COLLEGE
CAMPUSES AND ACCORDING TO
STUDENTS THE NEXT STEP IS TO
CREATE BETTER PROGRAMS FOR
THOSE WHO VICTIMS. FOR
