In 2015, the Association of American Universities (AAU) led the creation of a sexual assault climate survey to examine the prevalence of and attitudes around gender-based violence. UW–Madison volunteered to take part in the inaugural survey and participated again in 2019. The survey ran for six weeks in the spring 2019 semester.
The results provide an understanding of how issues of sexual assault, stalking, intimate partner violence, and sexual harassment negatively impact our campus to guide policies that best support a healthy, safe, and nondiscriminatory environment.
