Submitted by Frances Whited, whited.16@osu.edu
Please encourage students to complete Ohio State’s climate survey on sexual misconduct, which will be available to students through April 21. All students on all campuses are encouraged to complete the survey as information collected will allow the university to inform and further enhance Buckeyes ACT, Ohio State’s comprehensive plan to combat sexual misconduct.
Administered by the Association of American Universities (AAU), Ohio State voluntarily committed to the take part in the survey and results will be released in Fall 2019. The 2019 study is a follow-up to the 2015 AAU Campus Climate Survey on Sexual Assault and Sexual Misconduct, in which Ohio State participated. Ohio State has also conducted two additional climate surveys in 2016 and 2017, using an instrument adapted from the 2015 AAU survey. Results from these surveys and additional information are available at: https://www.osu.edu/BuckeyesACT.
