NASHVILLE - Surveys taken by Vanderbilt University students reveal new information about sexual assaults on campus.
The Tennessean reports the university asked students in spring 2015 to take one of two surveys on sexual assault. The results were released Tuesday.
One survey, written by the independent Education Advisory Board, found that 156 out of 1,651 students said they had been victims of sexual assault - including rape, fondling or unwanted kissing - during the 2014-15 school year.
In the second survey, written by education technology company EverFi, 140 out of 1,402 students said they had experienced sexual contact or attempted unwanted sexual contact as the result of various factors including physical force.
Vanderbilt Chancellor Nicholas Zeppos said the results also offer invaluable information about how incidents are or aren't reported.
