The most natural conclusion would be that either the Honor Code is considered simply fluff by many students, or that something about the environment created by the Honor Code encourages those so inclined to think that sexual assault is OK, … or perhaps it actually induces some potential assaultees (survivors) to let down their guard [itself no justification for the acts] - which is the opposite of “no one familiar with the college that I know has the expectation that it prevents bad stuff from happening on campus”.
When I was there, peeing outdoors was considered sexual assault… so the statistics could actually be a reflection of students taking the Honor Code very seriously.</p>
