One very prominent school was found to be only reporting a crime as rape if the perpetrator was caught and convicted, and this was just a few years ago. Colleges have historically tried to brush sexual assault charges under the rug – they don’t want the bad publicity. I have taught my daughters a couple of things – make sure the actual police are notified if they are assaulted, not just Campus Security (they are the same thing at some colleges, but not theirs). And say yes to rape kit/testing afterwards – it is intrusive, but their best shot at proving their allegation and keeping their assailant from assaulting another woman.
