Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

I really believe the idea offered earlier about the possibility of first
year students reporting info to authorities or speaking to someone in
authority in the first few months before friendships are formed and distrust
of the system could be a real application of Occam's Razor to this issue and
the lack of research to support this idea.  Though the Virginia Survey looks
promising. Just because intelligence increases with foot size does not mean
there is a correlation.

Life stuff so I do have the college expereince part down.  And to all those
Res Life folks out there going crazy with training RA's, and RD's and all
those folks - Don't forget to take care of yourself.

Subject: First semester rape


I think Mr. Thomson's survey at Virginia is indicative of what we all have
seen anecdotally and repeatedly:  rape in the first months of the freshman
year is common.  The reasons for this are that freshman girls arrive on
campus naïve and not knowing their limits with regard to alcohol.  For this
reason they may be targeted more frequently.  Education (before they get to
college) is essential.
