Subject: RE: withdrawls after assaults

Our college does send an exit survey and they ask specific questions about
why students withdrew. The response rate is pretty poor but they usually
write the most general things. I know many drop out due to dating violence
or/and homelessness but they typically say financial reasons (which is often
homelessness) or family issues or health issues. the general categories
cover a lot of ground.

Subject: RE: Withdrawls After Assaults?

This is an issue that has occupied me for quite a long time.  To really get
an accurate set of data, one would have to get access to college records and
send a survey out to those who withdrew prior to graduation to find out why
someone left.  Even with that, it would take the participant the
understanding that they actually left because of an assault, and not because
of failing grades that we might recognize as the result of trauma.  Some
students might not make the connections if the assault occurred sometime
prior to leaving, just as some folks don't identify their assaults as rape
when they legally fit that description.
This is a really important issue, and I'm wondering if we couldn't all
collaborate on such a project. I'm not sure how we could do it, but it's
really worth exploring.
