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

[Howard Kallem <>]

I don't think so.  FERPA allows -- but does not require -- schools to release 
information about findings of responsibility for conduct that would be a 
crime, including sexual violence.  However, most schools choose not to do so, 
often out of a concern that the information could lead to the identification 
of the individuals involved.  [There is a case against Liberty University 
going through the courts in which the university actually released the name 
of the individual found responsible, with the student responding by suing 
both the university and the reporting student for defamation.]  While that 
might prevent you from pursuing your thesis below, it also gives the lie to 
the claim in many respondent lawsuits (and the press) that universities 
always find respondents (or, male respondents) responsible or always find 
them not responsible -- there is simply no information, as far as I know, to 
back up either claim.

Some schools do release information when, e.g., there are enough findings to 
make the information non-identifiable.  Duke has issues a report on this for 
the last two years.  We think it helps to show that we take the issue 
seriously and that our process if fair and balanced.  It also would help us 
counter any claims that we always find one way or the other.

Subject: Stat for how many campus perps are sanctioned or convicted?

Hey folks -

Is there any data out there that points to a percentage of how many 
perpetrators of sexual violence receive a campus sanction and/or criminal 
conviction?

Just trying to figure out a way to back up the statement that victim blaming 
can contribute to authorities being less likely to hold offenders accountable 
- or some connection along those lines.

Thank you!
