Why is Title IX Sexual Assault Prevention Compliance Important for Saint Mary’s

College?

Recent data shows nearly 4,000 reported incidents of sexual battery and over 800 reported rapes and attempted rapes occurring in our nation’s public and private schools.*

When young women get to college, nearly 20% of them will be the victims of attempted or actual sexual assault, as will about 6% of undergraduate men.

Victims of sexual assault are more likely to suffer academically and from depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, to abuse alcohol and drugs, and to contemplate suicide.
