NO. NEXT QUESTION? Do we really have a campus sexual assault ‘epidemic’? “The fact that the most recent rates of campus sexual assault in 2012 are both below the levels in 2001, 2002 and 2003, and just slightly above their 12-year averages, might suggest that the term ‘epidemic’ is an inaccurate and exaggerated description of the actual data on campus sexual assaults. For as much as we’ve constantly heard about a ‘campus sexual assault epidemic’ this year, I’ve never once seen any actual campus crime data presented to support such a fantastic claim.”
