Portland State University administered its first sexual misconduct campus climate survey during the spring term 2016. PSU invited 12,556 of its undergraduate and graduate students, as a representative sample, to participate in the survey and obtained a 19% response rate.
PSU’s Sexual Misconduct Campus Climate Survey findings offer insights into students’ experiences, perceptions, and attitudes related to sexual misconduct and offer an opportunity to identify areas requiring a tailored campus-wide response that will enhance students’ safety.
