    Nothing new here. About 20% of women on university campuses are sexually assaulted or raped in some fashion.

    I saw an article with that number, and it seemed to have a pretty loose definition of rape. Say you meet a girl and she decides completely on her own accord that she needs to have sex with you to keep you around, some consider that rape.

    Yeah, but even if the definition of rape is loose, most "hard" definitions of rape go without being reported, so I think it's still an accurate number.

    At MTSU I would get several emails a week about different sexual assault cases on campus.

    My UT email has only been active for a week and there have been one or two reports sent out as well.

    20% seems extremely high though. I would've figured 10% tops.

    I find it really hard to believe that 1 in 5 or 1 in 10 women that attend college are raped or sexually assaulted. That number is astronomically high, think about it.

    I have known several women involved in false rape scenarios. It probably makes up for the ones that do go unreported.

    I honestly think this stat is skewed. But I am not going to touch that one any farther.

    So about 30,000 students attend UT and about half are women. If about 20% are sexually assaulted then 3,000 women are sexually assaulted a year at UT. 10 a day.

    I do not buy that. I hope that number is nowhere near true and it's much much lower.

    I would like to think that universities would be obligated to do something if that was indeed the case.
