Survey on sexual violence at college campuses records 'deeply troubling findings'

Of the students who answered questions on sexual violence, 7% said they had been physically forced into oral sex, while 14% said they were subjected to it while 'incapacitated' and unable to give consent.

The first survey measuring sexual violence on college campuses has recorded “deeply troubling findings” when it comes to the level of harassment experienced by the staff and students who took part.

Published this Thursday morning by Higher Education Minister Simon Harris, the survey was conducted by the Higher Education Authority (HEA) in 2021.
