There’s a problem in our country, Ralph.
Sexual assault is an epidemic on our college and university campuses, yet these crimes are dramatically underreported (95 percent of attacks go unreported) and insufficiently investigated: 41 percent of institutions recently surveyed had not conducted a single investigation of sexual violence on their campuses in the past five years.
It’s unconscionable. At a time when they desperately need support, sexual assault survivors are often left facing untrained administrators, convoluted disciplinary proceedings and a culture that blames the victim.
There are students out there right now who are counting on us. Today, we can take action to support survivors and help stop campus sexual assault. The bipartisan Campus Accountability and Safety Act will ensure schools take proactive steps to protect their students and rid their campuses of sexual predators.
Will you join me and grassroots activists in urging Congress to pass the Campus Accountability and Safety Act now?

Too many young women and men become the victims of sexual violence during their college careers.
We can and must do more to prevent sexual assault, empower survivors and hold school accountable for the safety of their students. We can do just that by passing the Campus Accountability and Safety Act.
Thank you for standing with me, our students and Americans across the country on this critical issue.
