WMU "Campus Climate" Survey Results

Most students at Western Michigan University feel safe from sexual violence on campus. The university says that's according to the results of a national "campus climate" survey earlier this year.

Eight of ten Western students who responded said they felt safe on campus, and that the university's faculty and administration was concerned about them. But almost a third of female students said they have experienced unwanted sexual contact before coming to Western.

The university says about 12-percent of Western's 36,000 students took the survey last spring.

WMU officials say they will "continue (the university's) current efforts to inform, train, and reinforce information students receive about resources and ways to report incidents."

The university has set up a special Web page with information about its sexual violence and harrassment data.
