Analysis Summary
Most college students doubt their institutions will respond appropriately to sexual misconduct reports, with research showing only 16% of victims disclose their assault and many who do report don't receive effective institutional support. This reflects systemic failures in campus Title IX enforcement and victim care that have persisted despite federal requirements. The article likely cites institutional research on student perceptions and survivor outcome data, though the independent search didn't surface the specific studies cited.
