Thirty-one percent of Harvard’s female undergraduate students in their senior year reported experiencing some form of sexual assault over their college career, theHarvard Crimsonreported.
The results come from a sexual climate survey conducted by the Association of American Universities in spring 2015.
Among the institutions surveyed in the 27 AAU schools, Harvard had the highest response rate, and the number of respondents who said they experienced “nonconsensual penetration and sexual touching” was above the average. Twenty-nine percent of Harvard senior women reported this fact, as compared to the AAU average of 27.2 percent.
In a report to Harvard president Drew Faust by the Task Force on the Prevention of Sexual Assault, 73 percent of surveyed female undergraduates said they had experienced sexual harassment, which includes sexually crude jokes and offensive comments about their bodies. Fifty-one percent of male undergraduates recounted experiencing sexual harassment.
Faust called the findings “deeply disturbing” in an email to faculty, administrators and studentson Friday.
