Tufts Attitudes About Sexual Conduct Survey (TASCS): Report In the fall of 2013, President Monaco brought together a group of faculty, staff and students from all three Tufts campuses, with the goal of raising awareness of sexual misconduct at Tufts and more effectively addressing concerns raised by students and others about this critical campus issue. Through its three working groups, the President’s Sexual Misconduct Prevention Task Force has worked through a number of important University-wide tasks. They include reviewing and revising policies and procedures related to sexual misconduct; assessing and improving resources to support those affected by sexual misconduct, and enhancing educational and awareness programs to mitigate, prevent and address sexual misconduct. The Resources and the Prevention working groups were specifically charged with assisting the Provost’s office in crafting a university-wide survey to assess the attitudes of all Tufts graduate and undergraduate students on the topic of sexual assault and other sexual misconduct. The survey was also designed to elicit student perceptions about and experiences with sexual misconduct and with existing resources to address sexual misconduct at Tufts. The result of the subcommittees' efforts was the first Tufts Attitudes on Sexual Conduct Survey (TASCS). The TASCS was launched during the spring 2015 semester. We sent the survey to all undergraduate and graduate students enrolled on Tufts' three campuses, and 28.7% of students responded. The survey was entirely anonymous and confidential, and it provided crucial information about the student experience at Tufts. As promised, we have collected, reviewed and aggregated the survey information. Data displays follow this introduction. You may also view the TASCS FAQ at: http://oeo.tufts.edu/wp-content/uploads/TASCS-FAQs.pdf. I am looking forward to working with the Sexual Misconduct Prevention Task Force this fall to review this unprecedented information. We will use the data to further enhance the resources, educational and prevention efforts throughout the University. --Jill A. Zellmer Director, Office of Equal Opportunity and Title IX Coordinator The TASCS: A brief overview Who received the TASCS? Approximately 11,000 students from all schools and divisions were sent the survey. What was the survey about? What was it not about? The survey was one important way to measure students’ knowledge of campus policies concerning sexual conduct, exposure to prevention work, and attitudes and perceptions about sexual conduct. The survey also gathered information about experiences with sexual misconduct at Tufts, including experiences with campus resources and supports. The survey primarily assessed incidents of non-consensual sexual intercourse/penetration and non-consensual sexual contact/activity. It did not focus on incidents of sexual harassment, stalking, or intimate partner violence. We may address those topics more thoroughly in future climate checks or surveys. Response Rates What was Tufts’ response rate? Overall, the response rate was 28.7%. However, individual schools responded at different rates (17%-39%). Approximately 30% of undergraduates participated in the survey. How does the 28.7% response rate compare with similar surveys? Our overall response rate – as well as our undergraduate response rate – was similar to other schools’ response rates. Did you correct for non-response bias? To correct for non-response bias, we developed a weighting scheme in order to make the survey sample look more comparable to the full population in terms of age, gender, race/ethnicity, and campus/class year. Data presented is weighted. Summary of Results What were the results? We have done our best to summarize data in a useful format. Data for all students (except where otherwise noted) for all survey items is presented below. What is the rate of sexual misconduct on campus? Approximately 14% of students reported having had at least one incident of sexual misconduct (non-consensual penetration or non-consensual contact) since enrolling at Tufts. About 13.5% of students reported having experienced non-consensual sexual contact and 4.7% reported non-consensual sexual intercourse. The table below presents the rates of misconduct for various subgroups of the student population.

The incident characteristics at Tufts followed a pattern seen in most research on college sexual misconduct. For example:  The majority of misconduct incidents appear to have been perpetrated by an individual known to the victim. Most incidents appear to have taken place in a residential location, and in most cases, the victim and/or the perpetrator was using alcohol.  Although most victims tell someone about the incident, they harbor a variety of concerns about telling others, such as thinking the incident wasn’t serious enough to share or not wanting any disciplinary or legal action to be taken.  Most victims do not officially report their incidents with the Office of Equal Opportunity. Those who do generally feel respected, listened to, and supported during the formal process, and felt the staff members are well-trained. What is the campus climate like? Although the data above provides distressing information, we did find that:  Over 90% of respondents reported that they are happy, feel safe, feel valued in the classroom at Tufts, and trusted that their friends would watch out for them.  Over 80% of respondents felt close to people at Tufts and felt that administrators, staff, and faculty treated students fairly and respected what students thought.  The majority of students had received information about university policies regarding incidents of sexual misconduct and complaint and disciplinary procedures. Most students knew how to seek confidential counseling about sexual misconduct. However, we do need to continue our efforts to make every student aware of policies, procedures, and resources. Next Steps We now have a wealth of information about the sexual conduct climate at Tufts. Much of these data establish a baseline from which we can measure future change. For example, we hope that the next iteration of the survey will show that more students are familiar with reporting options, and that fewer students will have experienced misconduct. Additionally, Tufts is actively working to use this information to supplement ongoing Task Force work to make improvements in prevention, education, training, and resources.
