Specifically, the complaint alJeged: 7 1.

Title IX also prohibits retaliation for certain protected activities. As a recipient of Federal financial assistance from the Department and a public entity, the College is subject to Title IX. Additional information about the laws OCR enforces is available on our website at http://www.ed.gov/ocr. OCR has determined that it has jurisdiction and that the allegations are timely, and is therefore opening the allegations for investigation. Please note that opening the allegation for investigation in no way implies that OCR has made a determination with regard to its merits. During the investigation, OCR is a neutral fact-finder, collecting and analyzing relevant evidence from the complainant, the recipient, and other sources, as appropriate. OCR will ensure that its investigation is legally sufficient and is dispositive of the allegation, in accordance with the provisions of Article III of the Case Processing Manual. OCR offers, when appropriate~ an Early Complaint Resolution (ECR) process to facilitate the voluntary resolution of complaints by providing an early opportunity for the parties involved to resolve the allegation(s). Some information about the ECR process is in the enclosure to this letter entitled "OCR Complaint Processing Procedures." In addition, when appropriate, a complaint may be resolved before the conclusion of an investigation after the recipient asks OCR to resolve the complaint. In such cases, a resolution agreement signed by the recipient and submitted to OCR must be aligned with the complaint allegations or the information obtained during the investigation and it must be consistent with applicable regulations. Information about this is in the enclosure to this letter. Please read the enclosed document entitled "OCR Complaint Processing Procedures," which includes information about: • OCR's complaint processing procedures, including the availability ofECR; • Regulatory prohibitions against retaliation and intimidation of persons who file complaints with OCR or participate in an OCR investigation; and • Application of the Freedom of Information Act and the Privacy Act to OCR investigations. OCR intends to conduct a prompt investigation of this complaint. The regulation implementing Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VI) at 34 C.F.R. § 100.6(b) and (c) requires that a recipient of Federal financial assistance make information that may be pertinent to reach a compliance determination available to OCR. This requirement is incorporated by reference by the regulation implementing Title IX at 34 C.F.R. § 106.71. Pursuant to 34 C.F.R. § 100.6(c) and 34 C.F.R. § 99.31(a)(3)(iii), of the regulation implementing the Family Educational lights and Privacy Act (FERPA), 20 U.S.C. § 1232g, OCR may review personally identifiable records without regard to considerations of privacy or confidentiality.

I. Gene ral Overview During the spring 2013 semester, Grinnell's Task Force on Safety, Responsibility, and Prevent ion (t he Task Force) wor ked collaboratively with students, facu lty and staff to create a survey of sexual conduct on campus. The purpose of this init ial survey was to establish base rates for various forms of sexual misconduct and to identify areas where the campus community could intervene to prevent future incidents of such misconduct. The survey addressed unwanted sexual touching, int imate partner abuse, unwanted sexual communicat ion, and attempted or completed assault, including antecedents to and occurring behaviors and factors for all forms of misconduct. In addit ion to gathering informat ion about prevalence, the survey also asked respondents about their perception about sexual misconduct as a problem on the Grinne ll campus, definitions of consent and engagement in active bystander behaviors . Between fall 2013 and spring 2015, the College ut ilized the data gleaned from the 2013 survey to inform strategic efforts on campus, including expanded education and prevention programming on campus. In spring 2015, the College comp leted a second survey . The 2015 survey was designed to allow the College the opportunity to determine how var ious forms of sexual misconduct, perceptions about sexual misconduct as a prob lem on campus, student definitions of consent, and engagement in active bystand er behaviors had changed over time. The 2015 survey also addressed stalking, student exper iences with report ing sexual misconduct, percepti on of and experiences with the College's conduct process (Title IX grievance procedures), observation of active bystander behaviors and rape myth att itudes. GRINNELL COLLEGE Title IX Grinnell , Iowa 50112 (64 l) 269-4999 II. Data Gathered in 2013 Survey The 2013 survey instrument is attached. See Bates No. GC006020-6059. The Summary of the Sexual Conduct: Culture and Respect Survey, 2012-2013 Academic Year (2013 Report) was submitted to the Task Force on December 11, 2013. See Bates No. GC006060-6092. A total of 776 students provided usable responses to the survey, which represents a response rate of 48.2% of the tota l students enrolled at Grinnell during the 2012-2013 year. 1 Of those 776 students, 42.4% reported being the victim of at least one form of sexual misconduct during the 2012-2013 academic year. Forms of sexual misconduct repo rted by respondents included intimate partner abuse (12.5%), unwanted sexual communication (27.5%), unwanted sexual touching (22.8%), and attempted or completed sexual assault (4.7%). Unwanted sexual communication most frequen tly occurred between individuals who knew each other as friends or acquaintances, and alcohol was invo lved in 80.3% of the reported instances of unwanted sexual communication. In contrast, the highest rates of unwanted sexual touching involving a female respondent occurred with an individual whom they considered to be a stranger. The highest rates of unwanted sexual touching involving a male respondent occurred with an individual whom they considered to be a friend. Alcohol was involved in 85.4% of the reported instances of unwanted sexual touching. Finally, with respect to attempted or completed sexual assault, 70% ocurred between individuals who were in a romantic relationship or were friends, and 30% occurred between individuals who were acquaintances or strangers. 80% of the cases of repor ted sexual assault involved alcohol. The 2013 Report made the following recommendations: 1) Continued assessment of campus sexual climate and development of assessment plans for all campus programming and intervent ions related to sexual misconduct; 2) Changes to the alcohol agreement contract and party environment that create safer environments for participants; 3) Require all students to sign a document stating they have seen the new consent policy; 4) Explore barriers to reporting incidents of sexual misconduct on campus; and 1 This number was initially reported as 859 participants, with a 51.3% response rate. As part of the quality control measures implemented to allow an accurate comparison between the 2013 and 2015 surveys, the number of usable responses was decreased to 776, dropping the response rate to 48.2%. Quality control measures also resulted in adjusted percentages in some categories. -2- GRINNELL COLL E GE Title IX Grinn ell, Iowa 501 12 (64 l) 269-4999 5) Increase bystander interventions on campus. Between the spring of 2013 and the spring of 2015, the College took steps to satsify these recommendations. Those steps included : 1) Continued assessment of campus sexual climate and development of assessment plans for all campus programming and intervent ions relat ed to sexual misconduct. • Real t ime assessment of tra ining sessions through part icipant use of clickers; • Participat ion in the American College Health Association-National College Health Assessment II (ACHA-NCHA-11) Health Study (March 2015); • • Completion of the 2015 Climate Survey; Revised the existing We llness Director posit ion to focus on student health and made the Director of Student Wellness and Prevention a full -time position ; and, • Worked with the Office of Analyt ic Support and Institut ional Research on facu lty survey and new student orientation survey. 2) Changes to the alcohol agreement contract and party environment that create safer environments for participants . • Updated event host training to include environment set up and awareness of potential sexual misconduct and unwanted touching; • Added off-campus host t raining to include awareness of sexual misconduct, unwanted touching and legal liabil ity; • Added bystander tra ining to student security group ACESSwo rking at parties with a goal of interrupting potent ially unwanted sexual interact ions, especially where students are intoxicated; • Trained admissions hosts about appropriate conduct and boundar ies when hosting underage visitors to campus; • Revised ACESSparty reports to include details regarding whether the party hosts met their contract obligations and inst ituted practice of sending reports to Student Affairs and other "need to know" staff in order to be informed of issues and conduct approprite follow up; • Changed Harris and Gardner party environments by including more light ing and tables, removing platfo r ms, adding an overfl ow room, extending hours, and implementing a Harm Reduction plan that requires a specific food to alcohol rat io; and, • Instituted a 'Harris Pause' to give party goers a chance to reconnect wit h other students. -3- GRINNELL COLLEGE Title IX Grinnell, Iowa 50112 (64 l) 269-4999 3) Require all students to sign a document stating they have seen the new consent policy. • Grinnell Advocates conducted an informational campaign; • Sex positive group student presentat ion; • Provided training about consent in New Student Orientation; • Included provisions in 2015 survey to address student understanding of the consent policy; and • Required all students to take the sexual misconduct module of Mystudentbody.org (which includes consent section) in order to register for classes. 4) Explore barriers to reporting incidents of sexual misconduct on campus. • Revised informa tion in trainings and policy given concerns expressed by student groups that coming forward with a complaint meant the conduct process was automatic or police were required; • Student Advisory Group was formed and has continued with leadership from the Student Government Association; • Took steps to raise awareness, and saw a significant increase in repor ting rates (second highest per capita in the nation); • Continued and enhanced tra ining for faculty and student leaders; and, • Revised the 2015 survey to further explor e barriers to reporting. 5) Increase active bystander interventions on campus. • Used elements of MVP and NCAA Step-Up in train ing modules ; • Conducted 42 trainings of students, faculty, and staff in 2014; • Added bystander training to New Student Orientation in 2014; • • Added bystander training to admissions hosts; Added bystander student security group ACESS;and, • Created special bystander tra ining focus for six of the S.A.s to incorporate into residentia l learning programm ing. During that same time frame, as previous ly prov ided in the College's Response to Data Request #4, the College engaged in substantial educational efforts on campus. Those efforts were informed by data learned from the 2013 survey. -4- GRINNELL COLL E GE Title IX Grinn ell, Iowa 501 12 (64 l) 269-4999 Ill. Data Gathered in 2015 Survey The 2015 survey instrument is attached. See Bates No. GC006093-6148. A draft of the Summary of the Sexual Conduct: Culture and Respect Survey for the 2012-2013 and 2014-2015 Academic Year (2015 Report) is included in this production. See Bates No. GC006149-6410. This report is not yet fina l. A total of 924 students provided usable responses to the survey, which represents a response rate of 56.8% of the total students enrolled at Grinnell dur ing the 2014-2015 year. This represents a marked increase in student participation. Of those 924 respondents, 33.1% reported experiencing some form of sexual misconduct during the 2014-2015 academic year, a significant decrease from 2013's rate of 42.4%. The 2015 Survey also included stalking as a form of misconduct ; when stalking is included, the rate rises to 35.6%, which is still significantly lower than the rate observed in 2013. Forms of sexual misconduct reported by respondents included stalking (6.4%), int imate partne r abuse (12.8%), unwanted sexual commun ication (17.5%), unwanted sexual touching (15.5%), and attempted or completed sexual assault (4%). The 2015 survey also focused on identifying demographic characteristics of victims and perpetrators. In general, participant groups that seemed most at risk for any type of sexual misconduct included cisgender female, transgender or other gender, and domest ic students of color. Other key findings from the 2015 survey included: • Increase in Reporting Sexual Misconduct. The proportion of respondents who reported sexual misconduct to an official resource increased by 4% from 2013 to 2015 (from 9.5% to 13.6%). Moreover, the rate of reporting an attempted or comp leted sexual assault to college officials at Grinnell College in 2015 (35.4%) was higher than several rates observed in national benchmarking studies. (See 2015 Report at ix). • Increase in Identifying Reporting Resources. The survey results for 2015 showed significant increases in the percentages of respondents who ident ified the Title IX Coordinator , Campus Advocates, local police and clergy as reporting resources compared to the 2013 survey results . In particular , the numbers of respondents identifying the Tit le IX Coordinator as a repo rt ing opt ion nearly doubled . This finding is likely due to the robust training and education programming by the Title IX Coordinator between 2013 and 2015, and a marker of her successful efforts to saturate the community with information about Title IX, the College's policies, and available resources. (See 2015 Report at vii i-ix). -5- GRINNELL COLLEGE Title IX Grinnell, Iowa 50112 (64 l) 269-4999 • Increase in Perception of Fairness of Conduct Process. The College saw a slight increase in respondents who reported that they perceived the conduct process to be fair or somewhat fair. (See 2015 Report at ix-x). • Increase in Alignment with Affirmative Definition of Consent. Following the College's change to a new affirmative consent policy in 2013, there was a marked increase in 2015 in respondent definitions that aligned with the new consent definition. Respondents provided proportionally more definitions related to active consent processes, including the need for verbal, clear and enthusiastic, and/or continuous consent. In addition, more respondents in 2015 recognized that the ability to give consent depended on intoxica tion levels, indicating that students are becoming more aware of the role that alcohol and other drugs play in the consent process. (See 2015 Report at xi). The data from the 2015 survey is still in the process of being analyzed, and recommendations and a conclusion are being analyzed. A copy of the final report will be provided to OCRupon completion, which is expected in Novembe r 2015. IV. Next Steps Grinnell will continue to conduct biannual climate surveys to assure that campus policies, programming, remedial measures and other campus initiatives are responsive to community needs and have an evidence-based foundation. -6- Sexual Conduct: Culture & Respect Survey (2013) GRINNf.l.L COLLEGE Sexual Conduct: Culture & Respect Survey Introduction and Description of Procedures As a campus community, we know sexual misconduct does occur on this campus. What we don't know is how often it happens, what the factors are that increase or decrease its likelihood, and what the best strategies are for reducing misconduct and increasing sexual respect. We don't know what gets in the way of people acting to stop situations that might lead to sexual misconduct or intimate partner (dating) abuse. We don't know what our community defines as consent. We don't know what the community thinks about the processes for resolution of issues that are available to them. Will you help us to answer these questions, so that as a community we can identify strategies to make this a more welcoming campus? The Task Force on Safety, Responsibility, and Prevention is actively coordinating with students, faculty, and staff to identify ways to reduce sexual misconduct and violence and increase sexual respect on our campus. In order to determine where to focus community efforts and whether or not our community is making positive changes, we need to understand how often sexual misconduct and intimate partner (dating) abuse occurs and some of its possible antecedents. That is why we are asking you to take this survey. The survey is anonymous. We do not ask for your identity or the identities of others. The survey will take approximately 10 to 20 minutes to complete. Participation in and completion of the survey is completely voluntary. You may discontinue at any time. The survey asks a variety of questions related to your own experiences with intimate partner (dating) abuse and sexual misconduct, your experiences in preventing sexual misconduct, your definition of consent, your perceptions about resolution processes available to students, and your perceptions about how best to reduce sexual misconduct or dating abuse on this campus. You need not have been the victim of sexual misconduct or dating abuse for you to contribute to our community's understanding and prevention of future incidents of sexual misconduct and violence. All students' responses will provide valuable information, and as such, we request that you respond as honestly as possible. While taking the survey, you may skip questions that you do not feel comfortable answering. Because of the nature of some questions, those who have been affected by sexual misconduct or dating abuse, either directly or indirectly, might experience painful memories or distress while responding. In the event you experience distress during your participation, you are not required to continue and you may skip any questions you do not feel comfortable answering. In addition, Student Health and Counseling Services (SHACS) provides free counseling and support to those who experience distress. SHACS can be reached by calling 269-3230. A list of additional resources available to you appears below. These resources also will be provided again at the completion of the survey. Contact information for mental health providers in the community is available by following this link: http://www.grinnell.edu/offices/studentaffairs/health/health-mhresources. After hours support is also available by calling 1-800-656-HOPE(4673). A breach of anonymity is possible if you choose to take the survey in a public place (e.g., public computer lab). To ensure anonymity, we request that you take the survey in a private location that limits the ability of other individuals seeing your responses. Participant Rights Your participation in this study is completely voluntary, and you may refuse to participate or stop responding to survey questions at any time. GC006020 Benefits The major benefit resulting from this survey will be a better understanding of how often sexual misconduct occurs on our campus and the possible identification of how best to make positive community changes that will reduce the likelihood of future sexual misconduct and violence. There may be no direct benefit to you by completing the survey. Questions You are encouraged to ask questions at any time before or during of the survey.

In this first section, we will be asking about abusive behaviors that occur during dating. For the purposes of this study, dating is defined as ongoing intimacy (emotional, sexual, or both) with a partner. It can range from a short-term but ongoing "hook-up" to a longer-term commitment. The relationship or commitment need not be public knowledge for the purposes of this study. Dating does not include single or infrequent sexual encounters that entail no further commitment between the sexual partners. Considering only this academic year (from August 2012 to present), have you been in a dating relationship? 0 Yes 0 No Destination: Page 3 (Set in 2 (Yes)) Destination: Page 6 (Set in 2 (No)) (End of Page 2) GC006022 3. For the purposes of this study, dating abuse includes a wide range of verbal, emotional, controlling and isolating behaviors, as well as physical or sexual violence. Dating abuse takes many forms, both obvious and subtle. It ranges from punching, slapping, pushing, and grabbing to sexual abuse; from threats of violence, verbal attacks, constant insults, put downs and other forms of intimidation to constant jealousy, possessiveness, and controlling behavior. It can also include abuse via technology and money. Considering only the dating partners you have had during this current academic year, please indicate if any of your partners engaged in any of the following.

Thought through the pros and cons of different ways I might help if I see an instance of sexual misconduct or dating abuse. Spoke up if I hear someone say "He/she/zhe deserved to be raped." Asked for verbal consent when I was intimate with my partner, even if we are in a long-term relationship. I talked with my friends about sexual and dating/intimate partner violence as an issue for our community. I expressed concern to a friend if I see their partner exhibiting very jealous behavior and trying to control my friend. I told a friend if I thought their drink may have been spiked with a drug. Talked with friends about what makes a relationship abusive and what warning signs might be. I observed someone talking to a friend. The person was sitting very close to my friend and by the look on my friend's face, I could see my friend was uncomfortable. I ask my friend if she/zhe/he was ok or tried to start a conversation with her/hir/him. I stopped and checked in with my friend who looked very intoxicated when they were being taken to a secluded location at a party. Approached a friend if I thought they were in an abusive relationship and let them know that I was there to help. Expressed disagreement with a friend who said having sex with someone who is passed out or very intoxicated was okay. Went with my friend to talk with someone (e.g., police, counselor, crisis center, resident advisor)about an unwanted sexual experience or physical violence in their relationship. Made sure I left the party with the same people I came with. I talked with my friends about going to parties together and staying together and leaving together. I talked with my friends about watching each other's drinks. Watched my friends' drinks at parties. Made sure friends left the party with the same people they came with. If a friend had too much to drink, I asked them if they needed to be walked home from the party. Said something if I thought a friend was drinking too much, too quickly. Asked a friend who seemed upset if they are okay or needed help. For quality control, select "no." Walked a friend home from a party who had too much to drink. If I heard a friend insulting their partner I said something to that friend. Talked to my friends or acquaintances to make sure we didn't leave an intoxicated friend behind at a party.

The purpose of the survey was to establish base rates for various forms of sexual misconduct and to identify areas the campus community could intervene to prevent future incidents of such misconduct. Domain areas sampled included rates of dating abuse, unwanted sexual communication, unwanted sexual touching, and attempted or completed assault, including antecedents and co-occurring behaviors for all forms of misconduct. Further, the survey asked respondents about other topics, such as their perception of forms of sexual misconduct as a problem on the Grinnell College campus, definitions of consent, and engagement in active bystander behaviors. As the survey is repeated in subsequent years, this data can be used to track the effectiveness of campus prevention initiatives. Analysis of the data commenced during the summer of2013 by Tyler Smiley as part of the completion of a Mentored Advanced Project (MAP), under the direction of Christopher Ralston, Assistant Professor of Psychology and member of the Task Force. A preliminary report of the findings was presented to the Task Force on September 3, 2013, and recommendations resulting from the preliminary findings were presented to the Task Force on October 3. 2013. Data analysis was completed in October of 2013, resulting in this final report. Several findings from the survey are noteworthy. First, sexual misconduct does occur at Grinnell College. In total, 37 .3% of respondents to the survey reported being the victim of at least one form of sexual misconduct during the 2012-2013 academic year. The rates of all types of misconduct are reported in Table 1. Though the nature of these rates are contextualized more fully below, briefly, the rate of unwanted sexual touching is greater than several benchmarks observed in other studies, and the rate of attempted or completed sexual assault is on par with some benchmarks but not others (i.e., the observed rate is higher). There are no benchmarks for unwanted sexual communication. Table 1 Rates of experiencefor each type of misconduct. Rate of Experience Unwanted Sexual Communication Unwanted Sexual Touching Attempted or Completed Sexual Assault Experienced any form of Sexual Misconduct 25.7% 22.3% 4.6% 37.3% As a consequence of the findings detailed in this report, the authors make several recommendations. In brief, they include the following. ( 1) The college should continue to assess GC006062 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT 4 the sexual climate on campus and develop assessment plans for all campus programming and interventions related to sexual misconduct. (2) The college should consider changes to the student alcohol agreement contract to include provisions for hosting parties that create a safer environment for all participants. (3) The college should require all students to sign a document stating they have read and understood the new sexual consent policy. (4) The college should investigate barriers to reporting incidents of sexual misconduct on campus and act to remove such barriers. (5). The college should increase active bystander interventions on campus. GC006063 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT 5 BACKGROUND AND METHODS During the spring 2012 semester, Grinnell College President, Raynard Kington affirmed the college's commitment to reduce the incidence of sexual misconduct and substance abuse within the Grinnell College community. To start that process, he commissioned an external agency to review the college's existing policies, procedures, and practices related to sexual misconduct and Title IX compliance. On recommendation of those reviewers, President Kington appointed Angela Voos as the college's interim Title IX coordinator to be in charge of centralizing the review, investigation and resolution of all allegations of sexual misconduct and compliance with state and federal laws. In addition, in November, 2012 President Kington created and appointed members to the new Task Force on Safety, Responsibility, and Prevention (chaired by Ms. Voos) to create and implement campus programing to prevent sexual misconduct, alcohol abuse, and violence. Consistent with the Task Force's charge, the authors of this report have spent much time reviewing the empirical literature on best practices for reducing sexual misconduct and dating abuse. We recognized that in order to efficiently target interventions and to track the effectiveness of future interventions the college would need to develop a comprehensive assessment plan that could be repeated yearly or biyearly. Survey Methodology During the spring 2013 semester, the college surveyed all students on campus regarding their experiences with dating abuse, unwanted sexual communication, unwanted sexual touching, and attempted or completed sexual assault. In that survey, students responded to antecedents of sexual misconduct (e.g., alcohol use), the location of the misconduct (e.g., dorm room), and relationship between the survey participant 1 and the alleged perpetrator 2 of that misconduct (e.g., romantic partner). Students also responded to questions about the perception of sexual misconduct as a problem at Grinnell College, definitions of consent, and their engagement in active bystander behaviors. The survey was administered online using Vovici software between April I and May 3, 2013. Questions about sexual misconduct were limited to experiences within the then current (20122013) academic year. No other historical experiences with misconduct were surveyed. The survey was structured such that participants were routed only to questions that were relevant to 1 The term "participant" is used throughout the document to signify the person who completed the Sexual Conduct survey. 2 The term "perpetrator" is used throughout the document to signify the person who was reported to have initiated the sexual misconduct. The term does not signify the guilt of that individual or those individuals in a criminal act or that the individual or individuals have gone through a fom1al conduct or criminal process. GC006064 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT 6 them. For example, only those individuals responding that they were in a dating relationship at one point during the then current academic year saw and responded to the dating abuse items. In addition, "trigger warnings" and the ability to opt out of providing further information about misconduct experiences were given to minimize the possibility of adverse student emotional responses during the recall of such experiences. As a consequence, not all students provided information or responses to all items on the survey. The survey also included several quality control items. These items were included to gauge the authenticity of responding by participants. Participants were removed from the sample if they responded incorrectly to two or more of these items. Participants were also removed from the sample, if they completed the survey in less than two minutes or their IP address indicated they took the survey outside of Iowa on a weeknight and outside a country where students were studying abroad during the spring 2013 semester. Sample Characteristics A total of 859 students provided useable responses, and that number represents approximately 51.3% of the total students enrolled at Grinnell College during the 2012-2013 academic year. Of those, 55.3% reported their gender as female, 28.4% as male, 1.5% as transgender, and 14.8% did not report a gender identity. Students identifying as heterosexual composed 77.2% of the sample, with the remaining students identifying as gay (3.2%), lesbian (2.1 %), bisexual ( 10.3%), or pansexual/omnisexual (3.5%). A total of 3.6% did not report a sexual orientation. By academic year, 26.6% were first-year students, while 29.2% were in their second year, 24.1% in their third year, and 20.4% in their fourth year. By ethnicity, 6% of participants identified as Asian American, 2.9% as Black or African American, 6% as Hispanic/Latino, 5.8% as International, 0.1 % as Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, 75.2% as White or Caucasian, and 4.1 % as Other. Analytic Strategy Basic rates of sexual misconduct were calculated based upon the number of students who responded to survey items asking about such experiences. Those opting not to respond to those questions were removed from the denominator for the calculation of those rates. The rates of overall sexual misconduct and specific types of misconduct were examined by cross-tabulating those rates with several other variables. These included respondent variables, such as gender identify, sexual orientation, ethnic identity, and class year. Alleged perpetrator variables included biological sex and relationship to the survey respondent. Misconduct incident variables included location of the misconduct, use of alcohol and other drugs by either the respondent or the perpetrator, and the use of force in the commission of the misconduct. When levels of a specific variable were comprised of a small number of respondents, that level was collapsed with conceptually similar variable levels, and when no conceptually similar level existed, that level was removed from the analysis. GC006065 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT 7 Single bivariate relations and interactions amongst several variables were tested using chi-square test of independence and either biserial or Sperman's rho correlation coefficients. Comparison of rates observed in the present sample with rates observed in other, nationally representative samples were tested using independent samples z-tests for proportions. GC006066 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT 8 UNWANTED SEXUAL COMMUNICATION Definition For the purposes of this survey, unwanted sexual communication was defined as "unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other comments of a sexual nature. The unwanted communication may occur in person, through phone conversation, text message, instant message, email, written message, or other media to which a person is subjected without invitation or consent." Base Rates and Individual Characteristics A total of 25.7% of participants reported they experienced at least one instance of unwanted sexual communication during the 2012-2013. Unfortunately, we could locate no representative research indicating the prevalence of such experiences amongst college students to help contextualize this finding. There were significant differences in the rates of those who experienced unwanted sexual communication when separated by gender identity and sexual orientation. Participants identifying as female reported experiencing unwanted sexual communication at a rate significantly greater than males (33.5% vs. 14.8%). There was no significant difference between individuals identifying as gay or lesbian in comparison to those identifying as heterosexual. However, there was a significant gender identity by sexual orientation interaction, indicating that males identifying as gay or bisexual were significantly more likely to experience unwanted sexual communication than those identifying as heterosexual (24.3% vs. 11.2%). Females identifying as gay or bisexual reported experiencing unwanted sexual communication at the same rate as those identifying as heterosexual (32.4% vs. 32.8%). There were no significant differences in rates by ethnicity, academic year, or housing situation. Antecedentsand Co-occurringFactors to UnwantedSexual Communication The following analyses were conducted to better understand the situational factors relating to unwanted sexual communication. These analyses are in no way meant to imply blame for what happened. Instead, the results are meant to help the community understand how this type of misconduct occurs on our campus and to identify possible places the community might intervene to reduce future instances of unwanted sexual communication. The rates for those who experienced unwanted sexual communication in the 2012-2013 academic year differs by the type of relationship that the participant and the perpetrator shared (See Table 2). This type of misconduct most frequently occurred between individuals who knew GC006067 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT 9 each other as friends or acquaintances. The most common status between the individuals differed by gender, with females reporting unwanted communication experiences with acquaintances at the highest frequency, while males reported these experiences most often with friends. Unwanted sexual communication was less likely to occur between those in a relationship and those who were complete strangers, although cases were reported for those types of relationships as well.

Similar to other forms of misconduct, there was a significant positive correlation between the closeness of the relationship and the privacy of the location (rs= .63, p < .05). If the two individuals knew each other well ( e.g., romantic partner), the misconduct was more likely to occur in a private location. In contrast, if the individuals did not know each other very well or at all (e.g., stranger), the misconduct was more likely to occur in a public location, such as a campus party. Alcohol was involved in 80.3% of the cases of unwanted sexual communication that were reported on the survey (See Table 3). In total, 65.6% of participants indicated that one or both members involved were perceived to be moderately to severely intoxicated during the unwanted sexual communication, with alleged perpetrators being moderately to severely intoxicated at twice the rate of the survey respondent. Alcohol was more prevalent for misconduct that occurred in a public location (95.0%) than for instances that occurred in a private dorm room (69.4%).

This includes these body parts being touched with any object, or being made to touch yourself or another with or on any of these body parts. Unwanted touching may be brief, appear accidental, or begin with consented, acceptable touching and subsequently progress outside the boundaries of consent." Base Rates and Individual Characteristics In total, 22.3% of students responding to the survey reported they had experienced unwanted sexual touching during the 2012-2013 academic year. This rate is significantly higher than the 12-month ( spring 2011 to spring 2012) rate reported for the 2012 National College Health Assessment (NCHA) reference sample of just over 90,000 college students (6.0%) (American College Health Association, 2012) and the rate reported by Grinnell College students on that same survey (12.1%). The rate of unwanted sexual contact also was significantly higher than that reported in a 2000 U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs (DOJ-OJP) report of a survey of college women (Fisher et al., 2000). In that survey of student experiences over the previous 12 months, 18.0% of respondents reported a completed sexual contact without force. Finally, the 2012-2013 academic year prevalence rate observed at the college was significantly higher than the rate observed in the 2010 Centers for Disease Control's National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NIPSVS) (2.0%), but it was significantly lower than that same study's observed lifetime prevalence rate (27.l %) (Black et al., 2011). It should be noted that there are several reasons why the observed rate of unwanted sexual touching at Grinnell College are higher than those observed more broadly that do not relate to the actual rate of that type of sexual misconduct. For example, though the response rate was acceptable, those with histories of sexual misconduct victimization might have disproportionately responded to the survey, given the publicity around the survey. Second, the question used on this survey possibly is broader than the types of questions asked on the other comparison surveys. For example, our definition allowed for the possibility that the misconduct be brief or appear accidental, a characteristic not always shared by definitions used by the comparison surveys. Also, though the survey stated that people were to respond only for experiences over the then current academic year, it is possible that some students responded about their experiences in previous years. Thus, and assuming the same tendencies will be relatively consistent, the best way to contextualize the rates of unwanted sexual touching at Grinnell College will be in relation to rates observed at the college in subsequent years. GC006070 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT 12 There were significant differences in rates of unwanted sexual touching when separated by gender identity and sexual orientation (see Figure 1). Participants identifying as female reported experiencing unwanted sexual touching at a rate significantly greater than males (30.4% vs. 11.0%). There was no difference between individuals identifying as gay or lesbian in comparison to those identifying as straight (21.4% vs. 22.2%). However, there was a significant gender identity by sexual orientation interaction, indicating that males identifying as gay or bisexual were significantly more likely to experience unwanted sexual communication than males identifying as heterosexual (18.9% vs. 7.7%). Females identifying as lesbian or bisexual reported experiencing unwanted sexual touching at a rate lower than females identifying as heterosexual (23.5% vs. 30.5%). There were no significant differences in rates by ethnicity, academic year, or housing situation. 35% 30.5% 30% 23.5% 25% 18.9% 20% 15% 10% 7.7% 5% 0% Male D Heterosexual Female • Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual Figure 1. Rates of participants experiencing unwanted sexual touching by gender and sexual identities. Antecedents and Co-occurring Factors to Unwanted Sexual Touching The following analyses were conducted to better understand the situational factors relating to unwanted sexual touching. These analyses are in no way meant to imply blame for what happened. Instead, the results are meant to help the community understand how this type of misconduct occurs on our campus and to identify possible places the community might intervene to reduce future instances of unwanted sexual touching. GC006071 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT 13 The rates for those who experienced unwanted sexual touching in the 2013-2013 academic year differed by the type of relationship perpetrators shared with the survey participant. For participants identifying as female, the highest rates of unwanted touching occurred with an individual whom they considered to be a stranger (44.8%). Slightly lower rates were observed for unwanted sexual touching with a friend or acquaintance. Rates were lower still for those in a dating relationship (See Table 4). For participants identifying as male, the highest rate occurred with someone whom they considered a friend (42.9%) and less frequently with an acquaintance. The rates were significantly lower for men's experiences with those in a dating relationship and with complete strangers. Table 4 Gender identity of those experiencing unwanted sexual touching by relationship status to the perpetrator. Percentages do not add to JOObecause participants could have responded to multiple incidents with different perpetrators. Romantic Partner Friends Acquaintances Did not know the other person Female 13.8% 29.9% 31.0% 44.8% Male 14.3% 42.9% 28.6% 14.3% Unwanted sexual touching most often occurred in a public location on campus. The rate of unwanted sexual touching in a public location was almost three times the rate of such behavior occurring in a dorm (74.3% vs. 25.7%). For touching that occurs in a public location, most instances involved the two individuals meeting at the event as opposed to meeting prior to and going to the party/event together. There was also a significant positive correlation (rs= .52, p < .01) between the closeness of the relationship and the privacy of the location. For example, if the two individuals knew each other well (e.g., romantic partners), the misconduct was more likely to occur in a private location such as a dorm room. In contrast, if the individuals did not know each other very well or at all (e.g., strangers), the misconduct was more likely to occur in a public location such as a campus party. Alcohol was involved in 85.4% of the cases of unwanted sexual touching that were reported on the survey (See Table 5). A total of 70.8% of participants indicated that one or both members involved were moderately to severely intoxicated during the unwanted sexual touching; however, the perpetrator was perceived to have used and be moderately or severely intoxicated more often than the survey respondent who experienced the touching. Alcohol use was more prevalent for misconduct that occurred in a public location (95.6%) than for instances that occurred in a private dorm room (58.8%). GC006072 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT 14 Table 5 Participants' perceived level of intoxication of each party during the unwanted sexual touching.

Force or threat of force was more likely to occur between those in a dating relationship (40%) or friends (33%) than between acquaintances or strangers (21%). Force or threat of force also occurred more often in a private dorm (52.6%) than in a public location (20.8%). This pattern indicates that unwanted sexual touching occurring between two strangers in a public location most often does not involve threat or force of threat. If the individuals share a closer relationship or are in a private location, threat or force of threat is more likely to occur. GC006073 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT 15 ATTEMPTED OR COMPLETED SEXUAL ASSAULT Definition For the purposes of this survey, attempted or completed sexual assault was defined as "attempted or completed vaginal, anal, or oral intercourse without consent. Consent for one type of sexual act does not mean consent has been given for other acts. Physical force does not have to occur for a sexual act to be considered sexual assault. 'Intercourse' includes vaginal penetration by a penis, object, tongue or finger; anal penetration by a penis, object, tongue, or finger, and oral copulation (mouth to genital contact or genital to mouth contact).'' Base Rates and Individual Characteristics A total of 4.6% of survey respondents reported being the victim of attempted or completed sexual assault during the 2012-2013 academic year. For comparison, this rate was not significantly different from the rate observed for other Grinnell College students in the 2012 NCHA survey (3.7%), but it was significantly higher than that observed for the 2012 NCHA reference sample (2.4%) (American College Health Association, 2012). The rate observed at Grinnell College also was significantly higher than the previous 12-month rate observed in the 2000 DOJ-OJP (2.8%) (Fisher et al., 2000) and NIPSVS (1.1%) (Black et al., 2011) studies. The rate also was significantly higher than the rate observed in 2010 National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) using a representative sample of U.S. women ages 12-years and older (0.2%) (Planty et al., 2010). It should be noted that there are several reasons why the observed rates at Grinnell College are higher than those observed more broadly that do not relate to the actual rate of sexual misconduct. For example, though the response rate was acceptable, those with histories of sexual misconduct victimization might have disproportionately responded to the survey, given the publicity around the survey. Second, though the definition of sexual assault used for this survey is quite similar to the definitions used on other surveys, it also included attempted sexual assaults, which could have had the effect of identifying more individuals than in other surveys. Also, though the survey stated that people were to respond only for experiences over the then current academic year, it is possible that some students responded about their experiences in previous years. Thus, and assuming the same tendencies will be relatively consistent across time, the best way to contextualize the rates of sexual misconduct at Grinnell College will be in relation to rates observed at the college in subsequent years. Due to the lower number of reported experiences of attempted or completed sexual assault, relative to other forms of sexual misconduct, analyses of individual factors and anteceding or cooccurring variables are limited. There was a significant difference in the rate of those who GC006074 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT 16 experienced an attempted or completed assault when separated by gender; participants identifying as female reported experiencing an attempted or completed sexual assault at a rate greater than males (5.5% vs. 1.6%). However, no significant differences in rates were detected by ethnicity, sexual orientation, academic year, or housing situation. Antecedents and Co-occurring Factors to Attempted or Completed Sexual Assault The following analyses were conducted to better understand the situational factors relating to sexual assault. These analyses are in no way meant to imply blame for what happened. Instead, the results are meant to help the community understand how this type of misconduct occurs on our campus and to identify possible places the community might intervene to reduce future instances of attempted or completed sexual assault. The rates for those who experienced an attempted or completed sexual assault in the 2012-2013 academic year differ by the type of relationship that the participant and his/her/hir perpetrator shared. Of reported cases, 70% occurred between individuals who were in a romantic relationship or who were friends, and 30% of cases occurred between individuals who were acquaintances or strangers. Attempted or completed sexual assaults most often occurred in private locations, with over 85% of cases being reported as occurring in a dorm room on campus. Similar to how unwanted sexual touching occurs, there was a significant correlation between the closeness of the relationship and the privacy of the location correlation (rs= .61,p < .05). If the two individuals knew each other well, the assault was more likely to occur in a private location ( e.g., dorm room). To contrast, if the individuals did not know each other very well or at all, the misconduct was more likely to occur in a public location ( e.g., party). Alcohol was involved in 80% of the cases of sexual assault that were reported on the survey (See Table 6). Further, 80% of cases involved one or both of the members perceived to be moderately to severely intoxicated during the attempted or completed sexual assault. GC006075 17 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT Table 6 Participants' perceived level of intoxication of each party during the attempted or completed sexual assault. Any Alcohol Consumption Moderately/Severely Intoxicated Participants who consumed alcohol Participants whose violators consumed alcohol Cases were alcohol was involved 70.6% 73.3% 80.0% 64.7% 60.0% 80.0% Force or the threat of force was involved in 72.2% of reported cases of attempted or completed sexual assault. This rate is almost three times as high as the rate for force or the threat of force in unwanted sexual touching. Force or the threat of force was experienced by survey participants at approximately the same rate regardless of the relationship between the participant and the perpetrator. There was also no interaction between the level of intoxication of either individual and the use of threat or force during the encounter. GC006076 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT 18 DATING ABUSE Definition For the purposes of this survey, dating abuse was defined "a pattern of behavior that includes a wide range of verbal, emotional, controlling and isolating behaviors, as well as physical or sexual violence. Dating abuse takes many forms, both obvious and subtle. It ranges from punching, slapping, pushing, and grabbing to sexual abuse; from threats of violence, verbal attacks, constant insults, put downs and other fom1s of intimidation to constant jealousy, possessiveness, and controlling behavior. It can also include abuse via technology and money.'' Base Rates and Individual Characteristics A total of 19.6% of participants who indicated they had been in a romantic partnership during the 2012-2013 academic year reported experiencing at least one behavior that can be described as dating abuse. For comparison, Knowledge Networks Inc. surveyed 508 college women during their 2011 College Dating Violence and Abuse poll and found that approximately 24.5% of respondents had experienced dating abuse since entering college (Peugh & Glauber, 2011). That rate is significantly higher than the rate observed in the Grinnell College sample; however, the Knowledge Networks, Inc. study included any dating abuse occurring over the course of the respondents' entire college career, while the Grinnell College survey only represented experiences during the present academic year. Behaviors on the survey can be grouped into six broad categories: controlling behavior (i.e. tried to prevent me from spending time with family or friends), verbal threats or abuse (i.e. threatened to hurt me ifwe were to break up), physical abuse (i.e. hurt me when angry), abuse via technology (i.e. checked my cell phone or computer to see who I had been communicating with), sexual abuse (i.e. pressured me into having sex when I didn't want to), and forced substance use (i.e. pressured me into drinking when I didn't want to). For those who experienced dating abuse during the 2012-2013 academic year, there were no significant differences by gender identify, except for experiences of sexual abuse. Participants identifying as female were more likely than those identifying as males to experience sexual abuse as part of dating abuse (15.5% vs. 7.6%)3. There were no differences in dating abuse experiences when comparing students from different academic years. Sexual identity was associated with abuse via technology but no other form of abuse. Those in a gay or lesbian relationship experienced abuse via technology at a significantly greater rate than those in a 3 The sexual abuse category included behaviors that fall under both the unwanted sexual touching and assault definitions used previously in this report. GC006077 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT 19 heterosexual relationship (29.2% vs. 15.7%). No other individual characteristics were significant in determining differences for any form of dating abuse. Respondents who experienced at least two instances of dating abuse also reported the reasons why they chose to stay in the relationship. Those reasons and the rates those reasons were endorsed are reported in Table 7. Those reasons not endorsed by any respondent are excluded from the table. Table 7 Rates for the reasons why participants chose to stay in an abusive relationship during the 20122013 academic year. I did not believe the relationship was abusive 57.5% I was not aware at the time that I was in an abusive relationship 28.5% I had the same friends and was afraid of losing those friends 18.3% I did not tell anyone about it 16.1% No one stepped in to try to help 12.4% The person I was dating threatened to hurt and/or kill himself/herself ifl left them 10.8% Some other reason 9.1% I was dependent on this person financially 3.2% I thought the person I was dating would be kicked out of school if anyone found out The person I was dating took care of food and living expenses 3.2% 2.2% The person I was dating threatened to tell my family and/or friends about our relationship 1.6% The person had a teaching position on campus and I was afraid it would hurt my grades The person I was dating bought my phone and paid my phone bill 0.5% 0.5% GC006078 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT 20 EXPERIENCES OF MULTIPLE TYPES OF MISCONDUCT As stated previously, 25. 7% of survey respondents reported experiencing unwanted sexual communication during the 2012-2013 academic year. In addition, 22.3% reported experiencing unwanted sexual touching and 4.6% reported experiencing attempted or completed sexual assault. Table 8 presents the rates participants experienced multiple types of sexual misconduct. Dating abuse was excluded because the questions for that type of abuse were structured differently (i.e., participants were not asked if they had or had not experienced dating abuse) and possibly included non-sexual forms of abuse. Further, it is likely those experiencing sexual misconduct during a dating relationship reported that type of abuse in other areas of the survey. Consequently, dating abuse is not reported in Table 8. In total, 37.3% ofrespondents reported experiencing one or more instances of sexual misconduct. Of those experiencing unwanted sexual communication, 46.1 % also experienced some other form of sexual misconduct. Of those experiencing unwanted sexual touching, 58.4% experienced some other form of sexual misconduct. Finally, of those experiencing an attempted or completed sexual assault, 100% experienced some other form of sexual misconduct. Table 8 The rates ofparticipants who experienced multiple forms of sexual misconduct during the 20122013 academic year. Types of Misconduct Experienced Percentage of Participants 62.7% 0 23.9% 1 10.2% 2 3.2% 3 These rates were examined for the frequency of experience and for the number of perpetrators. Those rates are reported in Table 9. As seen in that table, the most common experience was a single event perpetrated by a single individual; however, the pattern varied by type of misconduct. For example, whereas 36.4% of unwanted sexual communication incidents occurred one time by one individual, over a quarter of respondents reported experiencing such communication multiple times by the same person, and just over a fifth of respondents reported experiencing unwanted sexual communication by multiple people on several different occasions. Similarly, the majority (47.6%) of those experiencing unwanted sexual touching reported a single event perpetrated by a single individual, while 23.3% reported such experiences on more than one occasion perpetrated by more than one person. However, there were fewer, proportionally, who experienced multiple incidents by a single person. Finally, the majority experience for attempted or completed sexual assault was a single event perpetrated by a single individual, and the next most common experience was for more than one experience by the same individual GC006079 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT 21 Table 9.

Figure 2 shows the rate of responses for each type of misconduct. 100% • Not a Problem 90% D Minor Problem 80% 70% el Major Problem 68.3% 57.5% 60% 52.7% 50% 50.3% 40.1% 40% 30% 20% IO% 0% Dating Abuse Communication Touching Assault Figure 2. The perceived level of problem for each type of misconduct. There was a significant gender difference for perception of each type of misconduct as a problem on the Grinnell College campus, with those identifying as female being more likely than those identifying as males to view dating abuse ( I0.2% vs. 8.4%) communication (28.5% vs. 22.9%), touching (46.3% vs. 31.5%), and assault (39.7% vs. 32.1%) as a major problem on campus. Older students, defined as those in their third or fourth years, were also more likely to perceive dating abuse (13.9% vs. 7.1 %), communication (37.9% vs. 29.8%), touching (46.9% vs. 37.2%), and assault (44.6% vs. 32.3%) to be larger problems than younger students. Finally, those who have experienced any form of misconduct perceived unwanted communication (44.8% vs. 25.7%), touching (51.6% vs. 33.4%), and assault (42.0% vs. 33.6%) as being a larger issue on campus than those who had no personal experience. Perceptions did not differ about dating abuse based on whether an individual had personally experienced some form of misconduct. GC006081 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT 23 REPORTING Those students who responded "yes" to experiencing a specific type of misconduct were asked whether or not she/he/zhe reported that experience to someone other than family or friends. The rates for those who experienced sexual misconduct by category who also reported their experience to someone beyond friends or family are reported in Table 10. Though benchmark rates of reporting are not available for all types of misconduct, rates of reporting sexual assault, particularly rape, are available through several representative surveys. Grinnell College students had significantly higher rates of reporting attempted and completed sexual assault ( 17.4% vs. 4 .8%) and unwanted sexual touching (3 .6% vs. 1.5%) than the rates observed by college women in the 2000 DOJ-OJP (Fisher et al., 2000). However, the rate of reporting attempted or completed sexual assault was significantly lower than that observed in the NCVS for 12-month reports to the police by the victim (23.0%) (Planty et al., 2010). Table 10 Rates ofparticipants who reported their experiences to someone besides friends or fami~v. Type of Misconduct Dating Abuse Unwanted Sexual Communication Unwanted Sexual Touching Attempted or Completed Sexual Assault 0 /o of those who reported abuse 7.5% 6.7% 3.6% 17.4% GC006082 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT 24 CONSENT In the fall of 2013, Grinnell College adopted a new policy related to sexual consent-affirmative consent. The important components of the policy are included below: I. II. III. IV. V. VI. VII. VIII. Each participant in a sexual encounter is expected to obtain and give consent to each act of sexual activity. Consent to one form of sexual activity does not constitute consent to engage in all forms of sexual activity. Consent consists of an outward demonstration indicating that an individual has freely chosen to engage in sexual activity. Re~ving on non-verbal communication can lead to misunderstandings. Consent may not be inferred.from silence, passivity, lack of resistance or lack of an active response alone. A person who does not physically resist or verbally refuse sexual activity is not necessarily giving consent. If at any time it is reasonably apparent that either party is hesitant, confused or unsure, both parties should stop and obtain mutual verbal consent before continuing such activity. Consent may be withdrawn by either party at any time. Withdrawal of consent must also be outwardly demonstrated by mutually understandable words and/or clear, unambiguous actions that indicate a desire to end sexual activity. Once withdrawal of consent has been expressed, sexual activity must cease. Individuals with a previous or current intimate relationship do not automatical~v give initial or continued consent to sexual activity. Even in the context of a relationship, there must be mutually understandable communication that clearly and unambiguously indicates a willingness to engage in sexual activity. Consent is not affirmative if it results from the use or threat of physical force, intimidation, or coercion, or any other factor that would eliminate an individual's ability to exercise his/her/hir or own free will to choose whether or not to have sexual contact. An individual who is physically incapacitated from alcohol and/or other drug consumption (voluntarily or involuntarily), or is unconscious, unaware or otherwise physically helpless is considered unable to give consent. For example, one who is asleep or passed out cannot give consent. In the State of Iowa, consent can never be given by minors under the age of 16. For those under the age of 16 the law has two distinctions: First, anybody 13 years of age or younger is considered to be a "child'' under Iowa Code, section 702.5 and thus, incapable of consent. Second, for the ages of 14 and 15, the consenting partner must be less than 5 years of age apart from the teen. The survey asked participants two open-ended questions related to consent: how does one know when consent has been obtained in a sexual encounter, and can one get consent after GC006083 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT 25 either party has consumed alcohol and/or other drugs? Definitions of consent varied widely by students with some indicating the need for verbal, affirmative communication while others consider indicators such as body language or previous experience sufficient. Responses also differed in how alcohol relates to obtaining consent. A total of 22.1 % of students stated that, "no," consent cannot be obtained after alcohol and/or other drugs have been consumed, while 54.0% of students gave a fim1'4yes" that consent is possible after drug or alcohol use. The remaining 23.9% of students indicated that the context of the situation was important to answering the question, so a "yes'' or "no" response could not be given. GC006084 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT 26 ACTIVE BYSTANDERISM A section on active bystanderism was included on the survey to better understand how often students engage in related behaviors. We used a previously validated scale for measuring active bystanderism (Banyard et al., 2011), making small changes in wording so that phrasing was appropriate for Grinnell College students. The purpose of this section of the survey is mainly to track change over time as the campus implements new strategies to train more students in active bystanderism. With only one year of data, analyses on active bystanderism are limited. Behaviors reported on the survey can be grouped into three broad categories: coordinating helping behaviors with friends (e.g.,. talked to my friends or acquaintances to make sure we didn't leave an intoxicated friend behind at the party), safety practices ( e.g.,. watched my friends' drinks at parties), and confrontational behavior (e.g., I expressed concern to a friend if saw their partner exhibiting very jealous behavior and trying to control my friend). Respondents identifying as female were more likely than those identifying as male to have engaged in all three categories of behaviors during the 2012-2013 academic year. Older students (i.e., third- and fourth-years) were more likely to engage in confrontational behaviors than younger students, but there were no differences for coordinating behaviors or safety practices. Finally, having experienced sexual misconduct was associated with engaging in all three forms of active bystander behaviors when compared to those with no such history. No other differences were observed. A fuller interpretation of these results will occur in future years, aided by the context of additional data collected after the implementation of broader active bystander initiatives. GC006085 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT 27 RECOMMENDATIONS In October of 2013, the researchers provided empirically based recommendations on actions that the Task Force on Safety, Responsibility, and Prevention and other campus partners should take on the basis of the results of the Sexual Conduct Survey and prior literature reviews of sexual misconduct prevention efforts elsewhere. The following actions were recommended: Common theme through interventions and action items is that interventions should be guided by research literature to the extent that's possible. • • • • • Continued assessment of campus sexual climate and development of assessment plans for all campus programming and interventions related to sexual misconduct Changes to the alcohol agreement contract and party environment that create safer environments for participants Require all students to sign a document stating they have seen the new consent policy Explore barriers to reporting incidents of sexual misconduct on campus Increase active bystander interventions on campus GC006086 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT 28 Action: Continued Assessment of Campus Sexual Climate and Development of Assessment Plans for All Campus Programming and Interventions Related to Sexual Misconduct Rationale: During spring 2013, the Task Force initiated an effort to establish base rates of sexual misconduct and to determine intervention points to reduce such misconduct in the future. This type of assessment is necessary to document change in campus climate and to determine the general effectiveness of campus initiatives this type of assessment should be undertaken on a biennial basis. In addition, in order to determine specific prevention program effectiveness, Task Force members and individual groups who implement prevention efforts should develop and implement assessment plans that include at least one pre-test and one post-test measure. More through assessment plans are also encouraged. On the basis of these types of evaluations, those programs that demonstrate effectiveness should be retained, and those that lead to no documentable change should be abandoned. Finally, the college should explore hiring a specialist in assessment related to campus climate and program evaluation. At present, the majority of assessment-related strategy and advice for the Task Force is handled by a single faculty member, usually with student support. That solution is untenable in the long run, given faculty leaves and turnover. Hiring a specialist whose focus is assessment could lead to more intentional focus and time spent on assessment and consultation to other groups on assessment planning and implementation. The specialist also could assist in the coordination of other campus-wide or more targeted assessments by other campus groups (e.g., Ham1 Reduction, Diversity and Inclusion). Responsible Parties: The Task Force on Safety, Responsibility, and Prevention GC006087 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT 29 Action: Changes to the Alcohol Agreement Contract and Party Environment that Create Safer Environment for Participants Rationale: Several patterns for how certain forms of sexual misconduct happen on campus emerged from the results of the recent sexual climate survey. As those results pertain to sexual misconduct in public location on this campus, the unwanted sexual behavior usually involves individuals who know each other as acquaintances or strangers and alcohol is frequently involved. Specifically, of all females who experienced unwanted sexual touching, over 44% of them experienced that with a stranger and 31 % with an acquaintance they did not know well. Further, alcohol was involved of 85% of unwanted sexual touching. Aside from alcohol use, the majority of unwanted sexual touching events (74.3%) occurred in a party location. The combination of alcohol and current environments seems to facilitate some individuals' comfort in approaching an acquaintance or stranger and participating in unwanted sexual touching or other forms of misconduct. Certain changes have been made to Harris Center party environments in the past year to compensate for some of this behavior, but not all incidents reported occurred within the Harris Center. Gardner Hall and parties held there was another location mentioned almost as frequently as Harris Center parties as the locus of unwanted sexual contact. In addition, several individuals simply stated that the incident occurred at a party without giving more specific information. Changes to alcohol and party culture are likely to reduce the rate of unwanted sexual contact by strangers or acquaintances. This change might be effected initially by changes to the alcohol contract that party planners sign prior to hosting event. Some change might include a requirement of party planners to set up a safer environment and be aware of these conditions could potentially reduce the rate at which unwanted sexual touching (along with other forms of misconduct) occurs in public locations. Party planners might also be required to attend training on how to set up these types of environments. Examples of such types of training might include the BEST Party Model (http://menaspeacemakers.org/best-party-model/). Contracts might also highlight legal liability assumed by the party hosts, as it pertains to both attendees' alcohol and other drug consumption and sexual misconduct committed by attendees at their event. Finally, the college should explore stricter enforcement of violations to the contract to motivate host compliance. Responsible Parties: Student Affairs, Harm Reduction Committee, party throwers GC006088 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT 30 Action: Require all students to sign document stating they have read the new consent policy Rationale: On the recent sexual climate survey, students expressed diverse opinions on what constituted consent to engage in sexual behavior with a partner. Differences in opinion occurred in whether or not verbal cues are required, how the situation changes when alcohol is involved, and at which stages consent must be obtained. Since the college has recently changed its policy on consent, all students should be made aware of these changes. At a minimum, students should be required to read the policy and signify her/his/hir awareness of the key features of the policy. This action could be beneficial for several reasons. First, the requirement demonstrates that the administration is very serious about sexual misconduct and has chosen to take a stance on this issue. Second, this requirement has the potential to begin dialogue among the students about what constitutes consent in a sexual encounter and the limits present when words are not expressed or alcohol or other drugs are involved. The requirement would reach all students directly, which is difficult to do with most interventions. Similarly to how the college handles the Academic Honesty policy, each student could receive a booklet that highlights the major aspects of the policy and how the policy intersects with selfgovernance. Students would then provide her/his/hir signature to signify that they read and understood the policy, along with the consequences if the policy is not followed. An additional document could be developed, in which, students pledge to abide by the consent policy. Student Advisers on each floor or someone else within Residence Life could obtain signatures so that questions by students will be directed to the proper resource. These same individuals would be responsible for documenting refusal to sign the statement that the student has read and understood the policy. Responsible Parties: Task Force for booklet creation and Residence Life for booklet distribution and signature collection. GC006089 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT 31 Action: Explore Barriers to Reporting Incidents of Sexual Misconduct on Campus Rationale: On the recent sexual climate survey, participants showed that the rates of reporting at the college are drastically lower than the national average for those in the same age group. Of those who experienced an attempted or completed assault, only 17.4% reported the assault to someone other than friends or family. The rates of reporting are even lower for unwanted touching (3.6%), communication (6.7%), and dating abuse (7.5%). By comparison, Planty and colleagues (2013) from the U.S. Department of Justice and using the National Crime Victimization survey found that 36% of females experiencing an attempted or completed rape between 2005 and 2010 reported their experience to police. By reporting an experience of sexual misconduct, the student is able to find resources necessary to move forward from the situation in a healthy way. We must understand the obstacles present that prevent students from reporting and develop a strategy to reduce or remove those barriers. A potentially useful way to better understand the barriers present would be to approach specific student groups on campus. Those groups related to sexual assault prevention and reaction (Campus Advocates, Real Men, Feminist Action Coalition) could give insight to the way those affected view the costs and benefits of approaching campus resources. Once the Task Force creates a Student Advisory Committee, this would also be another beneficial group of students to approach to better hypothesize why our rates are lower than the national average. Using information gathered from those groups, educational campaigns that seek to debunk myths and increase resource utilization might better be designed and implemented. Responsible Parties: The Task Force on Safety, Responsibility, and Prevention. GC006090 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT 32 Action: Increase Active Bystander Interventions on Campus Although the research is mixed on the effectiveness of active bystander training, this type of intervention has more empirical support than other preventative programming. The recent survey on campus climate asked questions relating to active bystanderism, but most of those have yet to be analyzed. Results from that portion of the survey will be reported later in the fall semester. Members of the Task Force conducted a review of the assault prevention literature from December 2012 through February 2013, and the following information summarizes the findings related to Active Bystander programs implemented on other college campuses along with what makes such programming effective: • Active bystander training often is viewed by participants as more relevant than educational programming because a participant does not have to view himself/herself/hirself as a victim or perpetrator to relate to the programming (Foubert & Newberry, 2006). • The type of training can be discussion-based or designed so that participants can act out how they would be active bystanders. Some have found no significant difference in effectiveness between active and passive programming (Ahrens et al., 2012). • Barriers to being an active bystander tend to differ by gender. Males are less likely to assume responsibility as an active bystander and females are less likely to intervene due to a perceived skills deficiency (Bum, 2009). • In one study, almost half of the students reported knowing a sexual assault victim. Those participants were more likely to report that sexual assault is a problem on campus; this demonstrates the need to connect this issue to students' own lives, so that students who do not know a victim still see sexual assault as a key issue on college campuses (Deinera & Cummings, 2011 ). • Bystander interventions are effective, but campuses cannot rely only on this type of prevention because certain levels of sexual misconduct occur behind closed doors without a bystander present to intervene (Koelsch et al., 2012). • Bystanders are more likely to help if they are asked to make a commitment to help (Banyard, Plante, & Moynihan, 2004). • Bystanders need to feel that they possess the skills to intervene, which means they need help building a repertoire of such skills (Banyard, Plante, & Moynihan, 2004). • Bystander training needs to be specific to the type of situation in which they may be called upon to act (Lanier et al., 200 I). • Bystander training should incorporate raising awareness of the problem and its negative impact on the victim (Banyard, Plante, & Moynihan, 2004) Responsible Parties: Task Force on Safety, Responsibility, and Prevention and Student Affairs.

We asked, how often do va1ious fo11nsof sexual misconduct happen on our campus, what are the characteristics of these events, what factors contribute to sexual misconduct, and how can we make our community safer and more welcoming. Since that time, students, faculty, and staff have collaboratively identified and implemented several strategies to reduce sexual misconduct and increase sexual respect on campus. It is now time to detennine if those efforts have made a difference. In addition, we are committed to continuing to identify how best to ensure student safety on campus. Your responses will help us, as students, faculty, and staff, identify additional strategies to make our community safer for all. These are the reasons why we are asking you to take this survey. The survey is anonymous. We do not ask for your identity or the identities of others. The survey may take as few as 10 minutes or as long as 30 minutes to complete. Participation in and completion of the survey is completely voluntary. You may discontinue at any time by exiting the survey. Unfortunately, however, there is no mechanism for you to save and return to your responses if you choose to leave the survey. The survey asks a va1iety of questions related to your own expe1iences with intimate partner (dating) abuse, stalking, and three different fo1ms of sexual misconduct (unwanted sexual communication, unwanted sexual touching, and sexual assault), yom· expe1iences in preventing sexual misconduct, your attitudes toward sexual misconduct, yom· definition of consent, your perceptions about resolution processes available to students, and your perceptions about how best to reduce sexual misconduct, stalking or dating abuse on this campus. Though you may not have been the victim of sexual misconduct, stalking, or dating abuse your responses are valuable for our community's understanding and prevention of future incidents of sexual misconduct and violence. All students' responses will provide valuable information, and as such, we request that you respond as honestly as possible. While taking the survey, you may skip questions that you do not feel comfortable answering. Risks Because of the nature of some questions, those who have been affected by sexual misconduct, stalking, or dating abuse, either directly or indirectly, might experience painful memories or distress while responding. In the event you experience distress during your participation, you are not required to continue and you may skip any questions you do not feel comfortable answering. In addition, Student Health and Counseling Services (SHACS) provides free counseling and support to those who experience distress. SHACS can be reached by calling 64 I-269-3230. A list of additional resources available to you appears below. These resources also will be provided again at the completion of the survey. • Campus Safety and Secmity 641-269-4600 (24 hrs) • RLC on call 641-269-4600 • Grinnell Advocates (confidential) 641-260-1615 (24 hrs) • SHA CS Nurses and Counselors (confidential) 641-269-3 230 • Campus Chaplain/Rabbi (confidential) 641-269-4981 • Title IX Coordinator 641-269-4999 • Dean of Students 641-269-3714 • Ombuds Office (confidential) 641-269-9399 • Grinnell Police 641-236-2670 (24 hrs) • Grinnell Regional Medical Center 641-236-2380 • Crisis Intervention Services (confidential) 800-270-1620 • EthicsPoint Anonymous Reporting 855-667-1753 • National Sexual Assault Helpline 800-656-HOPE (4673) Contact infonnation for mental health providers in the community is available by following this link: http://www.grinnell.edu/ about/offices-services/student-health/resources ?group=925 3. After hours suppo11is also available by calling l-800-656-HOPE(4673). A breach of anonymity is possible if you choose to take the survey in a public place (e.g., public computer lab). To ensm·e anonymity, we request that you take the survey in a plivate location that limits the ability of other individuals seeing your responses. Participant Rights GC006093 Your pa11icipation in this study is completely voluntary, and you may refuse to pa11icipate or stop responding to survey questions at any time. Benefits The major benefit resulting from this survey will be a better understanding of how often sexual misconduct occurs on our campus and the possible identification of how best to make positive community changes that will reduce the likelihood of future sexual misconduct and violence. There may be no direct benefit to you by completing the survey. If 50% or more of enrolled students complete the survey before April 12, SGA and the Task Force for Safety Responsibility and Prevention will provide a raffle for 200 Chipotle burritos. A total of I 00 winners would receive two (2) burritos, one for the winner and the other to share with a friend. A second raffle for one of20 Amazon.com gift cards worth $25 each is also available for participants who complete the survey. To enter these raffles, you must opt in by clicking the link on the final page of this website and provide a valid Grinnell College email address. The link is to another website that is not connected to this survey in any way. Your responses on this survey will not be connected in any way to the email address you provide on the raffle page. The approximate odds of receiving a Chipotle burrito or gift card are dependent upon the number of individuals completing the survey and entering the drawing. Winners will be contacted by May 6 through their Grinnell College email address. Questions You are encouraged to ask questions at any time before or during the sm-vey.

In this first section, we will be asking about abusive behaviors that occur during dating. For the purposes of this study, dating is defined as ongoing intimacy (emotional, sex.ual, or both) with a pa11ner.It can range from a sho11-te11nbut ongoing "hook-up" to a longer-term commitment. The relationship or commitment need not be public knowledge for the purposes of this study. Dating does not include single or infrequent sexual encounters that entail no further commitment between the sexual partners. Considering only this academic year (from August 2014 to present), have you been in a dating relationship'? D Yes DNo Destination: Page 4 ((Yes)) Destination: Page 8 ((No)) (End of Page 3) GC006096 [PAGE 4) For the pul'poses of this study, dating abuse includes a wide range of verbal, emotional, controlling and isolating behaviol's, as well as physical or sexual violence. Dating abuse takes many forms, both obvious and subtle. It ranges from punching, slapping, pushing, and grabbing, to sexual abuse; from threats of violence, vel'bal attacks, constant insults, put downs and other fo1ms of intimidation to constant jealousy, possessiveness, and controlling behavior. It can also include abuse via technology and money.

GC006149 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY During the spring 2013 semester, the Grinnell College Task Force on Safety, Responsibility, and Prevention (hereafter referred to as the Task Force) commissioned Christopher A. Ralston, Department of Psychology, to coordinate and conduct a survey of sexual conduct at Grinnell College. The purpose of the survey was to establish base rates for various forms of sexual misconduct and to identify areas the campus community could intervene to prevent future incidents of such misconduct. Domain areas sampled included rates of intimate partner abuse, unwanted sexual communication, unwanted sexual touching, and attempted or completed sexual ·om1s of assault, including antecedents to and co-occurring behaviors and factors for misconduct. Further, the survey asked participants about other topics, sue heir perception of forms of sexual misconduct as a problem on the Grinnell College cam nitions of consent, and engagement in active bystander behaviors. 14 With the assistance of students, faculty, and staff, the survey .,:'\!revisedin the semester and re-administered during the spring 2015 semes his second survey owed for an opportunity to determine how rates of various forms al m · nduct, perceptions about nsent, and engagement in sexual misconduct as a problem on campus, student defi vention and educational active bystander behavior have changed over time in respon efforts since the 2013 survey.

First, sexual misconduct does occur at Grinnell College. Across the two survey administrations, 37.3% of participants reported experiencing one or more form of sexual misconduct ( excluding stalking, which was only surveyed in 2015) in the academic year they took the survey. The rate of experience was 42.4% in 2013, but the rate was significantly lower (33.1%) in 2015. When stalking experiences were included, the rate of any II GC006150 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT fonn of sexual misconduct in 2015 rose to 35.6%, which remained significantly lower than the rate observed in 2013. The rates of all types of misconduct are reported in Table ES 1. Table ESI Rates o[sexual misconduct by tvpe of misconduct.

Stalking Overall, 3.9% of survey participants were certain they were stalked during the 2014-2015 academic year, and 6.4% of participants experienced behavior that may have been stalking. These rates were not significantly different from rates reported from a sample of over 66,000 undergraduate students in 2014 by the American College Health Association (ACHA). Cisgender women (9.0%) and transgender or other gender participants (9.7%) reported experiencing stalking at a higher rate than cisgender men ( 1.9%). Twelve-month national averages for stalking for women from the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey Ill GC006151 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT were 4.0% and for men were 1.3% (Black et al., 2010). The rate for women at Grinnell College was significantly higher than the rate reported in that study, while the rate for men at Grinnell College was statistically equivalent. The National College Women Sexual Victimization study found the 12-month stalking incident rate for female students to be between 13.1% and 10.5% (Fisher et al., 2000), statistically equivalent to the rate observed at Grinnell College. Similarly, the rates for cisgender female participants at Grinnell College were marginally higher than those reported in the ACHA study mentioned above (6.6%), while cisgender male participants reported rates that were not statistically different from those found by the ACHA (3.0%). When considering rates of stalking since entering college, cisgender female ( 18.4%) and male participants (6.9%) reported significantly higher rates than those reported by .:·Association of American Universities' study (6.7% and 2.2%, respectively, Cantor et al. ), while O transgender or other gender Grinnell College participants reported rate o) that were not significantly different from the rates reported by the AAU (12.1%). Stalking was most likely to be perpetrated by other students, e · friends or ac ances, and was most often to occur public places and at multiple locati . across campus. Sta · g using electronic means also was quite common ( e.g., via text ial media). Nearly 60% of stalking victims reported that their experience lasted g ne month. Intimate Partner Abuse Nearly 60% of participants in both survey y defined by the survey. Approximately 24% o or nearly 13% of all participants regardless of could be considered intimate partner abuse (IP ysis of between survey administration . demographic subgroups rev mestic st heterosexual participants ng in a ating relationship, as it was ho were in dating relationships ory reported one or more behaviors that rates were not statistically different ates of experience by a number of ts of color, cisgender women, and non- s for IPA. To contextualize these findin al comparisons were made to rates observed in national benchmarking stu · irectly comparable because of the use of the same research tool to identi ated College Dating Violence and Abuse survey conducted by Knowl Peugh & Glauber, 2011 ). In that study, 43% of college women and 28%. · enced IP A within college, those rates are significantly higher than the rates o innell College. Similarly, the rates of physically violent IPA at Grinnell Coll 1sgender women and 1.2% for cisgender men) were significantly lower than the r ed in the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey of over 16,000 indivi (4.0% for women and 4.7% for men; Black et al., 2011). Alternatively, the rate of physically violent IPA at Grinnell College was not significantly different from the rate reported by the ACHA in their 2014 survey of over 66,000 undergraduate students (2.0%), and the nonsignificant differences were consistent for cisgender female and male participants. A similar pattern emerged for comparisons of the rates at Grinnell College to the results of the AAU study (Cantor et al., 2015). Though definitional differences make the comparison somewhat problematic, the rate of sexual coercion in an intimate partner relationship (e.g., ''pressured me into having sex") at Grinnell College (6.5%) was significantly higher than the rate of forced sexual acts (e.g., ..forced to have sex when you didn't want if) reported by the ACHA (1.8%). lV GC006152 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT When asked about reasons for not leaving an abusive relationship, a substantial number of participants cited a general lack of awareness about what constitutes IP A. Other relatively common reasons for not leaving reason included fear of losing friends and threats by the partner to harm themselves if the relationship ended. Given these reasons, educational efforts are warranted to raise awareness of what constitutes abuse, as well as resources for how to leave such a relationship. Unwanted Sexual Communication The rate of unwanted sexual communication dropped significantly from 2 27.5%) to 2015 ( 17.5%). Despite that statistically significant decrease, cisgender wom en at Grinnell College experience unwanted sexual communication at rates signifi than the rates 2011). At the reported in the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Su · (Black same time, the rates at Grinnell College were less than the rate orted by the across all three gender groups (Cantor et al., 2015).

That rate was significant e reported by participants in 2015 (15.5%). Despite this statistical: , nearly one-quarter (24 .3%) of participants reported expenencm since entering college. To put these numbers into context, a study of college wo ces conducted by the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Justice Programing (DO ound that 18.0% of their participants experienced unwanted sexual contact in the previ 12 months (Fisher et al., 2000), a rate not statistically different from the rate observed at Grinnell College. However, Grinnell College rate was significantly higher than the rate reported in the 2014 ACHA-funded study of college undergraduates (7.6%). The Grinnell College rates also were significantly higher than the current year and any time since entering college rates reported by the AAU across gender categories. Just over 40% of participants who reported unwanted sexual touching also reported that they had such experiences perpetrated by more than one person. In addition, a similar number reported experiencing unwanted sexual touching on more than one occasion. In 2015, the most common V GC006153 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT perpetrator of such incidents were deemed strangers (34.8%), followed by friends (28.3%) and acquaintances (26.1%). Concurrent threat or force was experienced in one in five cases in 2015. Cisgender female students were more likely to be perpetrated against by a person of a different sex while cisgender male students were equally as likely to be perpetrated against by a person of the same or different sex. The most common location for unwanted sexual touching was in a public location on campus. Parties, more generally, were the primary location of such incidents, whether they are on or off campus (67.9%). Specifically, students were at most risk to experiencing unwanted touching at a Harris Center or Gardner Lounge party (40.2%). The chances of experiencin · ST were further increased when alcohol or other drugs were involved. The perpetrator wa intoxicated in 60.9% of such incidents, and in just over half of inciden victim were intoxicated.

To put the nearly 5, assault sine · t, Kreb's and colleagues (2009) Campus Sexual Assault study of . men found that 19% of their sample had experienced sexual That rate was significantly higher than the same rate for cisgender 10.6%). The Grinnell College rate also was significantly lower than ent nationally representative sample of undergraduate student conducted by the ington Post and Kaiser Family Foundation (2015). In that sample, 20% of women and 5% of men reported experiencing sexual assault sometime during college. As noted later in the report, the difference in rates might be due, in part, to methodological differences. The Grinnell College rates were similar to some national benchmark studies and higher than others. For example, the 12-month Grinnell College rates were consistent with those identified from the 2014 ACHA study of undergraduate students. The Grinnell College rates also were not significantly different than those reported for the AAU's survey of over 150,000 students. Fisher and colleagues (2000) in their DOJ-OJP funded study found that 2.8% of college women VI GC006154 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT experienced attempted or completed sexual assault in the previous 12 months, a rate significantly lower than that observed for Grinnell College cisgender women (6.0%). The Grinnell College rate also was significantly higher than the rate observed from 1995 through 2013 in National Crime Victimization Survey using a representative sample of U.S. women ages 18 to 24. In that study, the rate of rape and sexual assault was reported to be at 4.3 out of 1000 (0.43%) for college students (Sinozich & Langton, 2014). Further, the rate of attempted or completed sexual assault was significantly higher than the rate observed in the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey. In that study, the reported the 12-month prevalence rate for rape was for women was 1.1% and that group's lifetime rate of 18.3%. Some participant groups appeared to be at greater risk for attempted and assault than others. For example, cisgender female and transgender or reported experiencing sexual assault at rates four to five times highe However, the rate of sexual assault for non-heterosexual males wa onsisten sexual assault for both heterosexual and non-heterosexual fe articipants. ·0% of cases, the Some trends emerged regarding perpetrators of sexual a perpetrator was a member of the Grinnell College comm approximately 60% of cases, the victim perceived a power differential, whereby th rator held some position of It in less than I 0% of cases power over the victim.

Across the two survey participants reported experiencing one or more form of sexual misconduct ( exclud1 stalking, which was only surveyed in 2015). The rate of experience was 42.4% in 2013, but the rate was significantly lower (33.1%) in 2015. When stalking experiences were included, the rate of any form of sexual misconduct rose to 35.6%, which was still significantly lower than the rate observed in 2013. Considering only unwanted sexual touching and attempted or completed sexual assault, 19.7% of all survey participants reported having experienced a physical form of sexual misconduct within the past year. However, the rate in 2015 was significantly lower (16.9%) than the same rate in 2013 (23.2%). Because the rates of attempted or completed sexual assault remained stable across Vil GC006155 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT survey administrations, this significant decrease is almost exclusively attributable to the reduction in rates of unwanted sexual touching from 2013 to 2015. Excluding those who did not experience any sexual misconduct, the mean number of misconduct types experienced by those who experienced at least one form of misconduct was 1.58 (SD = .83) in 2012-2013 and 1.57 (SD= 87) in 2014-2015. The difference in those means was not statistically significant. Participant groups that seemed most at risk for any type of sexual misconduct included cisgender females, transgender or other gender students, non-heterosexual students, and domestic students of color. Whereas 35.6% of participants reported experiencing one or more sexual 2014-2015, 46.4% of participants reported experiencing one or mores incidents since starting college.

That latt studies. Further, female-identifying heterosexu -heterosexual participants reported rates of any form of sexual misconduct ve 50%, ale-identifying non-heterosexual participants also appeared to e an eleva isk, relative to their heterosexual counterparts. Reporting Misconduct In general, survey participants expressed some skepticism that College officials would be responsive to the concerns of victims of sexual misconduct when reported. Participants also seemed less likely to endors~ beliefs that the College would take appropriate corrective action in such matters. . articipants a perceived that the likelihood that other students would make life · articularly likely. These beliefs were stable across participant difficult fo subgroups. When considering who to report incidents of sexual misconduct, Campus Advocates were endorsed by nearly 50% of all participants in 2015, representing a m~jor increase in endorsement since 2013. Other confidential resources also were endorsed at a rate higher than nonconfidential sources. At the same time, Student Health and Counseling Services staff received a major decrease in endorsement from 2013 to 2015 as a possible reporting source. This observed drop is likely due to the instability in staffing and the perception that appointments are difficult to obtain over the past few years. Observed drops in willingness to report to Campus Safety and Security and Residence Life Coordinators also were observed. Participants in 2015 endorsed a willingness to report to local police, clergy, and the Title IX coordinator at significantly higher Vlll GC006156 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT rates than in 2013. Seeing the Title IX Coordinator as a reporting option nearly doubled from 2013 to 2015. Possibly, this increase is due to publicity around Title IX issues since 2013. Concerning actual reporting, the proportion of participants who experience sexual misconduct who reported their experience to an official resource increased by 4% from 2013 to 2015 (9.5% to 13.6%). The rate ofreporting attempted or completed sexual assault to college officials at Grinnell College in 2015 (35.4%) was higher than several rates observed in national benchmarking studies. Adequate comparison studies for other types of sexual misconduct were not available. Despite the relatively higher reporting rate for sexual assault, the rates of reporting across sexual misconduct all other subtypes is still very low (13.6%), overall. With a rate this low, the vast majority victims of sexual misconduct are not accessing and receiving services and resources that they are entitled to under federal regulations. Though non-reporters endorsed many reasons for not seeking help from an official resource, the primary reasons centered on not believing that what happened constituted abuse or not thinking that what happened was serious enough to warrant assistance. Wanting to deal with the issue privately also was reported as a strong reason. These patterns were largely stable across sexual misconduct subtype, with the exception of attempted and completed sexual assault. For those individuals, shame, embarrassment, and fear of not being believed or even blamed for their experience were endorsed at higher rates than victims of other types of miscon~uct, signaling the unique needs of these individuals when others respond to their reports. ConductProcess Perceptions Approximately half of survey participants repo hey perceived the conduct process to be fair or somewhat fair, and that per ve increased slightly from 2013 to 2015. Further, more people in 2015 · he fairness of the process than what was observed in 2013. However ere not stable across participant subgroups.

Of those participants, four stated that the process was somewhat fair, seven described the process as unfair, and two t comment on the process fairness. ered to support participants' ratings of fairness. Sizeable numbers based their ratings o eir perception that punishments provided to those found responsible of sexual misconduct are inadequate. Others based their ratings on perceptions of the inadequacy of procedures meant to separate victims from alleged perpetrators, inadequate support provided to victims throughout and after the conduct process, and biases against people from various subpopulations on campus that some perceived to be inherent to the conduct system. Fewer contended that there were inadequate supports for those accused of misconduct, that the process was too slow, and that the institution needed greater transparency in several areas. Many of these themes were echoed by victims who had actually experienced the conduct process as a complainant. lX GC006157 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT Participants offered many suggestions for improving the process. These suggestions included enhanced supports for victims and the accused, ideas for dialogue and education, specific policy and procedure reforms, increased and consistent punishment for perpetrators of misconduct, and increased transparency and leadership by administers. Several other participants also used that section of the survey to describe problematic social and cultural forces both globally and locally that affect how sexual misconduct occurs. In the section describing these findings, every attempt was made to include comments that reflected themes that reoccurred across the responses. These comments and estions are a reflection of different participant experiences and may or may not be refl of what the researchers believe. Some comments also included perceptions that mi accurate. However, each comment is provided because it reflects co. es amongst participants' personal experiences or the experiences of others the · ow. A though ea suggestions for improvement may or may not be practical or fi .,,,;'ible, represents an area for increased dialogue and investigation ossible change.

Generally, academic second- and fourth- of fifthyear, female-ide sexual participants rated all forms of sexual misconduct as more of a r coun parts. Additionally, the biggest predictor of perception of the proble ny previous experience with that type of misconduct. Finally, it appeared· tive bystander behaviors that directly address sexual misconduct was a predi rception for all types of misconduct. Presumably, stepping in to prevent or stop eightens personal awareness of such events on campus. The results of the analyses on active bystander behavior engagement are highlighted by several common themes. The most common theme was that female-identified participants engaged in significantly more active bystander behaviors than male-identified participants. Another layer of this theme is that heterosexual male-identified participants report fewer active bystander behaviors than non-heterosexual male-identified participants and both heterosexual and nonheterosexual female participants. This may indicate that programming to male-identified individuals may need to be restructured in order to have a more impactful result. Perhaps X GC006158 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT surprisingly, having received active bystander training was not significantly related to engagement in any for of those behaviors. Further, observation of others engaging in an active bystander behavior was linearly and moderately to strongly related with actual engagement in that same behavior. This result suggests that in order to be more impactful, current active bystander programming should include opportunities to observe example behaviors or encouragement to observe others engaging in these behaviors in other settings. These strategies may produce a more impactful effect on participation in bystander scenarios. Rape Myth Attitudes In general, the acceptance of rape myth attitudes was rare. These general myths persisted across a variety of demographic subgroups, active bys aining experiences, and experiences with sexual misconduct. However, bo tified participants and international students reported less disagreement rape n than did other subgroups. It is important to note, however, that these differe commonly re · difference between "mostly disagree" and "strongly disagr pes of responses t attitude questions.

Fewer students in 2015 tely okay for people who have been drinking or doing other recreational drugs t nsent to having sex than in 2013. A similar decline was observed for participants reporting that consent while sober extends to consent after intoxication. Additionally, proportionally more students in 2015 reported that the ability to give consent depended on the level of intoxication. These findings taken together indicate that students are becoming aware of the gray area that alcohol and other drugs play in the consent process. More in 2015 than in 2013, they understood that just the presence of alcohol or other drugs does not inhibit ones ability to give or obtain consent, but that intoxication level in an important variable to consider. XI GC006159 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT Participants' Recommendations for Prevention The survey concluded the open-ended question, ''What advice do you have for reducing sexual misconduct, stalking, or dating abuse on campus?'' A total of700 participants provided responses (n = 340 in 2013; n = 360 in 2015). Qualitative analyses of these questions were performed and participant responses were coded into a four broad of domains: suggestions for different types of education, changes to cultural elements around parties and sex, suggestions for changes to administrative structure and policy, and other reactions. The m~jority of participants requested additional education. Areas of requested education included definitions of consent and how to obtain consent, active bystander training, and programing to clarify definitions related to sexual misconduct and both the reporting and conduct process. Others specifically requested education for specific groups, such as first-year students and potential perpetrators. Still others wanted more general campus dialogue about topics, such as the role of self-governance and the "hook-up culture'' in sha ing sexual misconduct on campus. Specific suggestions are quoted in that section. ..,·.·:;:::::·: About one-fifth of participants stated that prevention efforts require campus culture change. Specific areas of campus culture that participants identified, included the use and misuse of alcohol and other drugs, "hook-up culture," racism, homophobia, transphobia, hypermasculinism, heteronormativity, patriarchy, and entitlement, among others. Some of these participants also made specific suggestions to increase attractive party alternatives where drugs and alcohol are not central to those experiences. Specific suggestions are quoted in that section. \lllllllllt..,::::111flfl::::·· •,:,,:,:::::::i:i::::·· About 25% of participants responded to these questions with suggested changes to administrative structure and policy. Most of these suggestions overlapped with comments made in other sections (e.g., Conduct Process Perceptions, Reporting Misconduct) and did not seem directly relevant to prevention. Those responses were, however, reported in this section to capture participants' final opportunity to express their experiences and concerns. For example, several used this section to express their anger or dissatisfaction with how past sexual misconduct cases were handled. Several also called for campus policy to change to allow for greater transparency in misconduct cases, including the publication of outcomes, and another sizeable group used this opportunity to call for harsher punishments. Others provided suggestions for improvement to the sexual misconduct conduct and reporting processes, while some participants used this section to advocate for improvements to health and counseling resources. Finally, a few used this section to specifically call for a new Title IX coordinator. Like the previous section, example quotations are provided to illustrate each theme. ··:::: ...,,:.::::·· Finally, a fourth domain was coded to capture less frequent reactions. For example, about 5% of participants commented that they had no knowledge or understanding of issues related to sexual misconduct to provide suggestions, and this percentage fell from 2013 to 2015, particularly for cisgender male participants. About 2% of participants provided responses that explicitly blamed victims for sexual misconduct. Another I 0% of responses were coded as expressing strong anger about the state of sexual misconduct and the processes for dealing with sexual misconduct on campus. Finally, about 3% of participants expressed a sense of hopelessness about the College or society's ability to effectively combat sexual misconduct.

XXI GC006169 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT BACKGROUND AND METHODS During the spring 2012 semester, Grinnell College President, Raynard Kington affirmed the College's commitment to reduce the incidence of sexual misconduct and substance abuse within the Grinnell College community. To start that process, he commissioned an external agency to review the College's existing policies, procedures, and practices related to sexual misconduct and Title IX compliance. On recommendation of those reviewers, President Kington appointed Angela Voos as the College's then-interim Title IX coordinator to be in charge of centralizing the review, investigation and resolution of all allegations of sexual miscond ud compliance with state and federal laws. In addition, in November of2012 President · n created and appointed members to the new Task Force on Safety, Responsibility, a ention (chaired by Ms. Voos) to create and implement campus programing to prevents. nduct, alcohol abuse, and violence. In 2013, the lead author was charged with conducting a su of the climate surro ing sexual 'S report have spent much misconduct. Consistent with the Task Force's charge, th. time reviewing the empirical literature on best practices sexual misconduct, stalking, and intimate partner abuse.

The White House Task Force to Protect Students from Sexual ecommendations in their Not Alone report further supported the need for co Survey Methodology During the spring semester d author of this report, in collaboration with a large number of st , urveyed all students on campus regarding their experiences with intim r a u , wanted sexual communication, unwanted sexual touching, and attempted or co sexual assault. In that survey, students responded to antecedents of s nduc alcohol use), the location of the misconduct (e.g., dorm room), and re en the ey participant and the alleged perpetrator 1 of that miscondu ner). Students also responded to questions about the perception of sexual m ,.1at Grinnell College, definitions of consent, and their engagement in active by In 2015, additional sections were added to the survey to address the incidence factors associated with stalking incidents, experiences with ct, perceptions of and experiences with the conduct process, and reporting sexual acceptance of rape · h attitudes Instruments 1 The term "perpetrator" is used throughout the document to signify the person who was reported to have initiated the sexual misconduct. The term does not signify the guilt of that individual or those individuals in a criminal act or that the individual or individuals have gone through a forn1alconduct or criminal process. I GC006170 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT Survey items were derived from several sources. Guided by the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Crime Statistics Act (Clery Act), the Violence Against Women Act (VA WA), and the Campus Sexual Violence Elimination (Sa VE) Act, sections of the survey for experiences of intimate partner abuse, stalking, unwanted sexual communication, unwanted sexual touching, and attempted or completed sexual assault were included. Definitions of each type of misconduct were derived from these sources and other sources in the research literature and then reviewed by a focus group of approximately 30 students, faculty, and staff. Revisions were implemented to clarify terms and to ensure applicability to the Grinnell College community. Participants responded to whether or not they had experienced these type isconduct during the then current academic. Additional options were added in 2015 to a icipants to indicate they had experienced such misconduct in a previous acade · tions also were provided for participants to indicate if they had experienced somet g simil e misconduct described in the definitions but were unsure if their experienc tall compone the definition. Questions about stalking experiences were inclu only in the 2015 su · ., administration. Participants who indicated they had experienced one or mo f sexual misconduct, were provided with an option to answer additional questions relate ational factors associated with that experience. Candidate descriptors o · also were derived from a review of the literature on sexual assault pe capture the range of possible antecedents and . s (e.g., intoxication, force), locations, and perpetrator characteristics. Thes . so were presented to the previously mentioned focus group to address clarity of ms, relevance to the Grinnell College student experience, and to ide · 1ation that might be useful for future prevention efforts. See App Experiences of intimate pa were College Dating Violenceand oil. The survey consists of 21 behaviorally descriptive items (e.g., part survey from" so as to ga then curr sed using Knowledge Networks, Inc. (2011) me th o control me"). Behavioral anchors were modified for this o "Ne . . appened," "Happened Rarely," and "Happened Often," potentially abusive behaviors. Responses were constrained to the To understan mg the reporting of sexual misconduct to College authorities, several additional questi developed. These included questions about to whom they may have reported, why they 1ded to report to those individuals, how they identified those individuals, and to what degree they felt the individual was helpful. For participants who indicated they did not report their misconduct experience, additional items were taken from the White House Task Force to Protect Students from Sexual Assault's (2014) climate survey Useful Tools document (e.g., I did not report because "I thought I would be blamed for what happened"). With these items, students could indicate what factors affected their decision not to report their experience( s) to authority figures who could take corrective action. Questions about why participants did not report their experience were only included in the 2015 survey. 2 GC006171 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT Additional items were created to gauge participants' perception of each type of sexual misconduct as a problem on the Grinnell College campus. These items were implemented to determine if perceptions of the problem change over time and what groups perceive which types of misconduct as more or less of a problem. Response options for each type of misconduct included "Not a problem," "A minor problem," and "A major problem." Items reflecting perceptions of campus leadership, policies, and reporting were adapted from the White House Task Force's Useful Tools document. The original 12 items from that document were sexual assault-specific ( e.g., "If someone were to report a sexual assault to a campus authority, how likely is it that the university would take the report seriously?" o better determine if there were different perceptions of leadership, policies, and r ing depending upon the type of misconduct reported, these same 12 items were repeat . · timate partner abuse, stalking, unwanted sexual communication, unwanted sexual d sexual assault. d "Not at all Response options included "Very likely,'' "Moderately likely, ''Sli likely.''

Payne, Lonsway, & Fitzgerald's ( 1999) Illinois Rape Myth Acceptance Scale- Short Form was employed to determine endorsement of a variety of common myths about sexual assault.

The response options were "Strongly Agree" to Strongly Disagree on a fivepoint Likert scale. Two open-ended questions were asked at the end of the survey to provide participants with the opportunity to provide any additional information they wanted to share about how sexual misconduct happens on the Grinnell College campus and to provide advice for reducing such misconduct in the future. Finally, eight quality control items were embedded throughout the survey degree to which participants were reading questions and responding t instructed participants to select a particular option (e.g., "For qualit happened rarely").

The Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of the College sent an email to the faculty encouraging them to publicize the survey in their classes. Finally, incentives were offered for survey participation (in 2015 only). The incentives included a random drawing for one of250 2 Special thanks to Joyce Bartlett for her enthusiastic support and tremendous effort tabling, putting up posters, and encouraging students to take the survey. 4 GC006173 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT Chipotle burritos and one of 20 Amazon.com gift cards worth $25 each. Participants needed to opt into the random drawing for these incentives at the completion of the survey. The opt-in procedure allowed for participants to provide a valid Grinnell College email address in a manner that maintained the anonymity of their survey responses. The survey also included several quality control items. These items were included to gauge the authenticity of responding by participants. Participants were removed from the sample for one of several reasons: if they responded incorrectly to three or more of these items; responded incorrectly to 50% or more of the quality control items to which they were exp~sed, completed the entire survey in less than four minutes in 2013 or 5 minutes in 2015; rep :"''.'d they were not a current Grinnell College student (or current student on medical leave); or · participant ") of the survey reported that they responded truthfully to "none" or "some" ( vs. "most" questions.

Single bivariate relations and interactions amongst several variables were tested using chi-square test of independence. Comparison of rates observed in the present sample with rates observed in other, nationally representative samples were tested using both one-sample and independent-sample ztests for proportions. Exploratory factor analyses, using maximum-likelihood estimation and promax rotation were used to identify the factor structure underlying intimate partner abuse and rape myth attitude items. Using this structure, subscales were generated. Factorial analysis of variance statistics 6 GC006175 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT were used to determine main effects and interactions amongst demographic variables for active bystander total and subscale scores, rape myth attitude total and subscale scores, and perceptions of campus leadership, policies, and reporting. Ordinary- least-squares and logistic regression analyses were used to identify predictors of perceptions of different types of sexual misconduct as a major problem and predictors of active bystander behaviors.

Stalking may include unwelcome and repeated visual or physical proximity to a person. It may also include unwelcome or unsolicited emails, instant messages, and messages on online bulletin boards." BASE RATES During the academic year 2014-2015, 6.4% (95% CI: 4.8% to 8.0% nts reported experiencing stalking or some behavior that might have been stalk , of tho 9%(3.9% of total) were certain they were stalked.

Just over graduate student participants completed the survey (19.3% response rate). Cantor an es reported that 4.2% of participants experienced stalking since entering college. Th rate was significantly lower than the rate observed at Grinnell College (z = 8.20, p < .05). Caution should be advanced when interpreting this finding, however, as the definition of stalking used on the AAU survey was potentially narrower than the definitions used in the Grinnell College surveys. Specifically, the AAU definition highlighted that the unwanted communication must have made the participant "afraid for your personal safety," a condition not imposed on the Grinnell College definition. 8 GC006177 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT DEMOGRAPHICS Academic Year The rates of stalking for the different class years over the previous academic year and throughout college are reported in Table STKI.

Grinnell College's ra articular, was significantly higher than that national benchmark (z = 6.41,p < .0 ate for men was statistically equivalent. The National College Women Sexual tion study (NCWSV) found the 12-month stalking incident rate for female students to b etween 13.1% and 10.5% (Fisher, Cullen, & Turner, 2000). Under this comparison, Grinnell's stalking rate, for women, is statistically equivalent to that national benchmark. Comparing Grinnell College's rates to those found from the ACHA-NCHA survey, cisgender female participants reported rates marginally higher than those responding to the NCHA (6.6%, z = 1.86, p = .06), while cisgender male participants reported rates that were not statistically different from those in the NCHA (3.0%). The AAU reported rates of stalking by gender, as well. In their report, undergraduate transgender participants experienced the highest rate of stalking since entering college ( 12.1% ) followed by 9 GC006178 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT undergraduate female (6.7%) and undergraduate male (2.2%) participants. The comparable rate of stalking since entering Grinnell College for transgender or other gender participants was not significantly different from that reported in the AA U study ( 12.1% vs. 19.4% ), possibly owing to the small sample of trans gender or other gender participant in the Grinnell College sample. However, the rates for Grinnell College female ( 18.4 %, z = 6.68, p < .05) and male participants (6.9%, z = 3.32,p < .05) were significantly higher than the rates reported by the AAU. For subsequent analyses of gender, binary-identified transgender participants will be grouped with the gender they identified on the survey. Sexual Orientation For sexual orientation, there was no significant difference between gay, or other identifying participants and heterosexual participants· th rates respectively.

However, these differences were not statistically significant. Ethnicity and Race by Gender A significant interaction was observed for rates of stalking by gender and ethnicity/race, as outlined in Table STK3. Across all participants, female participants experienced a significantly 10 GC006179 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT higher rate of stalking than male participants. However, this significant difference only held amongst DWC participants, (2, N = 587) = 16.70, p < .05. The difference failed to remain significant for DSOC and international student participants. Alternatively, differences in rates of stalking for members of different ethnic/racial groups were not statistically significant for both females and males. x2 Table STK3 Rates o[stalking bv gender and ethnic/racial background Female Male DSOC 6.6% 3.6% International Students 6.9% DWC 10.2% Note.

No differential patterns of community member status emerged for any demographic subgroup. Perpetrator/Victim Relationship Along with involvement within the college community, the relationship between the participant and the stalker was also important. Table STK5 details the relationship of the perpetrator of the stalking to the participant. 11 GC006180 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT TableSTK5 Rates for each type of relationship o{the perpetrator to the participant Relationship of Perpetrator Proportion Who Experienced Current or Former Romantic Partner 20.9% Friend 30.2% Acquaintance 30.2% Stranger 18.6% The most common type of perpetrator/participant relationship was between acquaintances (30.2% ).

Just over one-third (36.4%) reported that they perceived a power imbalance. Perceptions of a power imbalance did not interact with any demographic characteristics of the participant either, which suggests the importance of other situational factors. 12 GC006181 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT Fear of Threat and Force Stalking also coincided with fear of threat and violence for some participants. In particular, for participants who were stalked, 30.2% experienced some form of threat, 27.9% experienced force, 41.9% experienced either threat or force, and 16.3% experienced both threat and force. There was no interaction between experience of a threat or force and gender, ethnicity, or sexual orientation, which once again suggests that the dynamics of the situation are likely more important than individual characteristics of the participants. ANTECEDENTS AND CO-OCCURRING FACTORS OF STALKING Mode of Stalking Participants responded to a variety of questions to describe theirs · mg exp reported becoming aware of the stalking in a variety of ways. e STK7 deta1 ways in which participants became aware that they were ex encing stalking.

From the participants' experiences, it seems lking occur with some form of electronic contact which is important for and discourage stalking behavior. QUALITATIVE RESPONSES Participants were asked to respond to two open-ended questions: Is there anything else you would like us to know about your experience, and is there anything else you would like us to know that will help us prevent incidents like this from happening in the future? A total of 25 participants responded to one or both of these questions. 13 GC006182 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT A few themes emerged. While a few reported that their experience was unavoidable ( e.g., "There is literally nothing that could've been done in this situation, unfortunately), three participants indicated that the perpetrator of the stalking had a known reputation for such behavior. For example, "He had a reputation for bothering a lot of girls, especially first year students." These participants reported that they had wished more had been done to monitor those individuals. For example, ''the person was seriously mentally ill and the school was aware of this fact yet it seems very little was done to monitor/ prevent risky behavior.'' Others reported that they wish they had been aware of how to report and what resources might be made available to them. For example, ..Let freshmen know, more explicitly, · e resources they have to avoid or prevent such occurrences.'' Others added that education relationships and about boundaries boundaries might be useful to prevention. For example, "Talking in or· for the new space of dorm life." that engage I.king Many participants also suggested clear punishments for indivi ·<''''ls behavior might serve as a deterrent. For example, one parti · t wrote, "punish p e who are ·nst t that report abuse)." reported for doing these behaviors, and punish retaliator Another participant had this to say, ..I would like to see t e more action towards incidents like this. I spent weeks being bullied, harassed, an unsafe and the school didn't do anything about it." Some participants also wrote that the proces experience was traumatizing for them.

SUMMARY A Overall, 3.9% of survey participants were certain they were stalked during the 2014-2015 academic year, and 6.4% of participants experienced behavior that may have been stalking. These rates were not significantly different from rates reported from a sample of over 66,000 undergraduate students in 2014 by the ACHA. Cisgender women (9.0%) and transgender or other gender participants (9.7%) reported experiencing stalking at a higher rate than cisgender men (1.9%). Twelve-month national benchmarks for stalking for women from the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence 14 GC006183 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT Survey were 4.0% and for men were 1.3% (Black et al., 2010). The rate for women at Grinnell College was significantly higher than the rate reported in that study, while the rate for men at Grinnell College was statistically equivalent. The National College Women Sexual Victimization study found the 12-month stalking incident rate for female students to be between 13.1% and 10.5% (Fisher et al., 2000), statistically equivalent to the rate observed at Grinnell College. Similarly, the rates for cisgender female participants at Grinnell College were marginally higher than those reported in the ACHA study mentioned above (6.6%), while cisgender male participants reported rates that were not statistically different from those found by the ACHA (3.0%). When considering rates of stalking since entering college, cisgender female ( 18.4%) and male participants (6.9%) reported significantly higher rates than those report y the Association of American Universities' study (6.7% and 2.2%, respective) ntor et al., 2015), while transgender or other gender Grinnell College participants reporte (19.4%) that were not significantly different from the rates reported by the AAU ( 12.1° Stalking was most likely to be perpetrated by other students, e · friends or ac ances, and was most often to occur public places and at multiple locati . across campus. Sta · g using electronic means also was quite common ( e.g., via text ial media). Nearly 60% of stalking victims reported that their experience lasted g ne month. 15 GC006184 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT INTIMATE PARTNER ABUSE DEFINITION For the purpose of this survey, an intimate partner relationship (or dating) was defined as "ongoing intimacy (emotional, sexual, or both) with a partner." A relationship was determined to be abusive if survey participants reported ongoing controlling behaviors, any incident of pressure from their partner to do something against their will, or any incident of threat or violence in the relationship. BASE RATES A total of 59 .1% of Grinnell College students self-reported being in lationship across · (59.6%). Of both survey administrations. The rates were consistent from 2013 ( . o) t those in a dating relationship, 35.2% experienced one or more he potentiall behaviors listed on the survey on at least one occasion ( see IP A 1). Of all st s, in dating relationships or otherwise, 20.8% experienced at l ·on of potentially abusive behavior by an intimate partner. To avoid the possibility instances of some behaviors defined as controlling counting as intimate partn e.g., told me how to dress on one occasion), controlling types of behaviors were only count buse when they were · patterns. cidents of pressuring a reported to have occurred frequently or were partner to engage in behaviors against their f violen were counted as abuse.

However, the rates across subtypes did vary, with the highest being Control (29.8%), then Physical (16.1 %) and Pressure (15.1 %), and lastly Threat/Violence (8.0%). The background 17 GC006186 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT research for IP A usually focused on one of these behavioral groupings. After the overall comparisons of IPA rates, additional analyses were completed on the subtypes of IPA. This was done for the goal of creating relevant cross-checks with past research and national benchmarks.

Incidence rates especially vary when pertaining to controlling behaviors and sexual coercion, even across studies with similar methodologies. Typically, however, studies often analyze the rates on the physical violence and sexual coercion. Therefore, a Physical subscale was created (see Table IPAl), which included all physical-type behaviors in the Threat/Violence factor, as well as the ressure to have sex item. The rates for all subtypes of IPA are presented in Table IPA2.· ..,.,.. Knowledge Networks Inc. surveyed 508 college students during their 2011 College Dating Violence and Abuse poll and found a incidence rate of 36% experienced IPA since entering college (Peugh & Glauber, 2011 ). That rate is most directly comparable to the rate observed in this study, as they used the same survey instrument. The 2015 incidence rate for this current study was significantly lower at 20.6%, z = -11.58, p < .05. The rate observed in 2013 (21.1 %) also was significantly lower than the rate reported by Knowledge Networks, Inc. Their survey also found that 43% of dating college women and 28% of dating college men experienced any IPA while in college. These rates are significantly higher than the rates observed for female (20.3%; z = -12.59,p < .05 and male participants (19.0%%; z =-4.15,p < .05) at Grinnell College in 2015. ··:·r.·.·.·.·.·.·.·.·.:.: ... In spring 2014, the American College Health Association (ACHA) surveyed over 66,000 undergraduate students about a variety of health-related topics in their National College Health Assessment (NCHA). Overall, they reported that 2.0% of students reported experiencing a physically abusive intimate partner relationship in the previous 12 months. That rate is significantly lower than the most analogous rate for threats or violence at Grinnell College during the 2014-2015 academic year (4.8%%; z = 2.86, p < .05). The rate for female participants at Grinnell College also was significantly higher than the rate observed by ACHA ( 10.3% vs. 2.1 %; z = 4.59, p < .05), but the rates were not significantly different for males (3.6% for Grinnell College vs. 1.8% for ACHA). The difference in rates for all participants and femaleidentified participants might be due, in part, to how these rates were generated. The ACHA rate was limited to enacted physical violence ("Within the last 12 months, have you been in an intimate (coupled/ partnered) relationship that was: Physically abusive? (e.g., kicked, slapped, 18 GC006187 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT punched)", while the definition used in the present study included both enacted physical violence and threats of violence. Limiting the Grinnell College rate only to that observed for the item "Hurt (hit, slapped, choked, punched, kicked) me when angry" the difference in rates disappears. The rates for enacted physical violence in an intimate partner relationship were 1.5% for all participants, 1.6% for female-identified students, and 1.2% for male-identified students. None of these rates were significantly different than the rates reported for physical abuse by the ACHA. The ACHA also asked about sexually abusive experiences in an intimate partner relationship. Of those taking that survey 1.8% reported experiencing "forced" sexual acts. That rate was significantly higher than the rate of sexual coercion observed at Grinnell College in 2015, z = 5.42, p < .05. Also, while the difference in rates of sex coercion at Grinnell College and in the ACHA samples for male-identified students were statistically nonsignificant, the rates of sexual coercion for female identified students at Grinnell College (9.0%) were significantly higher than the rates observed by the ACHA (2.2%; z = 5.29, p < .05). These differences might partly be explained by how the questions were worded. The ACHA asked a single question that focused on violent sexual abuse: "Within the last 12 months, have you been in an intimate (coupled/ partnered) relationship that was: Sexually abusive? ( e.g., forced to have sex when you didn't want it, forced to perforn1 or have an unwanted sexual act performed on you)" Alternatively, the question asked of Grinnell College students only implied pressure and no violence: "Pressured me into having sex (oral, anal, or vaginal) when I didn't want t'&fConceivably, the latter question inquires about a broader set of potentiall abusive behaviors, which resulted in higher observed rates at Grinnell College. ····· . . The National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NIPS VS) was issued to 16,507 participants ages 18 years and older and was administered via telephone interviews, 16,507 interviews were completed (Black et al, 2011 ). Physical violence in the NIPSVS study was defined as behaviors ranging from slapping to more severe violations, such as choking and burning. The 12-month incidence rates for physical violence were 4.0% for women and 4.7% for men. Women at Grinnell College during the 2014-2015 academic year had significantly higher reports of physical abuse (20.6%; z = 9.07, p < .05) than those in the NISVS survey (4.0%). However, the incidence rate for men at Grinnell College (5.6%) was not significantly different. The differences across incidence rates could be explained by the differences in definition between studies; the current study included threats of violence and sexual pressure into the definition, whereas Black and colleagues limited their definition to only physical acts that occurred. For example, the more direct comparison would be responses to item "Hurt (hit, me when angry". For that item, 1.5% of participants endorsed slapped, chok'Ji~\)\i\mch~~~))!IHcked) experiencing physical violence. Limited to 2015 and by gender identity, 1.6% of femaleidentified participants and 1.2% of male-identified participants reported experiencing physical violence in an intimate partner relationship. Using these rates, the rate of physical violence in an intimate partner relationship was significantly lower for female (z = -4 .27, p < .05) and male (z = -5.81,p < .05) Grinnell College students. Edwards and colleagues (2015) surveyed 6,030 college students to detern1ine 6-month incidence rates of physical dating violence in college. They also looked at rates of physical dating violence within heterosexual and sexual minority subgroups. In their study, female sexual minority students had significantly higher incidence rates for physical dating violence (30.3%) than 19 GC006188 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT female heterosexual participants (12.9%). In this current study, during the 2014-2015 academic year, non-heterosexual cisgender women experienced physical IPA (24.1 %) at a greater rate than heterosexual cisgender women ( 19. I%). Although, they both follow the same trend, the Edwards et al. rate for sexual minority women was significantly higher (z = 3.20, p = < .05) than the 2015 rates for Grinnell College. On the other hand, their rates for heterosexual female participants was significantly lower (z = 3.48, p < .05). The rates for men in the Edwards et al. (2015) study were higher than the rates observed for male-identifying Grinnell College participants, with 28.0% for male heterosexual participants (versus the 5.4% rate at Grinnell College; z = -22.09, p < ,05) and 30.2% for the male sexual minority students (versus 7.4% at Grinnell College; z = -19 .24, p < ,05). These differences do not necessarily mean that the rates of physical dating violence is lower at Grinnell College since they used a more comprehensive and direct measurement tool (16-item Sqfe Dates Physical Violence VictimizationScale; Edwards et al., 2015) that was perhaps mor~...sensitive to n~.~.!.~ ...Populations. ,,::::11fjfl:: ··::::i1111ttlllllll::::,, The Association of American Universities contracted Westat (Cantor et al., 2015) to survey students at 27 universities in 2015 about a variety of sexual misconduct experiences. They included three questions meant to assess controlling, threatening, or physically violent forms of IPA since entering college. Though the rates AAU rates are less directly comparable to the Grinnell College rates due to different methodologies and timef rame sampled, they reported that 12.8% of female, 22.8% of transgender or other gender, and 9.3% of male participants experienced IPA since entering college. None of these rates were significantly different from the rates reported for female (13.5%), transgender or other gender (15.9%), and male (9.0%) participants at Grinnell College.

However, the differences in rates across academic years were not sigm · ant. Furthermore, there were no significant changes across time for each survey year, showing that rates have been consistent for each academic year, as well as across survey year. This finding means that age did not necessarily play a role in avoiding abusive relationships. The lack of academic year discrepancy was expected because there have been no direct interventions or prevention efforts towards creating IP A awareness for incoming first years since the 2013 survey was administered. 20 GC006189 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT TableIPA3 Rates of intimate partner abuse by academic year and survey year. 2013 First Year Second Year Third Year Fourth/Fifth Year 21.6% 21.0% 21.4% 17.2% 2015 23.1% 20.6% 19.5% 18.9% Gender Rates oflPA by gender are presented in Table IPA4.

Grinnell's rate is significantly highe national average in this regard, but this could potentially be attributed to the fact that this was a national sample against a sample of exclusively college students. Black and colleagues reported that that 12.8% of men experienced non-contact unwanted sexual experiences at any point during their lifetime, but in 2015, 13.1% of male participants (z = 0.16, p > .05) from the present survey reported that they had experienced USC, and that rate rose to 16.1% "unsure" responses were included (z = 1.79, p > .05). These rates did not significantly differ from the national average. Black et al. found that 2. 7% of men experienced an instance within the last year. In comparison, 7.3% of Grinnell College male participants (z = 5.96,p < .05) from the present survey reported experiencing USC, and when "unsure" responses, the 28 GC006197 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT proportion rose to 9 .1% (z = 8.30, p < .05). Both rates were significantly higher than that found by Black and colleagues. Black et al. defined non-contact unwanted sexual experiences as "those unwanted experiences that do not involve any touching or penetration, including someone exposing their sexual body parts, flashing, or masturbating in front of the victim, someone making a victim show his or her body parts, someone making a victim look at or participate in sexual photos or movies, or someone harassing the victim in a public place in a way that made the victim feel unsafe." This definition differs greatly from the one used in the present study. It is broader and includes behaviors ( e.g., exposing sexual body parts) that were not included in the de , ·on used for this study. These differences could, in part account for the disparity in rates a The Association of American Universities (AAU) commissioned W survey college undergraduate and graduate students at 27 major un . 150,000 ( 19.3% response rate) students participated. In additi · nces with a variety of types of sexual misconduct, they asked five ques · by others since entering college.

Anything Else Many participants used this section to give further details about the USC they had experienced, such as outlining how it happened, what was said, and who else was present when the USC occurred. Some of these participants addressed instances that occurred at parties, between committed romantic partners, and over social media. A number of participants expressed feeling a low level of severity towards the USC they had experienced - "It was on the mild end of the spectrum of sexual misconduct," "It was more 39 GC006208 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT annoying than anything," "It was very low-level harassment, but, overall, not particularly serious.'' One participant in particular addressed this feeling: "I feel like there can be a huge grey area surrounding situations like this, and I think the situations I have been in have definitely (have) fallen into that grey area. Almost every time, they were things that made me uncomfortable, but seemed like they could almost have been considered 'harmless' despite how uncomfortable they made me."

Also, over 40% of participants who experienced unwanted sexual ication stated that they received such communication from two or more people within the pa ·· year and over 50% reported they had such experiences on more than one occasion. The most common experience was hearing the communication in person (80.0% ), but many also reported experiencing unwanted sexual communication by text message (22.5%) or social media (15.5%). Students at greatest risk for experiencing included first-year students, heterosexual female, nonheterosexual male participants, and both non-domestic and non-white participants. Unwanted sexual communication occurred most frequently at parties, especially college-sponsored parties at the Harris Center and Gardner Lounge, and the perpetrator was reported as intoxicated in 40 GC006209 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT approximately two-thirds of incidents. Surprisingly, physical force co-occurred in just over one fifth of incidents. Such factors should be considered, as the College moves forward in initiating intervention policies to lower USC on campus. 41 GC006210 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT UNWANTED SEXUAL TOUCHING DEFINITION For the purposes of this survey, unwanted sexual touching (UST) was defined as "any contact with breasts, buttocks, groin, or genitals without consent. This includes the use of body parts being touched with another object, or being made to touch yourself or another with any or on any of these body parts. Unwanted touching may be brief, appear accidental, or begin with consented, acceptable touching and subsequently progress outside the boundaries of consent." BASE RATES Survey Comparisons Of the students responding to the 2015 survey, 15.5% (95% C they had experienced unwanted sexual touching during the is significantly lower than the rate of unwanted sexual to 25.8%) reported during the 2012-2013 academic year (9 rted that The 2015 survey allowed for an examination of experiences o and academic years while at Grinnell Colleg itional 8.8° :d% in total) of2015 survey participants reported experiencing U hile m college.

The rate of UST experiences reported in 2015 at Grinnell College ificantly higher than the rate reported for the NCHA (z = 6.61,p < .05). After comparing the 15 survey to other nationally distributed college surveys, Grinnell College had an overall higher rate of UST experiences over the course of one year, despite the reduction in UST rates from 2013 to 2015. 42 GC006211 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT DEMOGRAPHICS Academic Year No significant difference in rates of UST emerged across academic years for either 2013 or 2015 administration of the survey (see Table USTl). However, there were significant differences between survey years when separated by academic year. The rates of UST in 2013 were significantly higher than the rates of UST in 2015 for third-year(/ (1, N= 371) = 9.28 p < .05) and fourth- or fifth-year participants (/ ( 1, N = 356) = 4.340, p < .05). The rates were not significantly different for 1st and 2ndyear participants across survey years.

Gender Identity There were significant differences in UST rates between survey years for gender identity groups (see Table UST2). From 2013 to 2015, experiences of UST significantly decreased for both cisgender female (I, N= 953) = 6.884,p < .05) and male (I, N= 564) = 7.315,p < .05) participants. Though there was an increase in the rate of UST for transgender or other gender participants, that increase was not statistically significant. Within survey years, the rates of UST across gender identity groups were not stable. Significant chi-square values emerged for the analysis ofUST rates by gender identity in 2013 (/ (2, N= 721) = 33.303,p < .05) and 2015 (/ 50.0% .. 45.0% 45.5% C2013 •2015 1 · 40.8°fo4I.5% e ~ 40.0% 37.1% e i:i.. ·- ; 35.0% ~ ~ 30.0% ... ~ tedin that section . ..::::11111f riii::::::::·:······ ········:·::::::iiit1111111111it1;:: ··::::i 1it1r1:::· About one-fifth of participants stated that prevention efforts will require campus culture change. Specific areas of campus culture that participants identified, included the use and misuse of alcohol and other drugs, "hook-up culture," racism, homophobia, transphobia, hypermasculinism, heteronormativity, patriarchy, and entitlement, among others. Some of these participants also made specific suggestions to increase attractive party alternatives where drugs and alcohol are not central to those experiences. Specific suggestions are quoted in that section. About 25% of participants responded to these questions with suggested changes to administrative structure and policy. Most of these suggestions overlapped with comments made in other sections (e.g., Conduct Process Perceptions, Reporting Misconduct) and did not seem directly relevant to prevention. Those responses were, however, reported in this section to capture participants' final opportunity to express their experiences and concerns. For example, several used this section to express their anger or dissatisfaction with how past sexual misconduct cases were handled. Several also called for campus policy to change to allow for greater transparency 174 GC006343 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT in misconduct cases, including the publication of outcomes, and another sizeable group used this opportunity to call for harsher punishments. Others provided suggestions for improvement to the sexual misconduct conduct and reporting processes, while some participants used this section to advocate for improvements to health and counseling resources. Finally, a few used this section to specifically call for a new Title IX coordinator. Like the previous section, example quotations are provided to illustrate each theme. Finally, a fourth domain was coded to capture less frequent reactions. For example, about 5% of participants commented that they had no knowledge or understanding of issues related to sexual misconduct to provide suggestions, and this percentage fell from 2013 to 2015, particularly for cisgender male participants. About 2% of participants provided responses that explicitly blamed victims for sexual misconduct. Another 10% of responses were coded as expressing strong anger about the state of sexual misconduct and the processes for dealing with sexual misconduct on campus. Finally, about 3% of participants expressed a sense of hopelessness ab.outthe College's or society's ability to effectively combat sexual misconduct. 175 GC006344 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT CONCLUSIONSAND RECOMMENDATIONS CONCLUSIONS In any given year, over one third of all Grinnell College students experienced at least one form of sexual misconduct. Also, across a college career, that proportion rises to nearly half, with just over one quarter experiencing a physical form of sexual misconduct. Though the overall rate of sexual misconduct fell from 2015 to 2013, the rates remain unacceptably high. Experiences with stalking constituted a new area of area of assessment in 15 survey. Seemingly, the rates of stalking are equivalent to or slightly higher than · ational ated by friends or benchmarks, particularly for cisgender women.

One positive finding from the survey was that the rates of unwanted sexual communication decreased significantly from 2013 to 2015. Yet, a quarter of students experienced such communication at least once while at college, and of those, more than half experience unwanted sexual communication on more than one occasion. The most common mode for such experiences is hearing the communication in person, but such communication by electronic means also was common. Unwanted sexual communication occurred most frequently at parties, especially college-sponsored parties at the Harris Center and Gardner Lounge, and the perpetrator was reported as intoxicated in approximately two-thirds of incidents. Surprisingly, physical force co- 176 GC006345 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT occurred in just over one fifth of incidents. Students at greatest risk for experiencing included first-year students, heterosexual female, non-heterosexual male participants, and both nondomestic and non-white participants. Another positive finding pertained to the significant drop in rates of unwanted sexual touching from 2013 to 2015. However, this positive finding is tempered by the observation that nearly a quarter of participants experienced this type of misconduct since entering college. Further, while the rate of unwanted sexual touching was similar to the rate found in one benchmark study, it was significantly higher than two others, particularly for cisgender women and transgender or other gender participants. In addition, of those who experienced unwanted s l touching, four in ten experienced that misconduct by more than one perpetrator and on han one occasion. These types of experiences were most commonly perpetrated by peopl d strangers, though just over a quarter of participants experienced this miscondu ds and another quarter from acquaintances.

This drop in rates is largely attributable to the reductions in experiences of unwanted sexual communication and touching across survey years, and even with the drop, over one third or participants reported some sexual misconduct experience in 2015. That rate climbed to nearly 50% when participants were asked to consider experiences since entering college. Shockingly, for some groups, experiences of sexual misconduct since entering college are normative. For example, nearly two out of every three of fourth-year female participants reported experiencing one or more incidents of sexual misconduct since arriving at Grinnell College. When considering only physical forms of sexual 177 GC006346 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT misconduct, the rates remain high, with nearly one in six participants experiencing physical sexual misconduct in the previous year and just over one in four having such an experience since entering college. Further, even with the reduced rates in 2015, approximately nearly three in ten first-year female students and just over four in ten fourth-year female students experienced a physical form of sexual misconduct since entering college. These are rates that significantly exceed rates observed in other studies. Transgender or other gender participants, heterosexual females, and both non-heterosexual female and male participants were all at an elevated risk of these types of experiences, a finding that did not seem to vary much across other individual subtypes of sexual misconduct, as well. Rates of reporting sexual misconduct to campus officials varied by the t misconduct experienced and, generally, constituted a rare experience amongst victi. .6% overall in 2015). However,just over one-third of sexual assault victim-surviv 2015 survey administration reported their experience in 2015, and that rate was nifican · her than most rates reported in other benchmarking studies.

Also, though receiving a significant increase in endorsement as ince 2013, the Title IX Coordinator was endorsed by less than one in Concerning the conduct process, approximately half of survey participants reported that they perceived the conduct process to be fair or somewhat fair, a proportion that mimics the judgments of fairness reported by victim-survivors who reported going through the process. The remaining half judged the process as unfair or did not advance an opinion. However, perceptions of fairness were not stable across participant subgroups. For example, transgender or other gender participants were much more likely to rate the process as unfair than cisgender females who were more likely to see the process as unfair than cisgender males. 178 GC006347 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT Multiple reasons were offered to support participants' ratings of fairness. Sizeable numbers based their ratings on their perception that punishments provided to those found responsible of sexual misconduct are inadequate. Others based their ratings on perceptions of the inadequacy of procedures meant to separate victims from alleged perpetrators, inadequate support provided to victims throughout and after the conduct process, and biases against people from various subpopulations on campus that some perceived to be inherent to the conduct system. Fewer contended that there were inadequate supports for those accused of misconduct, that the process was too slow, and that the institution needed greater transparency in several areas.

Generally, participants to Grinnell College's affirmative consent policy, and though some emerge, these definitions were largely stable across demographic Finally, participants were provided an opportunity to provide suggestions for how to prevent future instances of sexual misconduct at Grinnell College. Generally, participants wanted more education about a variety of topics, including programs to clarify definitions, policies, and procedures related to consent, reporting, and the conduct process. Others wanted increased campus dialogue about the role self-governance, alcohol and other drug use, and the "hook up culture" play in the promotion of sexual misconduct. About a quarter used that section to recommend more general or specific changes to administrative structure, policy, and response. 179 GC006348 SEXUAL CONDUCT: CULTURE AND RESPECT Notably, many participants expressed strong anger at the current state of the College, as it relates to issues of sexual misconduct, while other seemed to express hopelessness.

Having tro uble view ing this email? View it as a web page instead . GRINNELL COLLEGE V To the Grinnell community, Yesterday the President's office received a letter from the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR) notifying us that OCR has opened an investigation into a Title IX complaint filed against the College. We understand that OCR will serve as a neutral fact-finder . The opening of the investigation does not involve any determination as to the complaint's merits. We welcome this review and will work collaboratively with OCR to ensure that our practices and policies are as effective as possible . Indeed , last spring President Kington asked OCR to provide Grinnell with technical assistance and guidance under Title IX. The President's request coincided with a Huffington Post article that described student accounts of Grinnell's response to reports of sexual violence in 2012 . The College was precluded from addressing these matters publicly, given federal privacy laws . As President Kington noted in his camp us message last March, "as the federal agency charged with conducting thorough and neutral investigations into potential civil rights violations, OCR is uniquely equipped to view a// available information and then advise us, on the basis of the full facts , as to whether we complied with the letter and spirit of the law." At the time OCR publicly "commend[ed] Grinnell College for its commitment to ensuring that all students have the opportunity to learn in an environment free from sexual violence. " In the media accounts surrounding the President 's request, the College learned for the first time that six Grinnell students had previously filed a complaint with OCR. OCR subsequently declined to provide us with technical assistance in light of the pending complaint. I wanted you to hear the news about the investigation directly from the College. OCR 's process is exacting and takes time . We will do everything in our power to resolve the matter promptly and collaboratively. While Grinnell has long been committed to maintaining an environment free from discrimination and harassment , in recent years the College has proactively worked to develop and enhance trauma-informed, prompt and equitable College policies and practices that incorporate evolving guidance from OCR and the complex dynamics of issues of sexual violence. Nonetheless , we are committed to ensuring that we are doing everything possible to prevent and respond appropriately to incidents of sexual violence and will continue to seek improvements that tend to the needs of our community . We support the rights of our students to file a civil rights complaint , and we will continue to provide support and care for all of our community members. As the College 's Title IX Coordinator, I am available to meet with any community member to discuss our policies and procedures , to report a concern about sexual or gender-based harassment and violence , or to provide information about available resources and reporting options on and off campus. Please contact me at voos@grinnell.edu . You can also find a full list of policy resources on Grinnell's Sexual Respect webs ite. Finally, I want to thank the many students, faculty, staff, and alumni who are working to make Grinnell a safer and better place . Preventing sexual violence is everyone 's job, and Grinnell is fortunate to have such a dedicated community.

Tamburro Supervisory Attorney Office for Civil Right s 500 W. Madison Street , Suite 1475 Chicago, IL 60661 Dear Karen, Roberto and Tamara, Thank you for taking the time to speak with Grinnell last week. We appreciate your willingness to embark on thi s investigation with transparent and op en communication. As we shared in our initial telephon e call, Grinnell is committed to creating and maintaining a living, learning and working environment free from harassment and discrimination. The College has taken significant steps over the past several years to ensure that College policies , procedure s and pract ices comport with the evolving federal laws and OCR guidance. We are optimistic that the College's care and attention will be evident in the policies, trainin g pro grams and inv estigative documents provided in response to OCR 's data request. Among other significant accomplishments, Grinnell appointed Angela Voos , the President's Chief of Staff, as the College's Title IX Coordinator; imp lem ente d an umbrella policy that applied to all community memb ers; significantly expa nded educational programming and training for both students and employees; conducted several forms of climate assessment and surveys; and , in keeping with Grinnell' s deeply held tradition of self-governance, engaged student leadership in Title IX issues throughou t. In keepin g with these step s, Grinnell mak es the following specific requ ests: 1) Grinnell is intere sted in pursuing early complaint resolution under secti on 201 of the Case Proc ess ing Manua l (CPM). Each of the individual complaints in the notice of Philadelphia Detroit Boston Berwyn Washington, D.C. Harrisburg Ornnge County www.pepperlaw.com Los Angeles Princeton New York Silicon Valley Pit1sbt1rg h Wilmington Pepper Hamilton LLP -=-=----- Anomq.-sar Law Page2 August 4, 2015 investigation reference allegations of retaliation by the College, and as they raise discrete issues, we believe they may be appropriate for a 201 resolution. 2) Should early complaint resolution not be viable, Grinnell requests that OCR consider this matter for voluntary resolution under section 302 of the CPM . As you are aware , Grinnell initially requested that OCR provide technical assistance in March 2015 - a request that was denied given OCR 's receipt of a Title IX complaint against the College. In light of the College's willingness to voluntarily invite an OCR review, and in light of the fact that the OCR investigation was only opened on 2 individua l complaints, this matter is particularly appropriate for voluntary resolution. 3) Grinnell is interested in real-time resolution of concerns, if any, identified by OCR. We have worked diligently to earn the trust of our student body and foster increased reporting. We are also open to improving or enhancing existing practices . To that end, please consider this an ongoing request for timely feedback from OCR about any current compliance concerns. ln that spirit, we appreciate the feedback you have already shared in our initial call. 4) With respect to Student A and Student D, we understand from our phone call that (b)(6); (b)(7(C) As promised , we have enclosed a copy of the letter to the community sharing the opening of the OCR investigation. We bave also received uofice !(b)( 6): (bX7(C) Finally, thank you for granting of a reasonable extension on the August 6, 2015 deadline.

GRINNELL COLLEGE Title IX Grinnell, Iowa 50112 (641) 269 -4999 I. Data Request# 2 A. The College's Title IX Policy Prohibiting Sexual Discrimination , Harassment and Assault The College's current policies related to sexual and gender-based harassment and violence are available online at: http ://www .grinnell.edu/po licies. Additionally , copies of the relevant policies can be accessed on the College's Title IX and Sexual Respect webpage : https ://www .grinne ll.edu/campus -life/sexua lrespect/t it leix. At the beginning of the 2014-2015 academic year, the College's Title IX policy in effect was the Grinnell College Sexual Harassment and Misconduct Policy {last updated 8/21/2014), attached as GC000060. This policy is an umbrella policy that applies to all students, employees and third parties and encompasses all forms of sexual and gender -based harassment and violence . On February 3, 2015, in response to student feedback, the Sexual Harassment and Misconduct Policy was revised and replaced by the Grinnell College Guide to Preventing, Reporting, and Responding to Sexual Harassment and Sexual Misconduct {Guide), attached as GCOOOOOl.The Guide has expanded content, but is largely consistent in tone and core principles. Key changes from the policy to the Guide, as shared in a March 3, 2015 letter to the community from President Kington, include: • Reorganized for clarity: Our current policy, while thorough, is long and hard to navigate. The draft is reordered to improve access to actionable information and includes the changes listed here . • Establishes use of outside adjudicators : Sexual harassment and sexual misconduct cases are often complex. The College will now engage an outside adjudicator in all such cases. (Effective immed iately. ) • Continues option to use outside investigators : The draft explains that the College may engage an outside investigator in sexual harassment and sexual misconduct cases, as needed. • Incorporates the College's conflict of interest policy: Community members raised questions about conflicts of interest related to response to and adjudication of sexual misconduct. The draft addresses these questions more explicitly and includes a copy of the College's conflict of interest policy. • Affirm s speech freedoms and explains terminology: The draf t clarifies the distinct ion between a complainant's or victim's right to choose language for his/her/hir narrative and the standardized termino logy used by the misconduct process as per Title IX. GRINNELL COLLEGE Title IX Grinnell, Iowa 50112 (641) 269 -4999 • Increases t he retention period for recordin gs: The draft extends the retention period to seven years for audio recordings of sexual harassment and sexual misconduct adjudications. (Effective immediately.) • Affirm s t he right t o choose a support person : All parties involved in a case have the right t o bring a support person to meetings with administration and to the adjudication meeting . The draft affirms that students, faculty, and staff may choose any person, including an attorney, to fill this ro le in cases of sexual harassment or sexual misconduct . (In effect since Fall.) • St udents in position s related to safety : The College currently requires Student Advisers (SAs)to be in good conduct standing . Though not part of the Guide, the College has expanded this requirement to students hired by Campus Safety and Security and Student Government Association's ACE Student Safety. (Effective immediately.) • Add iti onal tr aining for Campu s Safety and Security Dispatchers: We are partnering with Tess Cody (campus outreach coordinator from Crisis Intervention Services) to provide training to student dispatchers on best practices for serving students who call in distress. • New document tit le: To better reflect the document's scope and goals, the draft is renamed as Grinnell's Guide to Preventing, Reporting, and Responding to Sexual Harassment and Sexual Misconduct. In addition, the College maintains the Grinnell College Non-Discrimination Policy, attached as GC000132 and the Grinnell College Discrimination and Harassment Grievance Complaint Procedure (last revised 3/8/2015), attached as GC000133. The Non-Discrimination Policy and College Discrimination and Harassment Grievance Complaint Procedure apply to discrimination and harassment on all federally protected classes. They also apply to discrimination on the basis of sex that is not a form of harassment or violence. The umbrella Sexual Harassment and Sexual Misconduct Policy, as replaced by the Guide, has essentially been in place since the fall of 2013 . The policy has undergone annual revision in response to campus experiences, identified patterns and trends through review of cases and informal and formal climate assessment and surveys, feedback from participants and campus stakeholders, and evolving federal law and OCRguidance. Consistent with Grinnell's tenets of self-governance, student input and feedback has been central to continuing revisions. The 2013 Sexual Harassment and Sexual Misconduct Policy was developed as part of a proactive and comprehensive policy audit and assessment. At the end of Spring 2011-2012, in response to concerns raised by students, President Raynard Kington publicly announced that t he College would undergo full review of its policies, practices, and procedures related to sexual misconduct. The review was conducted by outside consultants and nat ional experts in the institutional response to sexual and gender-based harassment and violence, Gina Smith and Leslie Gomez, then of Ballard Spahr LLP, now of GRINNELL COLLEGE Title IX Grinnell , Iowa 50112 (641) 269 -4999 Pepper Hamilton LLP. The audit included campus conversations, as well as private interviews by Smith and Gomez with individuals who had been part of sexual misconduct proceedings during 2011-2012. A copy of the audit report is provided in response to Data Request #4. Among the results of the audit were: campus forums, th e formation of a president's Task Force, a student advisory committee, expanded campus train ing on Title IX, and the implementation of the 2013 Sexual Harassment and Sexual Misconduct Policy (rolled out for comment to students, faculty, staff, and alumni September 9, 2013 and imp lementation started October 29, 2013). There have been two major revisions since the September 2013 draft: August 21, 2014 and February 3, 2015, both of which are provided in this production. Although the review cycle for policies is typically in the summer, the 8/21/2014 Sexual Harassment and Sexual Misconduct Policy was changed mid-year (February 3, 2015) in response to specific and urgent concerns voiced by Grinnell students. The college is in the process of finalizing the next set of revisions for the 2015-2016 year. During the spring 2015, the Student Government Association (SGA)president convened a student working group to develop FAQs and discuss where improvements were needed to the Guide. In addition, the revised Guide will include revisions based on information gleaned from preliminary data from the College's recent sexual climate survey results which suggests that there is still some confusion about the student conduct process. The working group also suggested creating a Title IX Student Conduct Process Overview which is nearly complete. The revised Guide and conduct overview will be forwarded to OCR when complete. B. The College'sTitle IX Grievance Procedures The Guide includes the College's grievance procedure(s) for responding to a report and/or complaint of a violation of its Title IX policy . C. Written Materials Provided to Complainants at Time of Report In accordance with the initial assessment described in the Title IX Review and Assessment section of the Guide, a complainant and/or advocate who meets with the Title IX Coordinator or Deputy Title IX Coordinator for Case Management will be provided with a comprehensive and trauma-informed explanat ion of available resources, and procedural options. As part of the initia l assessment, the complainant will be notified of his/her/hir right to contact law enforcement and seek medical treatment; the importance of preservation of evidence; information about on- and off -campus resources; the range of interim accommodations and remedies available to him/her/hir; an explanation of the procedural options, including Informal Resolution and Formal Resolution; an explanation of the role of and offer an adviser, advocate, or support person; and an explanation of the College's policy prohibiting retaliation. The intake meeting will also include a discussion of the complainant's expressed preference for manner of resolution and any barriers to proceeding. GRINNELL COLLEGE Title IX Grinnell, Iowa 50112 (64 1) 269 -4999 This information is provided in accordance with the College's Tit le IX Intake Checklist, attached as GC000150. This document may be provided to a complainant who requests a copy, although it is typic ally an administrative document used by the Title IX Coordinator or Deputy Title IX Coordinator for Case Management to assure that all relevant information is discussed and explored with a complainant. The Title IX Coordinator or Deputy Title IX Coordinator for Case Ma nagement will also review OCR's Know Your Rights handout, attached as GC000153, and share copies of the College's Title IX Sexual Reporting Card, attached as GC000146, and Title IX Brochure, attached as GC000147. Other info rmational material provided to complainants and/or advocates at an intake meeting, or otherwise made available throughout the process, include the Grinnell College Student Conduct Process Outline, attached as GC000141, and the Sexual M isconduct Options for Students, attached as GC000149. Consistent with trauma-informed practices, the Title IX Coordinator or Deputy Title IX Coordinator follows the meeting with a written communication to the complainant summarizing the information discussed and providing written notice of rights and options. A sample template communication is attached as GC000142. D. Protocol Governing Police and Campus Investigations [To be provided in a future production] E. The College's Student Handbook(s) The College's 2014-2015 Student Handbook is attached as GC000225. The College's 2014-2015 Off Campus Study Handbook is attached as GC000155. The College's Int ernational Pre-Orientation Program (IPOP) Handbook (2015) is attached as GC000332. F. The College's Policy Prohibiting Retaliation The College's policy prohibiting retaliation is contained in the Guide: It is a violation of College policy to retaliate in any way against a student or employee because he/she/z i raised allegations of discrimination or harassment or participated in a Title IX process. The College recognizes that retaliation can take many forms, may be committed by or against an individual or a group, and that a Respondent or third party may also be the subject of retaliation by other individuals, includi ng the Complainant. An individual reporting harassment or discrimination is entitled to protection from any form of retaliation following a report that is made in good faith, even if the report is not later substant iated. Similarly, ind ividuals accused of discrimination or harassment or those who participate in an investigation related to a complaint GRINNELL COLLEGE Title IX Grinnell, Iowa 50112 (64 1) 269 -4999 are entitled to protection from any form of retaliation. Retaliation will not be tolerated and will be subject to College disciplinary procedures up to and including dismissal. Complaints of retaliation should be grieved the same way as complaints of discrimination or harassment, as defined in this policy. G. The College's Policy and Proceduresfor Student Discipline for Sexual Discrimination The Guide includes the College's policy and procedures for student discipline as it relates to discrimination based on sex or sexual harassment or assault. H. Protocol Governing How LongStudent SanctionsRemain in Effect Student sanctions and/or disciplinary consequences are arrived at individually after a careful and reasoned sanctioning process. Under the Guide, if the adjudicator finds a student or student group/organization responsible for a violation of the Sexual Harassment and Misconduct Policy, they will recommend appropriate educational outcomes to the Dean of Students (or designee). The educational outcomes may include, but are not limited to, those set forth in the Community Standards and Responsibilities Section of the Student Handbook, i.e., restitution fines, deferred finding of responsibility, conduct warning, conduct probation, behavioral expectat ions (including a campus nocontact order), parental and guardian notification, College-owned residence suspension, College-owned residence dismissal, suspension, or dismissal from the College, withholding of registration or degree, or rehabilitative measures decided by a College conduct body. The Dean of Students (or designee) is not bound by the recommendations of the adjudicator and has the final authority to impose appropriate educational outcomes . A violation of the Sexual Harassment and Misconduct Policy may result in suspension or dismissal. Educational outcomes may range from written warning to permanent separation (i.e., dismissal) from th e College. They may also include educational, remedia l, and/or corrective actions as warranted. In general : • Any student who is determined to have engaged in Non-consensual Sexual Intercourse may receive educationa l outcomes ranging from suspension to dismissal. • Any student who is determined to have engaged in Non-consensual Sexual Contact (where no intercourse has occurred) may receive educational outcomes ranging from conduct warning to dismissal. • Any student who is determined to have engaged in any other prohibited form of conduct may receive educational outcomes ranging fr om conduct warning to dismissal. GRINNELL COLLEGE Title IX Grinnell , Iowa 50112 (641) 269 -4999 The adjudicator and Dean of Students {or designee) reserve the right to broaden or lessen any range of recommended educational outcomes in the case of serious mitigating circumstances, contextual or historical aggravating circumstances, or egregiously offensive behavior. Neither the adjudicator, Dean of Students (or designee), nor any appeals officer will deviate from the range of recommended outcomes unless compelling justificati on exists to do so. Educational outcomes may be issued individually, or a combination of outcomes may be imposed . The determination of educational outcomes is based upon a number of factors, including but not limited to: t he severity of the incident; the impact on the Complainant; any ongoing risk to either the Complainant or the community posed by Respondent; the impact of the violation on the community, its members, or its property; any previous conduct violations; and any mitigating or aggravating circumstances. When imposed by the Dean of Students, an educational outcome will have a finite time limit {e.g., two semester suspension, one semester probation). Accompanying protective measures, such as no contact orders, may remain in effect indefinitely so long as both the complainant and respondent are actively enrolled at the College. Similarly, a no trespass order may remain in effect indefinitely. I. A List of all College Sponsored Publications [To be provided in a future production] II.

Sex discrimination, including any training covering sexual harassment and sexual violence; and b. How to respond to a Title IX complaint, including how to conduct a Title IX investigation. Include the date(s) the training was provided, the names and qualifications of the individuals who provided the training, a list of names and titles of the individuals who attended the training, and a copy of any materials distributed at the training. I. General Overview The College is committed to providing comprehensive and ongoing training to all community members regarding identifying and preventing sexual and gender-based harassment and violence, the College's policies and procedures, options for confidential support and other resources, on and off campus reporting options, and the consequences of violating Title IX. In addition, the College recognizes that Title IX requires all persons involved in implementing the College's grievance procedures (implementers) to have training or experience in responding to reports of sexual and gender-based harassment and violence, as well as in the College's grievance procedures. The College has implemented a robust approach to ensure that all implementers, including the Title IX Coordinator, others designated to receive complaints, investigators and adjudicators, have training and/or experience in responding to complaints of sexual and gender-based harassment and violence and in the College's grievance procedures. The College has designated all emp loyees, with the exception of those with statutory confidentiality, as responsible emp loyees and provides training for all responsible employees and others likely to witness or receive reports of sexual or gender-based harassment or vio lence. Finally, the College provides prevention and educational programming for all students, including bystander intervention training . The following narrative provides a detailed understanding of the approach Grinnell College has taken to create an environment that supports reporting of sexual misconduct, responds promptly and equitably to issues (individual and systemic) surround ing sexual misconduct and harassment, and helps prevent sexual misconduct. A spreadsheet to follow under separate cover outlines training and GRINNELL COLLEGE Title IX Grinnell , Iowa 50112 (64 l) 269-4999 education programs in greater detail. The spreadsheet lists the dates of training of key personnel, students, faculty, and staff; campus open forums and task force meetings. Accompanying the spreadsheet, the College plans to produce materials provided at its training and educational programs. II. Overview of the College's Training and Educational Programming for Employees The College has embraced the guidance provided in the April 4, 2011 Dear Colleague Letter (2011 DCL) and the April 29, 2014 Questions and Answers on Title IX and Sexual Violence (2014 Q&A) in order to meet our Title IX training and education obligations. As evidenced by this narrative, the attached spreadsheet and other supporting exhibits provided in response to this data request, the College has routinely updated training content to assure comprehensive and compliant training for all community members in accordance with the 2011 DCL,the 2014 Q&A, the Clery Act and the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013 (VAWA), as each was imp lemented or revised. A. 2012-2013 In the summer of 2012, the College engaged Gina Smith and Leslie Gomez, then of Ballard Spahr, LLP, to provide an external audit of the College's policies and procedures regard ing sexual harassment and sexual misconduct and to provide Title IX tra ining, consultation, and education to members of the Grinnell community. 1 Although the College had a current Title IX Coordinator at the time, Smith and Gomez recommended that the College restructure the Title IX Coordinator's role to effectively fulfill the oversight obligations required by Title IX. Smith and Gomez also recommended that the College "be proactively engaged in education and in the prevention of sexual violence," and focus its efforts on campus-wide tra ining of all community members, tra ining for employees and others in positions of authority, including first responders, and training for implementers. A copy of the report is provided at GC000392. As part of their engagement, in the fall of 2012, Smith and Gomez held all-campus plenary sessions and trained key personnel on Title IX responsibilities, see GC000470, GC000582. In November 2012, President Raynard Kington appointed Angela Voos, the President's Chief of Staff, as interim Title IX Coordinator. Ms. Voos has since been appointed to fill the role on a permanent, rather than interim, basis. During t he 2012-13 academic year, Ms. Voos im plemented a comprehensive and strategic approach to training the College community, including students, faculty, staff, alumni, and the Board of Trustees. To raise awareness about Title IX and individual and community responsibilities, Ms. Voos provided ongoing trainings dur ing the year through a series of in-person meetings organized by affinity groups which focused on student leaders, staff, and faculty. 1 Copies of Smith and Gomez's professional biographies are attached as GC000402 and GC000406. -2- GRINNELL COLLEGE Title IX Grinnell , Iowa 50112 (64 l) 269-4999 In order to help community members, including students and employees, feel comfortable coming forward to disclose sexual violence, Grinnell focused on assuring that "everyone knows who the Title IX Coordinator is." In support of this goal, the Title IX coordinator endeavored to be present on campus and to facilitate each of the trainings. In addition to the appointment of an interim Title IX Coordinator, President Kington also appointed a Task Force on Safety, Responsibility, and Prevention (Task Force) in November 2012. The primary objective of the Task Force, which is still in existence, is to propose a concrete program for the Grinnell campus to prevent sexual misconduct, alcohol abuse, and violence, all of which have been found to be closely correlated. The Task Force is a small group of ded icated individuals who rely heavily on the input of the community and an advisory committee 2 to understand the issues surrounding prevention of sexual misconduct and substance abuse, build on current prevention efforts, and implement new programmatic initiatives . Their work has continued each year. Among their first tasks was the development of a sexual climate survey which was administered in the Spring of 2013. The survey informed the content of subsequent trainings and educational programming. At the start of Spring semester 2013, Smith and Gomez returned to campus to train campus security officers, the College Hearing Board, first responders, Human Resources' staff, Posse Mentors 3, and residence life staff. Gomez and Smith also facilitated two Town Halls which were open to all campus members and the Grinnell community, see GC001628. In the winter of 2013, on-campus trainings of every staff member by the Title IX Coordinator began in earnest. To assure that all issues of sexual or gender-based harassment and violence were elevated to the Title IX Coordinator and the College's centralized process for resolution of reports, Grinnell assigned responsibility to every person whom a student or other community member might reasonably consider as an authority or leader -all staff and faculty and student leaders were designated as responsible employees. As a result, training as responsible employees was mandatory for all staff. The College began comprehensive training by focusing on groups with clear leadership positions on 2 In the first campus communication Grinnell called the advisory group a "work ing group," but to avert confusion with strategic planning working groups, later changed the name. Posseis a program that brings underprivileged students to Grinnell with a "cohort" of peers to facilitate success. Because the College learned that issues of sexual violence had impacted this small, and sometimes insular, community, the College provided targeted training to Posseas part of its efforts to eliminate sexual and gender -based harassment and violence, prevent their recurrence, and address their effects. Smith and Gomez also met with national leaders for Posse to assure their support of Grinnell's policies and training initiatives . 3 -3- GRINNELL COLLEGE Title IX Grinnell , Iowa 50112 (64 l) 269-4999 campus, includ ing Senior Staff'\ coaches and Student Advisors. Senior Staff members were assigned the task of assuring that every department over which they had supervisory authority made an appointment to meet with Ms. Voos to arrange for in-person training of the department. During the spring of 2013, every administrative department received train ing. This first wave of mandato ry trainings focused on understanding Title IX, their role as responsible employees, and Grinnell's shared community responsibility to connect complainants and others to resources and support. In addition, the College extended training opportunities to members of the broader Grinnell community. For example, the Board of Trustees was provided a one-hour training on Title IX. Similarly, the Alumni Council invited Ms. Voos to speak at the ir fall meeting. At trainings for responsible employees, participants were given a newly designed Title IX brochure and tear off resource card, see GC000412, GC000414, GC000416. These resources were created in response to faculty concerns about "what to say" to those who were repor ting incidents of misconduct. Since the first ite ration of the resource card, Grinnell has continued to revise the card to assure its effectiveness. Many other colleges have since contacted the Title IX Coordinator for permission to use the resource card on their campuses. Grinnell has freely given all of its resources to any college that requests guidance or assistance. B. 2013-2014 Comprehensive training of College employees continued in 2013-2014, with a focus on creating comfortable report ing environments, being familiar with the available resources on and off campus, and understanding the difference between privacy and statutory confidentiality. The tra inings were refined on an ongoing basis to respond to the issues and questions raised by participants over the course of the year. Training for employees likely to be first responders included a particular focus on Residence Life Coordinators (RLC),maste r's level Student Affairs professionals. In 2013-2014, the Dean of Students assigned sexual assault prevention as one of the RLCfocus areas.

OCR is also respon sible for enforc ing the Boy Scouts of America Equal Access Act of 2001 , which prohibit s the denial of equal access or a fair opportunity to meet to, or discrimination against, any group officially affiliated with the Boy Scout s of America , or officia lly affiliated with any other youth group listed in title 36 of the United States Code, by public elementary schools, public secondary schools, local educational agencies, or State educat ional agencies that have a designated open forum or limited public forum and that receive funds made available through the Department.

If you believe that you are being retaliated against, you may file a complaint with OCR.

No law requires anyone to give personal information to OCR and no formal sanctions will be imposed ,on cornplajnants or other persons who do not cooperate in providing information duringthe complaintinvestigationor resolutionprocess. However,if OCRis unableto obtainthe information necessary to investigate a complaint, we may have to close the complaint. The Privacy Act of 1974, S U.S.C. § 552a, and the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. § 552, govern the use of personal information that is submitted to all Federal agencies and their individual components, i'ncluding OCR. The Privacy Act of 1974 protects individuals from the misuse of personal information held by the ·Federal government. It applies to records that are maintained by the government that are retrieved by the individual's name, social security number, or other personal identifier. It regulates the collectio~ maintenance, use and dissemination of certain personal information in the files of Federal agencies. The information that OCR collects is analyzed by authorized personnel within the agency and will be used only for authorized civil rights compliance and enforcement activities. However, in order to investigate or resolve a complaint, OCR may need to reveal certain information to persons outside the agency to verify facts or gather additional information. Such details could include the age or physical condition of a complainant. Also, OCR may be required to reveal information requested under FOIA, which gives the public the right of access to records of Federal agencies. OCR will not release any information to any other agency or individual except in the one of the 11 instances defined in the Department's regulation at 34 C.F.R § 5b.9(b). OCR does not reveal the name or other identifying information about an individual unless it is necessary for completion of an investigation or for enforcement activities against an institution that violates the laws, or unless such information is required to be disclosed under the FOIA or the Privacy Act. OCR will keep the identity of complainants confidential except to the extent necessary to carry out the purposes of the civil rights Jaws, or unless disclosure is required under the FOIA, the Privacy Act or otherwise by law. FOIA gives the public the right of access to records and files of Federal agencies. Individuals may obtain items from many categories ofrecords of the Federal government, not just materials that apply to them personally. OCR must honor requests for records under FOIA, with some exceptions. Generally, OCR is not required to release documents during the case evaluation and investigation process or enforcement proceedings, if the releasecouldaffectthe abilityof OCR to do its job. 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(7)(A).Also, a Federalagencymay refusea requestfor recordsif theirreleasewouldresult in an unwarrantedinvasionof privacyof an individual. 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(6) and (7)(C).

But Grinnell does not live up to this tradition. In the following pages, we detail stories of rape, sexual assault, harassment, retaliation, and discrimination at Grinnell that have created a learning environment that is both unfair and unsafe. We describe efforts to request basic compliance with Title IX law, such as basic accommodations, that have not been met. In the past year, student activists have called attention to the school's non-compliance with the current laws of Title IX and the "Dear Colleague Letter," and in doing so, retaliation and a culture of hostility toward survivors and whistle blowers have arisen. While ~ painted as hysterics, and their rights violated time and time again. Despite student demand to comply with Title IX and the Jeanne Clery Act, and direct requests to the administration from dedicated students, real change has not occurred, and the college remains in violation of federal law. 1 The nationally documented pervasive culture of sexual assault and rape at Grinnell College constitutes a violation of the environment students are entitled to under Title IX. Challenging long-standing cultural myth of the fraternity as the common locus for campus rape, Grinnell was ranked second in the country for sexual offences by the Washington Post with no Greek system whatsoever. In this article, Grinnell's President, Raynard Kington, states: "If anything, this is evidence we are doing a better job, creating a supportive environment, where more people feel more comfortable 2 reporting." Yet, the reality is that there is no evidence that the colle e took an action to af (b)(6); (b)(7(C) (b)(6); (bX7(C) 6 (bX ) ; (b)(?(C) phis 1s compounded by the irresponsiblity (sic) of the Grinnell Counseling Center whose actions are tantamount to a bfatant violation of professional ethics."3 What you will find in the statements below is evidence that Grinnell College, in its generalized language of "sexual misconduct," consistently treats sexual assault, rape and sodomy as nothing more than "forcible fondling if unwanted 4 groping occurs on a dance floor." Cases have been consistently mishandled, with little or no action taken against assailants. There have been profoundly uneven outcomes, with few of those found responsible ever suspended, much less ex elled. (b)(6); (b)(7(C) Grinnell has fostered a hostile learning environment through decisions that discourage reporting and show deliberate indifference in the face of staggering reports of sexual misconduct. Individually and collectively, these actions and inactions constitute a discriminatory environment in violation of federal law. T\j(b)(6); (bX7(C) (b)(6) ; (b)(7(C) I r X6); (b)(7(C) All those filing were wrongfully hurt. When they went to the college for help, their experiences were not taken seriously, and they were dissuaded from filing, betrayed by campus administrators, and re~ victimized. Students are told their accommodations have expired while their perpetrators remain enrolled, lurking in dorms and hallways, sometimes stalking, sometimes threatening, or having friends threaten. Sometimes the few "educational outcomes" that are mandated are not even followed, and there is no oversight by the college. Indeed, the administration rewards perpetrators with paid college positions. The accounts of these individuals will illustrate Grinnell College's violations of Title IX of the Education Amendments of I 972, the 20 I0, 20 I I, and 2013 "Dear Colleague Letters," and the Campus Sexual Assault Victims' Bill of Rights, and The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act. In regards to Title IX of the Education Amendments of I 972, Grinnell College is the recipient of federal funding through provision of Financial Aid funds. We will show that the discrimination and harassment is severe, pervasive, and that objectively offensive harassment occurred. Grinnell College consistently creates a hostile environment for survivors. Retaliation is common, coming from other students, faculty, and even the Title IX Coordinator directly. On multiple occasions this abuse and harassment has denied students educational opportunities through an unsafe living and learning environment, primarily for female students. This inequitable environment has materially harmed the educational progress of certain students: from lower grades to graduating early (to "get away") to dropping out altogether. Students who have stayed have been trapped in a sixblock radius with their assailants-assailants who bully them out of classes, intimidate them by showing up to public performances, and openly speak of threats to do harm in Grinnell College events and on Grinnell property, in front of other students. The college administration has actual knowledge of the harassment, and the institution's response has been deliberately indifferent in ways that have caused student sufferin .
