DOJ Report On Assaults At University Of Montana
Department of Justice attorneys sang the University of Montana’s praises Thursday for its efforts to address problems surrounding sexual assault, even as DOJ documents painted a damning picture of how assault cases involving UM students all too often were handled.
Women at UM who reported being sexually assaulted or harassed “were unfairly belittled, disbelieved or blamed for speaking up about what had been done to them,” Roy L. Austin Jr., deputy assistant attorney general for the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division, said Thursday.
There was a failure to respond to reports of sexual assault and that its policies and training related to sexual assault response are insufficient and, until recently, nonexistent.”
Among the findings listed in the letter:
• Campus police officers appeared unaware of all the resources available to victims of sexual assault, failing “to consistently offer women information about these resources.”
Women everywhere are faced with the possibility of sexual assaults at any time, any place. You would think on a college campus that is safer. Wrong! College campuses present nearly a 30% chance of a young woman being sexually assaulted in her time at school
The best way that she can avoid that is to get a self-defense product such as a pepper spray or a stun gun. We actually recommend pepper sprays, especially ones that are on a KEYCHAIN because they will be with you all the time.

Both administrators and students are taking action to increase awareness of campus safety issues, including sexual assault and abduction.
Nearly 25% of all women who attend a University will be sexually assaulted in her four years there. To me that’s a shocking figure.

There are lots of reasons for that but are just too complicated to explain here.

In 2010, students at Sacramento State could find media releases from the Sacramento State Police Department warning students about sexual assaults that had happened on campus.

“As defined by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, sexual assault and abuse can be verbal, visual or anything that forces a person to join in unwanted sexual contact or attention.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control conducted a survey with 5,000 students at more than 100 college campuses, and found out of those women surveyed, 20 percent had been forced to submit to sexual intercourse against their will.”
That number may actually be low. Several studies show that as many as 25% have been sexually assaulted. The scary part is that only one out of every 10 assaults ever gets reported.
