项目摘要

The incidence and impact of sexual assault on college students produce profound effects, resulting in lower grades, higher dropout rates, higher rates of depression, drug use, and suicide attempts. Colleges and universities that receive federal funding are required to ensure equal educational opportunities, which include preventing and addressing sexual assault, harassment, and discrimination. To enforce this mandate, some states have passed laws that detail how their colleges define sexual consent. They are manifest in policies, rules, and training sessions for those on campus. This project will analyze the laws, policies, and practices that concern sexual behavior on college campuses as well as perceptions and understanding of sexual consent and assault.This project will examine how laws and policies affect college students’ understanding of sexual consent and related behaviors, as well as their reporting decisions for sexual assault. It will employ qualitative interviews of a large sample of undergraduate students, as well as archival research of primary source documents, in a matched campus design across several colleges and states. The project will ascertain students’ understanding of issues related to sexual consent, how consent was or was not achieved in their own sexual encounters, and how they understand campus processes designed to investigate and punish those who do not comply with campus rules about sexual assault. The research products will contribute to a variety of disciplines concerning the study of law and organizations, will examine how uniform law is enacted and enforced at different organizations in the field of higher education across different states, and will inform policy debates about sexual assault, training, and responses.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

性侵犯对大学生的事件和影响会产生深远的影响，导致较低的辍学率，较高的抑郁症，吸毒和自杀尝试。需要获得联邦资金的学院和大学必须确保平等的教育机会，包括预防和解决性侵犯，骚扰和歧视。为了执行这项任务，一些州已通过了法律，详细说明了其大学如何定义性同意。它们在校园里的人们的政策，规则和培训课程中表现出来。该项目将分析涉及大学校园性行为的法律，政策和实践，以及对性同意和攻击的看法和理解。该项目将研究法律和政策如何影响大学生对性同意和相关行为的理解，以及对性侵犯的报告决定。它将在几所大学和州的匹配校园设计中对大量本科生的定性采访以及对主要资源文件的档案研究。该项目将确定学生对与性同意有关的问题的理解，在自己的性交中的同意或未实现的方式以及他们如何理解旨在调查和惩罚不遵守校园有关性侵犯规则的人的校园过程。研究产品将为有关法律和组织研究的各种学科做出贡献，将研究如何在跨不同州的高等教育领域的不同组织中制定和执行统一的法律，并将为有关性侵犯，培训和回应的政策辩论提供依据。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过评估范围来审查范围，并通过评估范围进行了评估，并具有基础的范围。
