“Sexual assault on campus is a national crisis. One in five college women will be sexually ass

“Sexual assault on campus is a national crisis. One in five college women will be sexually assaulted before graduation, and 92 colleges are under investigation by the federal government for mishandling reports of campus rape.The Princeton Review, the go-to guide for students applying to college, refuses to include information about how schools handle sexual assault. Prospective students and their parents have no way to know which schools are effective at preventing rape on their campuses and which are looking the other way – or worse, contributing to the problem.The Princeton Review must take action and do its part to stop this national epidemic.The Princeton Review uses an in-depth, 80-question student survey to grade schools on everything from quality of life to class size to fire safety. Students are asked everything from how much time they spend studying, to how good the food is, to how easy it is to get around campus, but there are no questions about campus sexual assault.If the Princeton Review starts including information on campuses’ sexual assault track records, the public statistics and public accountability will help pressure colleges across the country to get serious about the epidemic of campus rape. It would be simple for the Princeton Review to ask a few basic questions of students and rank schools on both the prevalence of sexual assault and their response to it. But they won’t do it unless we demand it.Help generate enough public pressure and media attention to convince the Princeton Review to do the right thing.”I’m in! I usually don’t share petitions because there are so many of them, but I make exceptions where I think there’s an enormous stake and a real chance for change, like with Leelah’s Law and this campaign putting pressure on The Princeton Review.Sign the petition here (Signing the petition will add you to the Credo action alert list.
