10 2022 ARC3 SURVEY FINDINGS 7. The most common occurrence of victimization of sexual misconduct involved students reporting “Taking advantage of me when I was too drunk or out of it to stop what was happening.” Efforts should be made to help students understand the common connection of alcohol and drug use in cases of sexual misconduct. 8. 47% of respondents disagreed or strongly disagree that Northern has “Create[ed] an environment where this type of experience was recognized as a problem” Efforts should be made to more frequently communicate our opposition to sexual violence. This topic is one that often makes people uncomfortable; however, efforts should be made to purposely discuss these topics in co-curricular and curricular activities. 9. The majority of survey participants did not tell anyone about the incident before this questionnaire (73%). Of the 27% who did tell someone, the majority told a close friend other than a roommate (22%) or a roommate (17%). This further highlights the importance of training students on resources and building a culture of bystander intervention. Northern cannot support students we do not know need support. 10. This report and subsequent reports should be placed on Northern’s public website for maximum transparency and accessibility.
