Some questions may not have been applicable to participants who indicated “N/A” and those questions were not calculated in the results.

About 62% stated that did not feel that Northern believed their report or allowed them to have a say in how the report would be handled. Over half of the participants, on average, indicated that Northern ensured they were treated as an important member of the institution, met their needs for support and accommodations, created an environment where it was safe to discuss, and created an environment where this type of experience was recognized as a problem. Participants were also asked additional questions about how Northern played a role in their experience of sexual misconduct. Of the participants who completed these questions, 22% indicated that Northern is not doing enough to prevent this type of experience, made it difficult to report and created an environment where it would be difficult to stay at Northern. About 20% indicated Northern creates an environment in which these types of experiences seemed common or normal and 17% indicated that they believe Northern covers up the experience.
