One in 6 Aussie uni students say they have been sexually harassed according to a major national study of nearly 44,000 students across 39 universities. Out of those who had been sexually assaulted, 2 in 3 knew the perpetrator, one in 20 made a complaint, and a quarter sought support. Students most likely to be assaulted were young women who are living on campus, have a disability or were LGBT-identifing, while more than 85% of perpetrators were male. And a quarter of the incidents happened at uni-related events, and another quarter occured at student accommodation, the study found. It follows a 2016 survey commissioned by the Australian Human Rights Commission that revealed a high rate of harassment on campus – and critics now say the university administrators have failed to act. Head of Universities Australia John Dewar apologised to students and committed to doing more to bring change.
