‘Explicit’ survey on sex assault leaves college students feeling victimized

A survey being conducted at nearly 30 major universities to gauge the true scope of sexual abuse in college is so rife with “explicit” language that it is “opening wounds” and “triggering” flashbacks in the students who take it, critics say.

Some students were so shocked by the language and descriptions — which include the words “penetration,” “oral sex,” and “sexual touching,” — they had to immediately stop answering questions and told their friends not to participate.

“There’s a line between collecting statistical information and treating students as a number,” said University of Michigan student Hannah Crisler, who is also the campaign director for “I Will” — a program fighting to promote awareness on the issue to end sexual violence. “I personally become uncomfortable with the questions that were being asked and stopped participating. Several of my friends were also uncomfortable or re-triggered by taking the survey as well.”
