Sexual assault on college campuses is a major issue in America. In fact, one in five women report being sexually assaulted at least once before age 25.
When you add in the estimated 35 percent of rapes that go unreported, it stands to reason that the true number of college campus assaults is even higher. While some try to pin the blame on what victims were wearing or how much they had to drink, rape is not about uncontrolled sexual urge and it certainly is no one's fault but the assailant's. It is a power play meant to demean and belittle victims.
Which is exactly what makes the reports coming out of the University of Missouri so disturbing. There, members of the Delta Upsilon fraternity have been accused of giving pledges date rape drugs to incapacitate and sexually assault women.
