Sexual Misconduct Climate Survey
A sexual misconduct climate survey with a series of standard base questions was distributed to all undergraduate and graduate students in the state of New Hampshire as a required component of a new law aimed at addressing campus sexual misconduct. Spring 2022 was the first time it was conducted, and the results will be an important component in the university’s ongoing work to prevent and respond to all forms of sexual misconduct and interpersonal violence. The following survey and responses are specific to UNH Franklin Pierce Law School.
Every allegation of sexual misconduct is disturbing. When reviewing the summary findings, please note that the definition of sexual misconduct as it relates to this survey is quite broad, so it is important to read the survey questions and responses in their entirety to best understand the results. For example, one of the findings was that 52% of participants reported experiencing at least one incident of sexual harassment by another student. That is an alarming statistic. The actual question, however, provides context and shows that some of the 52% is made up of students who checked yes to the following: a student treated me differently because of my sex or gender identity, a student made offensive sexist remarks, a student was condescending to me because of my sex or gender identity, etc.
Working to prevent and respond to all forms of sexual misconduct and interpersonal violence is an ongoing commitment at UNH. Learn more about Our 22 concrete steps to do so as well as their status and timeline for completion.
