Researchers at UNB in Fredericton have released results of the Sexual Assault Climate Survey which was completed by more than 1,200 students.
It reveals 21 per cent of students who were surveyed reported they had been sexually assaulted since becoming a student at UNB in Fredericton. According to the researchers, those results are consistent with earlier surveys conducted at other universities.
34 per cent of those surveyed also say they had experienced some type of nonconsensual sexual activity before coming to UNB.
The findings show most students feel safe on campus but more than half say they wouldn’t know how to get help from the university if they were sexually assaulted.
