The reasons for conducting a campus climate survey have become more convincing than ever. And it's not just the pressure from student activists and the media. Many colleges and universities lack objective data needed to shape effective campus response and programming to address sexual assault, dating violence, and gender‐based stalking. The federal government said campus climate surveys are a critical tool for limiting the effects of sexual violence and reducing its reoccurrence. The Office for Civil Rights frequently includes campus climate surveys in its agreements. And some states now require campus climate surveys, including Maryland, New York, Louisiana, and Massachusetts.
