Students who are members of racial, sexual, or gender minority groups are more likely to be assaulted. And students who believe their colleges are inclusive and tolerant of sexual and gender minority individuals are less likely to be victims of assault. These findings come courtesy of two complementary studies published in the Journal of Interpersonal Violence and Prevention Science .
