The voluntary survey was sent to all of the more than 19,000 undergraduate and graduate students enrolled on the Athens campus, and it was completed by 6.9 percent, or 1,350 students.  Eleven percent or 2,139 completed some portion of the survey.
Of those students, 82 percent indicated they had experienced some kind of sexual misconduct while at Ohio University, ranging from unwelcome verbal comments containing inappropriate or offensive sexual content to rape.
Of those students, 74 percent reported experiencing sexual harassment by other students. Of the 280 graduate students responding to the survey, 8.2 percent reported having experienced unwanted sexual advances by faculty and staff.
