Lots of sexual harassment at U.S. colleges

In more good news about the quality of higher education in the U.S., the AAUW reports a study that says that 62% of college students have faced some sort of sexual harassment and 32% say they were victims of physical harrassment.

It's always nice to see another story about the healthy lives of undergraduates!

It is news only because the AAUW is trying to draw attention to it.

I think that the idea is to remind the public that there are more significant problems of harrassment on college campuses than that of supposedly agenda-pushing professors.

There is no overt mention of the right-wing attacks on harrassment by "liberal" professors, but we should keep this context in mind.

Isn't it better to see this story in the headlines, rather than another Ward Churchill one?
