About This Resource
From 2011 through 2015, UE received notice of approximately 1,000 higher education incidents in which a student allegedly was a victim of campus sexual assault. Although many of these matters never developed, a minority of claims incurred significant losses (settlements, verdicts, and/or defense costs) averaging nearly $350,000 each, with a few resulting in losses exceeding $1 million. This publication reviews the recurring factors in those losses, as well as other findings, and UE’s recommendations.
