College offers the promise of an education, new friends, new experiences. And when parents drop their children off at their new dorms, they are trusting those universities with the wellbeing of their kids. The dark reality is in many cases this trust is woefully misplaced. Mr. Speaker, approximately one in five women are sexually assaulted in college. Thats one out of every five of our daughters, sisters and friends. This shocking statistic would lead most people to assume that colleges have extensive protection to support those peopl
