But don't diminish from the fact that reports of sexual assault and harassment are increasing on a lot of college campuses. A righteous wave of justice, maybe not, but a wave in confidence that genuine cases of sexual assault will be taken seriously, I think so. This is as good as anecdotal since it's just three universities, but here's an excerpt from a recent memo: This isn't to disprove anything you're saying about why kids are banging less, but just to check on your statement that change in XYZ factors reflecting sexual assault on college campuses isn't making a noted movement in the "right" direction.Where things get a little more hand-wavey is when we start pretending that there's been some righteous wave of justice.
DOD’s Annual Report on Sexual Harassment and Violence at the Military Service Academies cited an increase in sexual assault reports at all three of the nation’s service academies, the greatest of which was at West Point, which went from 26 reports in 2015-2016, to 50 this last academic year. Superintendent Lt. Gen. Robert L. Caslen Jr. points to the increase as evidence that steps taken by the academy to encourage reporting are working.
