The Committee for Integrity at Appalachian State University (CIA)
has been on the radar recently due to a national organization’s
interest in the results of the Sexual Victimization of Women at
Appalachian survey.
The survey, completed last spring by the CIA,
reported 394 women, or one out of every 18, are raped during a four-year
period at Appalachian, with a total of 1,679 rapes or attempted
rapes, roughly one out of every 7 women. According to the survey,
numbers match national results.
