Most college students would support the idea of gender equality, though the latest trend towards 'equalizing' is a dubious distinction.

A recent study revealed that nearly as many male as female college students experience sexual harassment. Even more surprising: nearly two thirds of college students can expect to experience sexual harassment during their college years.

The study, entitled "Drawing the Line," details the responses provided by college students nationwide, in a 2005 survey.

From the American Association of University Women: Nearly two-thirds of college students experience sexual harassment at some point during college, including nearly one-third of first year students, according to the AAUW Educational Foundation's newest research report on campus sexual harassment.

Drawing the Line: Sexual Harassment on Campus describes the findings from a nationally representative survey of undergraduate college students conducted in the Spring of 2005. This survey was conducted by Harris Interactive, Inc. This report contributes to our understanding of how college students perceive, experience and respond to sexual harassment and provides useful information for creating a campus climate that is free from bias and harassment.

The site also provides all sorts of helpful materials to help you discuss the issue on your campus.
