On March 25, the Chancellor’s Task Force on Sexual and Relationship Violence launched the Sexual and Relationship Violence Survey. The Office of Institutional Research administers this anonymous survey to a random group of undergraduate, graduate and law students every two years.
Survey results will inform services, programs and awareness efforts to help prevent and respond to sexual and relationship violence. Students who receive this anonymous survey in their 鶹ƵUniversity emails (@syr.edu) are encouraged to complete it and by doing so, help the University gain a comprehensive understanding of the student experience.
“Regardless of their experience, when students take the 10-15 minutes to answer the survey, it allows the University to better understand the scope and prevalence of sexual and relationship violence at 鶹ƵUniversity and respond with relevant resources,” shares , co-chair of the survey assessment committee, S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications professor and Lerner Center for Public Health Promotion and Population Health senior research associate. “Participating in this survey is one way that 鶹ƵUniversity students can help, and in my experience, this is an issue that students care deeply about addressing and doing what they can to help.”
The Chancellor’s Task Force on Sexual and Relationship Violence is comprised of dedicated students, faculty, staff and more, that work to bolster the University’s efforts in sexual violence prevention, education and advocacy services. By allowing students to anonymously share feedback, the Sexual and Relationship Violence Survey further supports these efforts through the representation of student voices.
“It is important for the task force to hear different voices and use the survey findings to make decisions about campus resource allocation and service provision,” shares , Barnes Center at The Arch assistant director of health analytics and survey assessment committee member. “We urge everyone who receives the email to participate and contribute to its lasting positive impacts.”
Results of the survey will continue to be used across the campus community to strengthen student experiences, improve campus climate and enhance programs and services.
