Stanford University administered a campus climate survey in the spring of 2015, encouraging all undergraduate and graduate students to participate and provide their perspectives. The survey asked students about their perceptions of campus community, culture and safety as well as their experiences with prohibited sexual conduct.
Results of the survey were issued in fall 2015. Links to the survey report and related information are provided below. Stanford will use the findings of the survey to continue improving education, prevention, support and adjudication as part of its ongoing effort to achieve a campus environment free of sexual assault and misconduct.
Feedback may be provided to climate-survey@stanford.edu.
