IS YALE More Dangerous Than Detroit? Or is Yale’s Sex Assault Report a Fabrication? You Decide.
To read Yale University’s latest report on its sexual assault investigations, one might think the school is a hotbed of sexual violence against female undergraduates. The report from Yale’s Deputy Provost for Health Affairs & Academic Integrity, Stephanie Spangler, shows that 50 undergraduate females reported being sexually assaulted in the first six months of 2018. With a female undergraduate population of around 2,700, that means that roughly 1.85% have been sexually assaulted. That’s a violent crime rate around twice as high as that of Detroit, which the FBI rates as the nation’s most dangerous city. Spangler seems almost excited about the numbers, but as always with the Spangler Report, the details don’t match the apocalyptic topline. Spangler notes that the university “uses a more expansive definition of sexual assault” than does either Connecticut state law or the federal government (through Clery Act requirements). The university has never offered an explanation as to why it does so. Minding the Campus has broken down each of the previous Spangler documents.
