Texas A&M Encourages Students To ‘Take The Survey’ To Help Fight Sexual Misconduct

Texas A&M University students have an opportunity this month to help university leadership gain a better understanding of each student’s experiences and opinions about sexual harassment and sexual violence within the campus community.

“Take the Survey” asks students to check their tamu.edu email inbox today for a message containing a link to a voluntary, confidential campus climate survey. Students are able to take the survey today through Saturday, March 2, 2019.

“Aggie student voices captured through this survey will help shape future policies, practices, and services at Texas A&M.  Good participation in the survey over the next month is critical in order to be successful,” Dr. Cynthia L. Hernandez, associate vice president for Student Affairs at Texas A&M said. “I encourage every Texas A&M student to consider completing the survey to help make our campus a safer and more inclusive place to learn.”

This research has been reviewed and approved by the Texas A&M Institutional Review Board (IRB).

Westat, a social science research firm, will administer the survey. Questions about the survey can be directed to Westat through campusclimatehelp@westat.com or 855-793-5234.

Questions regarding about Texas A&M’s reporting procedures and policies or support resources related to sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, stalking, and related retaliation are available online at TitleIX.tamu.edu. Questions can also be directed to Title IX Coordinator Jennifer Smith at TitleIX.Coordinator@tamu.edu.

Sexual assault and misconduct are issues that continue to impact colleges and universities across the country. It is up to students, faculty and staff to Step In as active participants and Stand Up to end sexual harassment and sexual violence in the Texas A&M community.
