Although the outcry over sexual assault on college campuses has intensified recently, the issue has a long history. February 1957: One of the first published studies about campus sexual assault, “Male Sex Aggression on a University Campus” appears in the American Sociological Review (Vol. 22, No. 1, pp. 52-58). 1975: The term “date rape” is coined by Susan Brownmiller in reference to a dating situation in which “an aggressor may press his advantage to the point where pleasantness quickly turns to unpleasantness and more than the woman bargained for.” (Women’s Studies Encyclopedia, Vol. 1, page 337, Greenwood Publishing Group.)
