More than a dozen of the nation's top research universities have declined an offer by the Association of American Universities to anonymously survey their students about the prevalence of sexual assault on campus. Fifteen of the AAU’s 60 U.S. members told Inside Higher Ed on Monday that they had decided against participating in the association’s survey project, which some victims’ advocates and sexual violence researchers had criticized. The universities gave various reasons for not participating, and several said that they would be designing and conducting their own surveys.
