Obama to Create Task Force on Campus Sexual Assaults

WASHINGTON — President Obama on Wednesday reviewed his administration’s
efforts to combat sexual assault, including in the military, and planned to
order a new task force focused on sexual assault on college campuses. He
summoned his cabinet and senior advisers for a meeting at the White House
to underscore the significance of the issue.

At the meeting, Mr. Obama was expected to sign a presidential memorandum
creating the task force, and to receive a report from the White House
Council on Women and Girls titled “Rape and Sexual Assault: A Renewed Call
to Action<https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/1008370-white-house-sexual-assault-report.html>.”
The report says that one in five college students are sexually assaulted,
but just 12 percent of those victims report the violence.

While both the administration and the news media have paid greater
attention recently to sexual assaults in the military, rape is most common
on college campuses, according to the council’s report. The problem, it
says, is exacerbated by students’ alcohol and drug use.

According to the White House, Mr. Obama will give the new task force 90
days to recommend actions that colleges and universities can take to
prevent rape and sexual assault and to respond to allegations. It will also
be charged with proposing ways to raise awareness of schools’ records on
the matter, and to get federal agencies involved when institutions at which
sexual assaults are occurring do not address the problems.

Last month, Mr. Obama gave the Pentagon a year to address a wave of sexual
assaults in the military and to show improvement.
