How colleges vary in reports of sex assault and other sex offenses A Washington Post analysis of federal crime data showed 55 percent of about 1,570 colleges and universities with 1,000 or more students received at least one report of a forcible sex offense on campus in 2012. The flip side of the finding: 45 percent of those schools reported no forcible sex offenses on campus at all. (The Washington Post)
