INTRODUCTIONNotre Dame is committed to eliminating sexual harassment and sexual violence. Fall 2018 marked the fourthadministration of the Sexual Conduct and Campus Climate Questionnaire. The 2018 instrument was designedwith the purpose of assessing the knowledge, perceptions, and experience of Notre Dame students in relation tosexual assault, other sexual misconduct, dating or domestic violence, stalking, and other conduct that creates asexually hostile environment. Instrument updates included questions to assess students’ satisfaction withaspects of the new Alternative Resolution Process. The Office of Strategic Planning & Institutional Researchadministered the questionnaire between November 5, 2018 and November 29, 2018.All degree‐seeking undergraduate and post‐baccalaureate students (12,376) who were currently enrolled (on‐campus or through a study abroad program) were invited to participate in the questionnaire with a 44%response rate overall.TABLE 1: University of Notre Dame Student and Response Rate Demographics12376Started - Atleast ClassUndergraduatePostbaccMaleFemaleFirst YearsSophomoresJuniorsSeniors or 5thyearGraduateBusinessLawMaster's 26068847%38%41%48%57%49%44%39%37%33%40%The possibility of non‐response bias exists as students self‐selected to participate in the questionnaire.However, the patterns of response and non‐response, when examined by student level, gender, and residencestatus, are similar to patterns repeatedly seen with other surveys administered to the Notre Dame community.In general, non‐respondents to surveys tend to be people who do not have strong feelings about or experiencewith the phenomena under study. It is a reasonable assumption that survey participation is more likely fromthose who feel strongly one way or the other on issues related to sexual climate.N information is provided in specific tables to provide context when a branching question determined if astudent would be asked a question or when breaking down information by demographic or role in the process.2018 Sexual Conduct and Campus Climate Questionnaire Report2

COMMUNITY CLIMATEThe following table provides information about perceptions of the Notre Dame student community tolerance forbehavior related to sexual assault, other sexual misconduct, dating, domestic violence, and stalking.Student perception that behavior is not tolerated within the Notre Dame student community was consistentrelated to sexual assault (80%), dating or domestic violence (84%), and stalking (83%). However, only 61% ofstudents reported other sexual misconduct is not tolerated. Students commented that non‐consensual sexualcontact (e.g., touching while participating in large public events and dances), a component of other sexualmisconduct behavior, happens frequently, but its perceived impact is minimized both at Notre Dame andgenerally in our society. These results are consistent with the 2016 survey results.TABLE 8: Perception of Community Tolerance of BehaviorsSexual assaultOther sexualmisconductDating ordomestic ated61%32%7%80%84%83%16%14%14%3%2%3%The table below provides information about student perspectives on campus climate at the University of NotreDame. 91% of students agree (57%) or somewhat agree (34%) students at Notre Dame respect oneanother’s personal space.94% of students agree (77%) or somewhat agree (17%) most Notre Dame students would respectsomeone who did something to prevent sexual assault.91% of students agree (67%) or somewhat agree (24%) they are aware of strategies to intervene if asituation had the potential for sexual assault.93% of students agree (79%) or somewhat agree (14%) they would trust their friends to watch outfor them.94% of students agree (75%) or somewhat agree (19%) they feel confident in their ability to judge ifsomeone is too intoxicated to give consent to sexual activity.2018 Sexual Conduct and Campus Climate Questionnaire Report5
