Campus Climate Survey and Annual Data Reporting
SDSU's Campus Climate Survey on Sexual Assault and Sexual Misconduct
History
Following recommendations from the White House Task Force to Protect Students from Sexual Assault (2014), an anonymous survey was first developed in 2015 that included questions about sexual assault/violence on or near campus, attitudes about sexually related violence, inclination to intervene/help in response to sexual violence, and awareness of sexual violence related services and policies. SDSU continues to adminster this survey, with the next administration scheduled for Spring 2022. Results from these surveys provide a valuable resource to help SDSU better assess and address the problem of sexual violence at SDSU.

Pass the word along -- The Sexual Violence Campus Climate Survey launched on Monday, April 4, 2022! Designed
in collaboration with the SDSU Sexual Violence Task Force and Campus Climate Survey
Committee, the goals of the 2022 survey are to provide information about the prevalence
of sexual violence and relationship violence on campus, students’ knowledge about
reporting policies and resources for survivors, and students’ attitudes related to
sexual violence and relationship violence. Results from this survey will be used to
further develop prevention and intervention programming aimed at ending sexual violence
and relationship violence in the SDSU community.
Participants have a chance to enter a drawing for a set of Apple AirPods Pro! Additionally, those who are first to complete the survey will each receive a $10 gift card to Trader Joe's (limited quantities). For more information, see the survey link in your email, sent on April 4.
Frequently Asked Questions - The 2022 Survey
Although all students are sent invitations via their SDSU-provided email addresses, once the data are collected, all personally identifying information (including email addresses provided to claim incentives) will be removed from the data before it is analyzed for the final report. Responses will not be able to be linked back to the individual. Only depersonalized, aggregate (group-level) data will be analyzed for the final report.
SDSU has contracted with the Social Science Research Lab to distribute the survey. The lab has been involved with this project since 2015.
