How can you determine that is high? It is not as though that means 100% of the women at 11% of universities reported being raped. It depends on how many reports there were on those 11% of campuses. Bear in mind that 11% of schools represents a female student population in the hundreds, or at least tens, of thousands. Meanwhile, 89% of campuses had no reports at all.

It's not something I can really quantify I guess. I don't have a scale where I would determine something like what percentages are high vs. low. And yeah, I understand that it the university would be counted with a single report; I figure that the majority of the schools counted do in fact have a single report for the year. That's a lot. It's a lot of instances of rape in what should be one of our most cherished and protected institutions. And I would just define 'a lot' as far more than I would expect to see if everything were going as it should.

I'm not saying it's some 'rape culture' nonsense. Most often it's some fucking black asshole who got in on a sports scholarship and thinks it's entitled to act as it pleases because it's typically free from punishment. That's part of the whole "not protecting it" bit I mentioned.
