OOC 3 Preview

According to a White House Task Force report, one in five women will be sexually assaulted in college. In response the White House has instituted the "It's On Us" campaign in an effort to raise awareness and end sexual assault on college campuses. Earlier this year it was announced that Michigan State University is currently undergoing a Title XI review by the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights. Since then, Michigan State has overwhelmingly adopted the "It's On Us" campaign. Furthermore the Associated Students of Michigan State University, or ASMSU, recently adopted the campaign following a November meeting. ASMSU is the student governing body for the student population on campus so the fact that the campaign has a strong voice among it's student population is a welcoming sign. However it remains to be seen if the "It's On Us" campaign being adopted by the student government will have any profound impact on either it's mission or sexual assault at MSU.
