The all-uni survey will collect data on student experience of sexual assault and harassment and run to October 3. It’s a project of Universities Australia, designed by Anastasia Powell (RMIT) and managed by the admirable Social Research Centre (which conducts QILT).

UA is anxious to discourage comparisons between this survey’s results, whatever they might be, and those in its 2016 predecessor. “Due to a change in methodology, the prevalence rate arising out of the 2021 survey cannot be directly comparable,” a point UA also made in two previous announcements (CMM May 26 and August 17).
