Collects documents from Department of Education OCR Title IX investigation. Campus Context: “An alleged victim of sexual assault wrote an open letter to the chancellor in April 2015 about what she saw as an inadequate response by the institution. She said the student she accused of assault was found responsible and dismissed but later allowed to re-enroll.

Students at the university have promoted an “It’s on Us” campaign to prevent sexual assault. The institution has affirmed its commitment to victims of sexual assault, collected resources online, hosted Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. as part of the White House's "It's on Us" campaign, and conducted a climate survey in the fall of 2015 after declining to participate in one administered by the Association of American Universities. The university system has formed a task force. The institution has a longstanding acquaintance-rape-prevention program.

A student accused of drugging and sexually assaulting at least four women in California was arrested in Champaign in September 2015."
