REPORTS  OF  STUDENT-­‐ON-­‐STUDENT  SEXUAL  ASSAULTS  —  2011–2014   The  charts  below  contain  data  on  the  number  of  reports  made  to  the  University  of  Tennessee,  Knoxville,  concerning   sexual  assaults  committed  against  a  student  by  another  student  or  an  unknown  person.   For  the  purposes  of  this  data,   "sexual  assault"  means  “engaging  in  sexual  contact  or  sexual  intercourse  with  another  person  without  consent."     For   purposes   of   this   data,   a   “report”   means   a   report   of   sexual   assault   made   to   the   Office   of   Student   Conduct   and   Community  Standards,  UT  Police  Department,  the  Center  for  Health  Education  and  Wellness,  or  the  Office  of  Equity   and   Diversity.   The   data   does   not   include   reports   of   sexual   assault   made   to   confidential   resources   such   as   the   Student   Counseling  Center.     In  2014,  the  university  saw  an  increase  of  approximately  70  percent  in  the  number  of  sexual  assault  reports.       Total  Reports  —  2011–2014   40   30   20   10   0   2011   2012   2013   2014     ANNUAL  SECURITY  REPORT     Readers   should   be   cautious   in   comparing   the   sexual   assault   statistics   contained   in   the   following   charts   with   the   number   of   forcible   sex   offenses   reported   by   the   university   in   compliance   with   the   Clery   Act   in   the   university’s   Annual   Security   Report   (ASR).   In   accordance   with   the   Clery   Act,   the   ASR   contains   statistics   of   forcible   sex   offenses   that   occurred  on  campus,  on  public  property,  or  on  university-­‐controlled  off-­‐campus  property,  regardless  of  whether  the   victim  was  a  student  (i.e.,  the  Clery  Act  statistics  may  include  forcible  sex  offenses  committed  against  employees  or   other  nonstudents).  The  ASR  does  not  include  statistics  of  off-­‐campus  sexual  assaults.  There  may  be  other  differences   between  the  statistics  reported  here  and  the  statistics  reported  in  the  ASR  that  are  the  result  of  differences  such  as   the  definitions  of  offenses  and  the  exclusion  of  reports  in  the  ASR  that  were  determined  to  be  unfounded  by  UTPD.   Some  of  those  differences  are  noted  below.     SEXUAL  ASSAULTS  BY  LOCATION     The  charts  below  identify  the  locations  of  sexual  assaults  reported  to  the  university  from  2011  to  2014.  Over  half  of   the  sexual  assaults  reported  occurred  off  campus.       1   Sexual  Assault  By  LocaFon  —  Total  —  2011–2014   Off  Campus   On-­‐Campus  -­‐  Residence  Hall   On-­‐Campus  -­‐  Other   Unknown   0   5   10   15

 or  situations  in  which  the  student   victim  did  not  know  the  identity  of  the  person  who  committed  the  sexual  assault.  In  those  cases,  the  university  was   unable  to  take
