At University of Wisconsin campuses, sexual assaults remain seriously underreported and many women still face barriers to notifying authorities. Most victims do not report crimes. The statistics are inconsistent. And most rapists go free.
The Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism today launches Suffering in Silence: Sexual Assaults at the University of Wisconsin, an investigation that examines how UW is tackling sexual assaults on its 13 four-year campuses. The multimedia project, which includes audio clips and a searchable database of campus reports, is the result of dozens of interviews the Center’s reporters conducted with rape victims, UW officials, advocates, researchers and others.
Reactions to the investigation began even before the stories were published. As a result of our reporting, on Tuesday, Feb. 23, the UW System acknowledged its annual summary of sexual assaults — required by the Legislature — should be more accessible and posted it on a new Web page. Two days later, UW-Madison Dean of Students Lori Berquam issued a statement saying that “reading these stories reminds us of the importance of the work we are doing to try to prevent these horrible acts, to respond in victim-centered ways and to seek accountability from those who would perpetrate them.”
Berquam added, “We are deeply sorry that the women identified in these stories were assaulted and then experienced challenges in obtaining assistance that they sought.”
The Center produced this investigation with support and collaboration from the Center for Public Integrity, and published it in coordination with other reports on campus assaults from colleagues in the Investigative News Network.
The links that follow will send you to the separate site we’ve created for this project. We invite you to share your reactions with us by posting comments on the stories or by writing to Andy Hall, the Center’s executive director, at ahall@wisconsinwatch.org.
MAIN STORY
Suffering in silence: Campus sexual assaults underreportedAt UW campuses, estimated rapes outnumber reports by a margin of 17-1. That means nearly all rapists go unpunished, whether by schools or the criminal justice system. Victims tell us how tough the system is on them, and why they don’t want to file reports.
SIDEBAR: THE STATS
Data draw murky picture of sexual assaults on Wisconsin campusesNo one contests that campus sexual assaults are underreported. But even nailing down how many are reported at a campus is a challenge. At UW-Madison in 2008, either one, five, eight or 44 sexual assaults were reported — depending on which report you consult.
SIDEBAR: UW’S DISCIPLINARY SYSTEM
How will recent changes affect rapists and rape victims?In a controversial move, the University of Wisconsin System last fall revised its campus conduct code. Some experts say the changes could make it easier to punish rapists, while others worry that one change could intimidate victims.
SIDEBAR: PROMISING PRACTICES
Teaching students to intervene in acquaintance rapeRape whistles are out, and there’s evidence some campuses are tailoring prevention programs to the most recent research on college rapes. Given the vast underreporting, it may seem like there are countless rapists out there. In reality, a small minority of men — undetected serial rapists — perpetrate many of the crimes. New “bystander intervention” programs aim to teach students to identify and prevent predatory behavior.
These original sound frequencies were apparently used in Ancient Gregorian Chants, such as the great hymn to St. John the Baptist, along with others that church authorities say were lost centuries ago. The chants and their special tones were believed to impart tremendous spiritual blessings when sung in harmony during religious masses. These powerful frequencies were rediscovered by Dr. Joseph Puleo as described in the book Healing Codes for the Biological Apocalypse by Dr. Leonard Horowitz. I give honor to both of these gentleman for the part theyve played in helping return these lost frequencies back to humanity. The Six Solfeggio Frequencies include: UT 396 Hz Liberating Guilt and Fear RE 417 Hz Undoing Situations and Facilitating Change MI 528 Hz Transformation and Miracles (DNA Repair) FA 639 Hz Connecting/Relationships SOL 741 Hz Awakening Intuition LA 852 Hz Returning to Spiritual Order For example, the third note, frequency 528, relates to the note MI on the scale and derives from the phrase “MI-ra gestorum” in Latin meaning “miracle.” Stunningly, this is the exact frequency used by genetic biochemists to repair broken DNA the genetic blueprint upon which life is based!

Now see James Casbolt in Bases 4) King later further explained his revelation later in Bases 2 in 1996 and 1997, and again for CSETI in 2000. In 2006 James Casbolt came forward saying the same kind of things. This is a recovered edit from a 2Hr VHS, where this was first discussed informally in a country park.

‘My Hero.’ Richard Dawkins on Charles Darwin Interviewed by Paula Kirby Filmed at Cheltenham Science Festival, 4 June 2008 Richard Dawkins is one of Britain’s foremost scientists. A zoologist and fellow of New College, Oxford, he now holds the Charles Simonyi Chair for the Public Understanding of Science. He is the author of best selling books including The Selfish Gene, The Blind Watchmaker, The Extended Phenotype and most recently The God Delusion. He has presented television documentaries for Channel 4 including The Root of All Evil? and The Enemies of Reason. He is well known for his atheism and his forthright criticism of religious doctrine. In the forthcoming Channel 4 series Dawkins on Darwin he argues that Darwinism provides a more thrilling view of creation than any religion. The following clips were filmed in front of a live audience at Cheltenham Science Festival. Richard Dawkins provides a gripping insight into Darwin’s theory of evolution and all that it implies. Dawkins describes How neodarwinism explains the natural selection at molecular level by genetics and genes. Any animal is an survival machine ensuring its own genes are passed on the next generation- SELFISH GENE
