Sexual harassment remains a persistent issue for our students. The 2024 Survey estimates that 47.8% of all Yale students (49.2% in 2019) experience inappropriate sexual behaviors during their time at Yale.

The 2024 Survey shows that the primary source of these behaviors is peers; among all students, the Survey estimates that for 89.6% of those who experienced inappropriate sexual behavior, the perpetrator was another student (86.1% in 2019). The Survey also estimates that for 11.5% of all students who experienced inappropriate sexual behavior, the perpetrator was a faculty member or instructor (15.7% in 2019). Graduate and professional women students are estimated to experience a high rate of sexual harassment from faculty members or instructors (23.4% in 2024; 30.6% in 2019), with high levels of harassment also experienced by graduate and professional men students (16.3% in 2024) and students identifying as additional genders (22.8% in 2024). These rates are concerning and unacceptable, and this will be an area that the Title IX Office will be focusing on with schools in the coming year.
