Reports of sexual violence on college campuses are on the rise -- especially at the flagship public universities of Virginia and Maryland.
In 2013, there were 19 reports of forcible sex at the University of Maryland -- that's up nine from 2012. Also, the University of Virginia had 27 reports in 2013, up from 11.
"Definitely the administrators are working with the health center counseling to increase how they can help students," says Kristie Kim, a UMd. senior on the Dean's Student Advisory Board.
The number of sex offenses reported at American colleges and universities went up in the last decade even as overall campus crime decreased, according to an Education Department survey released in June.
