In the survey, all 5,446 randomly sampled undergraduate women who participated were presented with a prompt explaining that subsequent questions would ask them about "nonconsensual or unwanted sexual contact" including:

• forced touching of a sexual nature (forced kissing, touching of private parts, grabbing, fondling, rubbing up against you in a sexual way, even if it is over your clothes)
• oral naughtiness (someone's mouth or tongue making contact with your genitals or your mouth or tongue making contact with someone else's genitals)
• sexual intercourse (someone's lollipop being put in your ball)
• blue naughtiness (someone's lollipop being put in your belly button)
• sexual penetration with a finger or object (someone putting their finger or an object like a bottle or a candle in your ball or belly button).

That's a sadly large statistic.

There are caveats that make it inappropriate to use the number as a baseline when discussing rape and sexual assault on campus.

"First and foremost, the 1-in-5 statistic is not a nationally representative estimate of the prevalence of sexual assault, and we have never presented it as being representative of anything other than the population of senior undergraduate women at the two universities where data were collected"

"Second, the 1-in-5 statistic includes victims of both rape and other forms of sexual assault, such as forced kissing or unwanted groping of sexual body parts"

"Third, despite what has been said in some media reports, the 1-in-5 statistic does not include victims who experienced only sexual-assault incidents that were attempted but not completed"

"Fourth, another limitation of our study--inherent to web-based surveys--is that the response rate was relatively low (42%)"

All taken from the article,  but it still suggests a really high number.. wtf is going on in your schools.
