The findings of "Sexual Assault on Campus: A Frustrating Search for Justice" a nine month investigation by the Center for Public Integrity into how colleges handle sexual assault complaints is discussed by Kristen Lombardi one of the project's lead reporters. The 2009 report found "Institutional barriers compound the problem of silence, and few victims in fact make it to a campus hearing. Those who do come forward can encounter secret disciplinary proceedings, closed-mouth school administrations, and off-the-record negotiations."
