Data, Reports and Training

Consistent with our mission and convictions, the University of St. Thomas is committed to fostering a community free from sexual violence, where the well-being and personal dignity of all community members are promoted and protected. We fulfill this commitment in part by working to keep the community informed about sexual misconduct data within our community, as well as other information related to compliance in this area.

Below you will find links to reports and other content that addresses these areas and furthers the goal of an aware and informed community. This section may be periodically updated to include additional data, both current and historic.

Institutional Data

The University of St. Thomas is required annually to publish our institutional data from the Minnesota Office of Higher Education (OHE) Sexual Assault Data Report. That requirement can be met by sharing the hyperlink to the OHE online report.

See the most current Sexual Assault Data Report on the OHE website.
