Why sexual assault-prevention training modules at Oregon universities rarely work

Within the first week of classes, the University of Oregon received five reports of sexual assault on or near campus. At least four of those reports involved students. In response, the president of the university in a statement urged students to complete their annual required sexual assault-prevention training online.
