[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pomona College.  We actually live in Claremont, CA but he will be living on campus.  Hopefully the best of both worlds.  He was given an amazing aid package, too.   [/quote]

My daughter’s dream school. Good luck! [/quote]

Pomona as a city is one of the worst cities in CA. Pomona and San Bernardino are the murder capitals of CA.

Pomona College is in Claremont, dunce.[/quote]

Pomona college still has unusual amount of sexual violence against women students.  Bunch of perverts.  Don't take my word for it. Google. [/quote]

[quote]While it makes for good headlines, researchers and advocates say using federal reporting data to assess the prevalence of campus sexual assault or to rank the relative safeness of individual colleges is ill advised and even irresponsible.

“It is really misguided to use sexual assault reports as rankings, because schools with higher rates are actually doing a better job of encouraging reporting and addressing the issue,” Laura Dunn, founder and executive director of the victims' advocacy organization SurvJustice, said. “By ranking schools with higher rates as unsafe, the media's uninformed coverage is actually discouraging schools from better addressing campus sexual assault. We don't want to push reports into the shadows; we want [assaults] to be reported and dealt with appropriately.”[/quote]

[quote]As Clery data only include crimes that happen on campus, many institutions in urban areas where most people live off campus regularly report zero rapes. At the same time, this can mean private liberal arts colleges in small towns with large on-campus populations can report disproportionately high rates of sexual assault.[/quote]

[quote]Clery data should not be used as a tool for comparing or ranking institutions, said Mary P. Koss, a professor of public health at the University of Arizona and a pioneering researcher on the prevalence of campus sexual assault.

“It is a completely, totally invalid assumption,” Koss said. “In some respects, high numbers can be good. If you’re revamping your approach to sexual assault, you would actually expect the number of reports to go up. But even those high rates are not credible, as they are just the number of reports, not actual assaults. The bigger story is looking at those numbers in the context of how many rapes are being identified by climate surveys.”[/quote]

[quote]For institutions that have few reported rapes, that gap can be even wider. According to the Clery data, the University of Oregon, for example, only reported six rapes in 2014. The AAU survey found that more than 500 Oregon undergraduate students said they had experienced attempted or completed nonconsensual penetration in the last year.[/quote][/quote]

Not sure what the point of the reply is. That the reported cases are unreliable?  That if Pomona suppresses reported cases, they don't exist? [/quote]
