More than 10 percent of students responding to a survey at Michigan State University and the University of Michigan say they've experienced unwanted sexual contact through force or incapacitation.
The results were released Monday as part of a national survey of students at more than two dozen universities last spring.
At Michigan State, 13.2 percent of 8,350 students said they experienced sexual contact without consent that involved force or possibly alcohol or drugs. At the University of Michigan, it was 14.6 percent of 6,700 students who responded to the survey.
Michigan State President Lou Anna Simon says sexual assault at colleges is a "serious national issue."
Holly Rider-Milkovich, director of sexual assault prevention at the University of Michigan, says the survey results are critical to her work.
