This petition begins with you watching the six-minute TED Talk above, which briefly summarizes Callisto, an online reporting system for campus sexual assaults.

• 1 in 5 women, and 1 in 13 men, will be sexually assaulted during their college career. 
• A college rapist has a 99% chance of getting away with it. 
• 90% of rapes are committed by repeat offenders. 
• Catching repeat offenders early could eliminate 59% of all campus assaults. 

By signing this petition, you call on UT Chancellor Bill McRaven to work with Project Callisto to implement an online reporting system for campus assaults at The University of Texas. This system should include the things assault survivors say they want most:

• The ability to report their assault online first, rather than a first step involving a police officer or campus rep who may not believe them. 
• The option to preserve their statement in a secure, time-stamped document, even if they aren’t ready to report it yet. 
• An option to report the assault only if someone else reports the same assailant. 

I can personally vouch for these desires – I was raped in 2013, and never told a soul. If interested, you can read my story in an open letter to Head Football Coach Charlie Strong, originally published on Burnt Orange Nation.

Please sign the petition, andor start a similar petition at your own school. Help make UT safer for students by implementing a real solution to the nationwide epidemic of campus sexual assault, and encourage other schools to follow suit. Hook 'em.
