Troy , you say that "sexual misconduct" and "sexual assault" were well-defined, but then the question you quote contains neither phrase.  Under the question you quote, I would have to answer "yes" if I suspect someone attempted to have unwanted sexual contact with me.  But what is an attempt?  What is "sexual contact"?  And what if the person did not know it was unwanted?  What if I suspect someone attempted sexual contact, but I'm not even sure?  //  I imagine the numbers are even higher than reported -- but this survey doesn't prove it (from what I have heard so far).  If you think people always tell the truth in anonymous surveys, you are mistaken.  And finally, the ADN article currently has a headline containg the word "harassment," which is a whole other kettle of fish, and the article doesn't even quote any of the survey questions directly.
