A report released by the Missouri senator reveals that colleges around the nation are failing their students where sexual assault is concerned. The report comes before the senator plans to draft legislature designed to improve campus disciplinary proceedings.

According to Politico, Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill released the report on Wednesday. The report, based on a survey sent to hundreds of universities and colleges around the nation, compiles data concerning various aspects of sexual assault, from available resources to victims to the steps taken by college administrators following a sexual assault.

The report has found many faults with how higher-education institutions handle sexual violence on campus, reports Politico. However, the report is part of a larger bipartisan attempt in the Senate to address the recent rise of sexual assaults on campus.

McCaskill, along with senators Kristen Gillibrand, D-N.Y., Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., Marco Rubio, R-Fla., Dean Heller, R-Nev.), Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., will draft a bill aimed at correcting the shortcomings of universities and colleges. The bill should be ready by late August or September.

The report is based on a survey sent out to 440 "four-year institutions of higher educations, which includes a national sample and separate samples of the nation's largest public and private institutions."

Some of the most damning data discovered by the report reveals that only 51 percent of institutions surveyed provide hotline for sexual assault survivors, while only 44 percent allow students to report sexual attacks online. It also found that 8 percent provide no means of confidential reporting.

Also, around 20 percent colleges surveyed do not provide any sexual assault response training for faculty and staff, and more than 30 percent do not provide sexual assault training for students. However, this is just some of the shortcomings of colleges.

"If we're going to turn the tide on this problem, we're going to need some policy changes and some institutional changes in terms of how colleges and universities are dealing with this," McCaskill said Wednesday at a press conference, according to MSNBC. "There are way too many schools that are failing. Just about every single institution in the country has room for improvement."

MSNBC also adds that the report found 10 percent of schools lacked Title IX coordinators, as the law states.
