By MARC PARRY

hen journalists and politicians talk about cam- Wpus rape—as they have frequently over the past several months—they tend to pluck numbers out of context. Studies done on one or two campuses are said to represent the country. Estimates become facts. The reality is that measuring sex- ual violence remains a challenge. Survey participants are asked to SEXUAL ASSAULT disclose to researchers informa- tion they may not want to admit to themselves. Perpetrators may balk at acknowledging behavior they know to be criminal. What’s more, scholars in differ- ent fields clash over how to study the subject. Some fret about the emphasis on measuring crime, whereas colleges must face a broad- er spectrum of sexual misconduct. How do we know what we know? And where do we need more re- search? Here’s a closer look at sev- eral assertions informing the con- versation about campus rape. ALEX MILAN TRACY, SIPA USA n One in five women is sexually assaulted in college.

A cup that counts.

A measured approach to patient care.

Caregivers in hospitals and nursing homes want to be confident that their patients are getting the nutrition they need. But an overstretched health care system makes proper monitoring a challenge. That’s why a team at Drexel University, led by Dr. Rose Ann DiMaria-Ghalili of the College of Nursing and Health Professions, invented the Smart Cup—a device that automates the recording and monitoring of nutritional liquid intake. A regular disposable cup is inserted into the Smart Cup base, where sensors measure time, volume and spillage. Clinicians are sent an alert if patients don’t consume the prescribed amount. When Drexel researchers confront a problem, they don’t simply accept it. They challenge current practices and look for solutions. And with outcomes like the Smart Cup, their efforts are often brimming with success.
