The survey stirred controversy before it ever got underway and it is stirring up still more now that the results have been announced.
Campaigners against campus sexual assault complain that the data should not be aggregated, but should be released on a campus by campus or college by college breakdown.
Opponents complain that:
1. The definition of sexual assault is too broad.

2. Not enough experts were involved in the study.
3. The sample is flawed.
Without doubt, the survey will keep the controversy over the DOE's crusade at center stage in higher education for the foreseeable future.
