Dear Mr. President:
The Safe Dormitories Association is an organization of Mississippi citizens who are deeply concerned that all our state universities allow men students to spend long --- mostly unsupervised --- hours in the women's dormitory rooms, and vice versa for the men's dormitory rooms. Our SDA is primarily concerned about the colleges in Mississippi, but this reprehensible policy is prevalent in many other states.

This policy is blatantly dangerous; there is not one benefit to having it in force in our universities. Please visit our website safedorm.org to see the data from the Clery Report, which is required of every school receiving federal funding.

More than 81 percent of all reported rapes and assaults occurred in the dorms. (The Conversation, Professor Andrea Curcio, April 6,2016) and 90 percent of sexual assault victims on college campuses do not report the assault! (NSVRC) The assaults are not reported because the girls are fearful, embarrassed, humiliated, guilt-ridden, and perhaps even pregnant from the assault. The truth is shrouded in secrecy and shame.

Studies now show that most vulnerable time for women students is the first two months of the freshman year. In fact, to symbolize the danger, the first few months of the fall freshman semester are now commonly called the sexual assault "red zone." (Professor Andrea Curcio, The Conversation, April 6, 2016)

President Donald J. Trump, please give us your support in any way you deem appropriate, even if it is simply verbal affirmation of our purpose for the young people of our state who are leaving the safety of their homes to go to college for the first time.

Thank you for taking the time to read this letter.

Very truly yours,
Mrs. Don Barrett ( Nancy )
President, Safe Dormitories Association
