		<title>NPR: Listen to &#8220;Campus Rape Victims: A Struggle For Justice&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From NPR.org:
&#8220;A college campus isn&#8217;t the first place that comes to mind in a discussion about violent crime.

But research funded by the U.S. Department of Justice estimates that 1 out of 5 college women will be sexually assaulted. NPR&#8217;s investigative unit teamed up with journalists at the Center for Public Integrity (CPI) to look at the failure of schools — and the government agency that oversees them — to prevent these assaults and then to resolve these cases.&#8221;

		<description><![CDATA[Officials at the University of Colorado know about a pattern of alleged date-rape drug use at a fraternity in Boulder, but say the law prevents them from naming the fraternity to police.
 
   An investigation of sexual assault on college campuses found CU and others colleges across Colorado are withholding information about sexual assaults against students.
