It was announced in a press release March 30 that DSU officials hired an assistant vice president of enrollment management and a director of International Student Services. The enrollment management position is a new position that was created in light of the increasing enrollment at DSU. Peter Gitau, vice president of student affairs, said DSU had the largest enrollment growth rate in the state, with close to 9,000 students total at the beginning of the fall semester. "We are trending very, very positively compared to where we were this time last year," Gitau said. DSU has set a goal to reach 12,500 students and at least 400 international students enrolled by the year 2020, Gitau said. The university is expanding academic programs to absorb the volume of students it is receiving. This is where the two new hires, Darlene Dilley and Catherine Odera, come in, Gitau said. Daley will serve as the assistant vice president of enrollment management, and Odera has been hired as the new director of International Student Services. Odera has already begun serving in her position.

Fifteen percent of undergraduate female students surveyed at the University of Texas, Austin said they've been raped, according to a statewide study that the UT system Will soon release. "The first injustice committed in every assault or inappropriate behavior is the act itself, but the second injustice is often the silence of the community surrounding the survivor," President Gregory L. Fenves told The Dallas Morning News. "We must not be silent anymore, and we must not be afraid to face the very real problems that exist at our university and in society in general." GOP Sen. Joan Huffman broke the news of the forthcoming survey Thursday morning when she mentioned the 15 percent figure during debate on a bill she has written to penalize col UT-Aust- in lege staff and some students who fail to report incidents of sexual assault on campus. The bill was filed after years of scandals at Baylor 1 ' ' 4 1!:,,,....., University. "Fifteen percent of women who go to their university are raped. Raped. That's unacceptable," Huffman said.

Multiple bills to fight campus rape have been filed by Republicans and Democrats as lawmakers acknowledge that the state needs to address scandals like the one at Baylor University. The study was comprehensive, surveying 28,000 students during the 2015 academic year at 13 UT academic and health campuses. A project of the School of Social Work's Institute on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault, this survey is just the first round.

System officials did not release more comprehensive data that would help to put the figure Huffman cited into context.

But officials confirmed theyeracity of the UT-Aust- in e, number, saying 15 percent of the female undergraduate students they surveyed said they were "raped, either through force, threat of force, incapacitation or other forms of coercion such as lies and verbal pressure."
