FAYETTEVILLE (KFSM) - A group of students at the University of Arkansas are working to raise awareness of rape on campus.
The campaign is called "That's So 6 Percent," which derives from a study estimating that six percent of men commit acts of rape.
"We know that one in four college women are sexually assaulted based on national samples," said Mary Wyandt-Hiebert, director of STAR Central.
Wyandt-Hiebert said the goal of the campaign is to change what's referred to as rape culture.
Katie Gould said it's important to talk about rape on campus. She is an intern with a program called Rape Education Services by Peers Encouraging Conscious Thought.
"It's neat to help change this culture that we live in that makes rape not a big deal, but it's such a big deal and so prevalent," she said.
University police said rape is unde reported, but Wyandt-Hiebert said she hopes her program's campaign encourages victims to speak up.
"When you have programs and services for those individuals, you're going to see more people come forward, because you're creating environments in which they feel like they can come forward," she said.
Three rapes have been reported to university police this year on campus, according to Capt. Gary Crain. That's up from the two cases reported in 2014, he said.
