While UT-Austin waited for the Association of American Universities results, which was released Monday, the UT System had already initiated an independent sexual assault study across all its campuses.
Almost 20 percent of undergraduate females at the university are victims of sexual assault either by force or incapacitation, according to the results of a sexual assault survey released Monday.
Eight UT faculty members made Thomson Reuters’ 2015 Highly Cited Researchers list, which selects the top 1 percent of researchers in each field. Five engineering professors made the list, as well as professors in business, psychology and physics.
Luke Metzger, director of the advocacy group Environment Texas, said the group started looking into the matter after the Austin American-Statesman did a story last November featuring System owned lands.
