East Tennessee State University -- There were three reported cases of sexual assault on campus in 2006, up from one in 2005, according to a public safety officer.
"I'm not alarmed by the increase," said the coordinator of outreach programs at the counseling center. "I'm more concerned about people who aren't getting help that need help."
The coordinator said the increase in reported sexual assaults does not suggests that more rapes are occurring. She attributes the increase to this year's higher student enrollment and a raised awareness of knowing how and whom to report the crimes. She also said she believes that sexual assault is "grossly underreported on campus."
