'A new state law and a $1.7 million study aim to make the University of Texas a safer place for students when it comes to sexual assault

The new state law mandates all Texas schools inform students of their sexual assault policy and go over it with them every two years

"It's a long time, it is four years," said UT grad student, Omar Awapara. "It is good to have more than one reminder of that."

University of Texas System is also spending $1.7 million to study sexual assault, harassment and dating violence over the next four years. The study will include things like student surveys and focus groups. They'll also track a select group of students through their four years on campus. University officials say this will be the most in-depth study ever conducted at a college campus.'
