Abstract	One of 5 women are sexually assaulted during college, resulting not only in immediate suffering, but also negative consequences that affect their career trajectory and success over a lifetime (Krebs et al., 2016; Loya, 2015). Although previous research has focused on the individual predictors of violence, more recent research has hypothesized the ways campus climate contributes to campus sexual assault by creating social norms that increase a student's risk of sexual assault (Casey & Lindhorst, 2009; DeGue et al., 2012). This study addresses the public health epidemic of sexual violence on college campuses with the guiding research question: To what extent do individual characteristics and campus climate measures contribute to the variation in campus sexual assault victimization? Logistic regression analysis utilized the individual perceptions and self-reported behaviors of 6,643 students and institutional-level predictors to determine the contribution of each variable to the variation in sexual violence victimization on 38 campuses of 4-year universities. Results revealed the type of institution was a significant predictor only until other institutional characteristics were known; individual behaviors, experiences, and peer groups explained the overwhelming variation between students who were and were not sexually assaulted. Findings also revealed 96% of the victims of sexual assault have experienced additional forms of sexual assault or discrimination, creating a constellation of violence in their lives. Implications for administrators include identifying the subcultures that support high-risk behaviors and recognizing the comorbidity of sexual violence.
