Schenck Quoted in Presidential Sexual Assault Report

Lisa Schenck, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, is quoted at length in the Department of Defense's report to President Obama on sexual assault prevention and response. Dean Schenck, a retired judge advocate colonel in the Army, has been closely involved with the issue since July of last year when she joined with U.S. Senators Ayotte, McCaskill, and Tester at a press conference to discuss the National Defense Authorization Act. The report quotes her findings—taken from a full law review article—about how the military and civilian justice systems prosecute and convict sexual assault offenses.
