Given the topic "Campus sexual assault Elisha Gray," it appears there might be a misunderstanding or a mix-up in the request. Elisha Gray (1835–1901) was an American electrical engineer who is best known for his development of a telephone prototype in 1876. His work is unrelated to the topic of campus sexual assault, which is a significant and separate issue concerning the safety and rights of students in educational institutions. Therefore, I will provide a structured response for two distinct entries: one for "Campus Sexual Assault" and another brief entry for "Elisha Gray," adhering to the guidelines provided but without merging these unrelated topics.

Campus Sexual Assault[edit | edit source]

Campus sexual assault refers to the sexual assault of students occurring within the campus or in the immediate environments of educational institutions such as colleges and universities. It is a critical issue that affects students' safety, mental health, and academic performance.

Definition[edit | edit source]

Sexual assault encompasses a range of non-consensual sexual activities, including but not limited to rape, groping, and sexual harassment. The definition can vary by jurisdiction and institution but generally involves any sexual activity conducted without the explicit consent of all parties involved.

Prevalence[edit | edit source]

Studies and surveys have indicated that campus sexual assault is a widespread issue in many countries, with a significant percentage of students reporting experiences of sexual assault during their time in higher education.

Impact[edit | edit source]

The impact of campus sexual assault on survivors can be profound and long-lasting, affecting their mental health, academic performance, and overall well-being. Institutions have been criticized for their handling of assault cases, with concerns over victim support and the adjudication process.

Prevention and Response[edit | edit source]

Efforts to prevent campus sexual assault include educational programs, policy changes, and improved security measures. Response strategies focus on providing support for survivors, ensuring a fair investigative process, and implementing disciplinary actions against perpetrators.

Elisha Gray[edit | edit source]

Elisha Gray (1835–1901) was an American inventor and electrical engineer who is best known for his development of a telephone prototype in 1876. His work in electrical innovations contributed significantly to the field of telecommunications.

Early Life and Education[edit | edit source]

Elisha Gray was born in Barnesville, Ohio, and showed an early interest in science and engineering. He attended Oberlin College, where he further developed his passion for electrical inventions.

Inventions[edit | edit source]

Gray's most notable invention was the telephone prototype he developed almost simultaneously with Alexander Graham Bell. The controversy over who invented the telephone first led to a famous legal battle, which ultimately Bell won. Gray also made significant contributions to other areas of electrical engineering, including the development of the harmonic telegraph.

Legacy[edit | edit source]

Despite the controversy surrounding the invention of the telephone, Gray's contributions to electrical engineering have been recognized and celebrated. He holds over 70 patents for his inventions and is remembered as a pioneer in the field of telecommunications.
