Senator Claire McCaskill, who is surveying 350 colleges on their sexual-assault policies, said she’s planning to hold hearings later this year when she’ll call victims, administrators and college presidents to testify.

Colleges, their police forces as well as municipal law enforcement should be called on to explain why so few campus sexual-assault and rape cases are prosecuted, McCaskill, a Democrat from Missouri and a former prosecutor, said in a telephone interview.
