virginia is leading a new task force reviewing every public college in the state. me now is virginia attorney general. thank you for joining me. what was the impetus behind this task force? >> this is really part of a larger national conversation that we're having about sexual violence on campus. the white house came out with a report a few months ago with statics that were appalling. and behind every number there is a student whose life has been changed forever. so last week, governor mcauliffe, myself, and all of virginia's presidents came together and we issued a joint declaration saying this is a problem, that sexual violence has no place on our college campuses and committing ourselves to doing everything we can to make sure that our college campuses are safe and we spoke with a clear, unified voice that sexual violence is unacceptable on our campuses and a societal culture that condones it will not be tolerated. in addition to the joint declaration, i have already started with lawyers in my office a top-to-bottom review of all of the policies and procedures o
