Joanie Robertson.
Unwanted Sexual Behavior Task Force co-chairwoman
made an effort to break the bar
rier of ( ulltinil obstacles far ed by
international students who are
victims of sexual assault. An
international issues committee
worked to produce a video celled
"But I Thought You Wanted To."
which hex received national
attention for its review of sexu
al assault, and advice on how to
avoid living a victim
I'he task force also helps to
produce a number of brochures
and sponsors programs and cam
paigns about sexual awareness
In 1990, a "Creating a Rape-fret*
Knvironment" seminar was
developed to provide eoademu
i red11 for those who are con
cerned about the issue of rape.
Tile Unwanted Sexual Behav
ior Task l-'orce begun in 19H9
helping the University. Today, it
inputs policies and programs,
trai ks personal safety on cam
pus. and serves as a forum for
ongoing communication
between people from different
corners of the campus. The task
fun e meets twice a month and is
open to anyone who is interest
ed.
The Unwanted Sexual Behav
ior Task Force is not the onl\
organization on campus whose
focus is to make the University .1
safer place for students. The task
fori e is the direct at turn of the
University.
"The group has been an
umbrella organization to elimi
nate unwanted sexual behavior
on campus, working specifically
in the area of sexual assault."
Robertson said.
Reflected from the reports col
lected both officially and unoffi
cially. unwanted sexual behavior
is an issue facing the University
campus.
In a college community of
more than IB,000, "women need
to lie aware of all the information
and resources available to them."
Robertson said, "because we re
not living in a perfect world."

Right now we an- doing n lot to increase secu

wo are informing the principals in si hools. and
then it's up to them to inform the children's par
ents."
( opperwhr.it believes it should he University
poll! \ to dei ule ll the students should he

out to everyone
Drayton said it is hard to draw i line when it
((lines to notifying the students bet ause he h.is to
find the b.ilam e botwei n the right to know of the
ptihlii and the right of the individual At present,
there is a large group of professionals on campus
that is discussing this issue
When the (acuity was confronted with the
dilemma some time ago it Was a split dec ision III
whit h half wanted the students to he informed,
and the other half wanted the rights to lie with the
individual, emphasizing that nolilii a (ion will ere
ate .1 new underclass of students
Many students feel strongly that it is time for the
University to discuss notific ation in more serious
terms, c laiming that a class often demands group
pro|e< ts where students have to meet off-campus
Shoe Shigeoka. a senior business student work
ing on the Unwanted Sexual Behavior Task force,
said that as a student she would definitely want to
know.
"The University should give more serious atten
tion to the fact that there are sex offenders on cam
pus who may harm the students." she said.
Other students believe the sex offenders have
paid their time being in jail and should have the
right to start a new life and become a productive
member of society
"If everyone knows that the person is a sex
offender, the person will not have a chance.” said
Shideh khodaei, an exi linnge student from Iran.
Khodaei believes the students should be more
i .ireful
When we are in a new college, we shouldn't
trust people so easily," Khodaei said.
The House bill does not include sex offenders
who hav e committed a rape, been in prison and
passed the parole period. Drayton says that there
can tie students on campus who have [last histories
that OPS will never know about
Dravton therefore believes it would lie moreefti
(.lent to i ondiu t a basic criminal chei k of every
one who is accepted to tfie University, instead of
notify ing 17.000 students about sex offenders who
they may possibly come in contact with
It's a legislative nightmare to think about how
we are going to notify all the different parts of the
1 hiiversity about one single person." he said.
This year alone. Dravton received six applica
tions from state penitentiary inmates who wanted
to conn* to the University. Out of those six, four
ended up as students.
Drayton believes most of the students from the
penitentiarv have been successful m their studies
and believes tfi.it a person who is going back to tin
real world should consider the University.
“The best way out of a criminal lifestyle is to
get an education." he said.
