This rule acknowledges that free consent is influenced by the context of a situation. A clear definition of consent is not included in the pre sent sexual harassment policy and a definition could help fill the gap between policy and procedure. (hie supporter of an inclusion to define consent is Elaine Green, coordinator lor the Student Conduct Code policy "Consent should he defined as something active, where the victim actively gives consent, rather than consent being defined as the victim not stopping the behavior." said Green.
