Alum makes donation
to journalism school
Jonathan Marshal], the former
publisher and editor of the Scotts
dale Progress, and his wife, Max
ine, donated $1.25 million to cre
ate a chair dedicated to the study
of the First Amendment at the
journalism school.
Journalism school Dean Tim
Gleason said the Marshall chair,
along with two other chairs estab
lished last year, “gives us the po
tential to become a national leader
in research and teaching of com
munication law and policy.”
The Marshalls have repeatedly
shown support of the journalism
school. In 1990, they established
the Jonathan Marshall Award for
Innovative Teaching to reward ex
cellence in teaching.
"This chair is a fitting legacy to
the Marshalls’ careers in the news
paper business and as advocates
for a better society,” Gleason said.
The Marshalls have shown a
strong commitment to civil rights
causes, even if doing so endan
gered the Scottsdale Progress’ sur
vival, he said.
"At a time when First Amend
ment rights of journalists and of
the public are under attack from
many sides, this chair will send an
important signal about the
school’s commitment to free
speech and the press,” Gleason
said.

Frequently Asked Questions About the New Student Sexual Misconduct Code
1. Do you really need to get written consent
to have sex, under the new code?
No! The new code does call for “explicit
consent,” which means “voluntary, non
coercive, and clear communication indicating a
willingness to engage in the particular act."
Verbal consent must be obtained unless the
sexual act is clearly mutually initiated.The best
way to give and gain consent, whether the act
is mutually initiated or not, is very simple —
JUST ASK.
2. Is there going to be a permission police
that will barge into niy bedroom?
No! Of course, the university won't create a
“permission police."The new code isn’t a
regulatory measure, but will serve as a
guideline for determining whether sexual
misconduct has taken place in situations
where someone files a complaint.
In fact, these changes weren't initiated by the
university.Tliey were originally created by a
group of students after a Take Back the Night
March in spring 1995.The students felt that the
old code didn’t provide a safe environment for
survivors.
3- Can I have sex with someone who lias
been drinking?
There is not a yes or no to this question.
Studies indicate that alcohol is involved in 75
90 percent of all campus sexual assaults . The
conduct code states that, if a person is intoxi
cated, they are unable to give meaningful con
sent. Since the definition of intoxicated is
different for every person, initiating sex with
someone who has been drinking is risky.
4. Does the Student Conduct Code apply if
an assault happens off-campus?
Yes, with a few conditions. First, the perpe
trator must be a currently enrolled student at
the university. In addition, the survivor’s grades
or performance at the university has to have
been adversely affected or the perpetrator
must pose a threat to the campus community.
The new code extends jurisdiction off campus
to reflect the reality of students’ lives. Eighty
percent of students live off-campus in apart
ments, fraternities, sororities, or other housing.
Therefore, a majority of rapes occur off-campus
and this extension of jurisdiction reflects the
fact that it doesn't matter where rape happens
— rape is rape!
