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 my 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. They 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 has 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! 007119 Know the Facts! Spread the Word!
