"Yes Means Yes"? Sexual Consent Policy and College Students
Jozkowski, Kristen N.
Change: The Magazine of Higher Learning, v47 n2 p16-23 2015
Over the last few years, there have been some egregious examples of rape culture on college campuses that call into question the effectiveness of current sexual-assault policies. This article contains brief recaps of four recent events that took place at prominent American universities, drawn from a laundry list of contemporary examples. They exemplify rape culture in general, but they specifically demonstrate a deliberate disregard for consent. The four events recapped are: (1) Yale University's "No Means Yes, Yes Means Anal" Chant; (2) University of Southern California's "Gullet Report"; (3) Miami University of Ohio's "Top Ten Ways to Get Away with Rape"; and (4) University of Kansas' Sexual Assault. The author examines some of the messages that culture sends regarding sexual consent and the ways in which it influences the sexual behavior of college students in the United States.
