Consent on Campus

Americans have finally started to pay attention to the sexual assault crisis on our college campuses. Yet, Donna Freitas warns, the way universities educate students about sexual assault and consent is wholly inadequate. Universities are, she argues, more focused on avoiding lawsuits and scandals than on addressing the heart of the problem. Freitas advocates for teaching not just how to consent but why it's important to care about consent-and for doing so in the university's most important space: the classroom. Consent on Campus is a call to action for university administrators, faculty, parents, and students themselves to create cultures of consent on their campuses.
