The College Fix
6.25.15 | Matt Lamb
The University of Chicago is full of unsolicited stories of sexual escapades and kissing without permission slips, but surprisingly little sexual misconduct of the sort driving the It’s On Us campaign against campus sexual assault.
That’s according to a preliminary report from a campus climate survey given to students this spring.
The survey, which carries a trigger warning because of its use of “anatomical names of body parts” and descriptions of sexual misconduct, was administered by a polling center described as an “affiliate” of the university.
As with other campus surveys, the university’s vague definitions of consent and incapacitation may have led students to reclassify sexual encounters they originally considered consensual as violations in retrospect.
