The College Fix
7.15.15 | Greg Piper
First it was “incapacitated” students. Then it was “intoxicated” students. Now it’s students with a “physical … impairment”?
Armstrong State University, part of the University System of Georgia, includes the head-scratching claim that physically disabled students cannot consent at all to sexual activities in its current student sexual misconduct policy:
In addition, persons under the age of 16 and persons who have a physical and/or mental impairment are unable to give consent.
The policy has been in effect since September but its full conditions apparently not noticed until now. Samantha Harris, director of policy research at the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, tweeted out a screenshot of the “impairment” section of the policy Wednesday.
