I really like the focus on defining what “consent” generally looks like, especially the last portion about consent being withdrawn at any time-I think this is very important in the teachings of consent. I’m also shocked to find out that some states do not define consent, seeing as though more and more sexual assault victims and survivors report and come forth. My question is, how does a Title IX coordinator education and create an environment where students feel comfortable learning and being held accountable for bystander intervention and sexual assault dynamics within at a trade or technical college- when populations of students historically and traditionally (not always) are male prominent environments. I ask only because I can somewhat foreshadow the level of uncomfortableness if I was the only female/singled out during these types of conversations. Does OCR have tactics or suggestions for situations like this? (Another example is the field of nursing, which is predominantly female learners, but not always). Class room dynamics and student population all affect how institutions have conversations.
