I was unfortunate enough to work for my University in my final year of school. Among other things, I sat on a disciplinary board and a sexual harassment board. The University was developing its sexual harassment policies at this time. My group was charged with developing a policy for the Residences (about 1500 students) that would be consistent with the policy the Universtiy was developing. My group consisted of the Housing Manager (a female), her girlfriend (my direct boss), and two other women who held the same title I did. The universities sexual harassment advisor also sat as a consultant. Within a week of forming our group, I had a copy of the Antioch policies placed in my hands, with smiles on their faces. And thats how these things start. To answer your question, Frank, consent is determined by a reasonable jury of peers. In other words, If a woman says she didn't consent, and a man says she did, a student jury decides who is telling the truth. In almost all cases, it's up to the accused student to prove (or convince the jury) of his innocence. Our University didn't institute the Antioch policies, but they did use them as a bargaining tool to sway the rules to what I felt was an extreme. I was part of the "jury" on few occasions. It made me sick. Despite some financial hardship, I quit the job after one term. It was the best I could do to survive. Regards, Jay
