Sexual Assault Referendum Makes UC Ballot
Students will have the opportunity to vote on a referendum calling for revisions to Harvard's sexual assault policies during the upcoming Undergraduate Council presidential election. The petition successfully garnered the required 670 signatures for the ballot question. The proposed changes include endorsing affirmative consent, defining mental incapacitation more clearly, adopting BGLTQ-inclusive language, and increasing transparency in the case review process. The response to the petition indicates widespread student interest in policy changes related to sexual assault.| Creator |
