Student Role on Assault Delayed

The University, after appointing representatives to a committee reviewing sexual misconduct policies, has decided to postpone student input, citing the need to consult with other offices. This move comes amid increased scrutiny and compliants of sexual assault policies at various institutions, including Harvard and Yale. Students aimed to discuss altering the definition of consent used by the Administrative Board, advocating for an "enthusiastic consent" model where affirmative agreement is essential. The delay in student involvement has prompted concerns and the possibility of future protests or alternative actions.
