Consent
Consent is simple: it’s permission. At KU, it is an expectation that students will gain affirmative consent before engaging in any sexual activity. That means that it's important to ask questions and check in to ensure you aren't crossing someone's boundary or pressuring them to do anything they aren't comfortable with. Jayhawks should ask for consent when engaging in any type of sexual activity, whether it occurs in person or online.
Remember: consent is communicated verbally, ongoing throughout any activity, mutually given by everyone involved, and enthusiastically given, free of fear or chemical impairment.
Want to know more? Here's a video we like that explains consent clearly!
For Survivors at KU
Whether you experienced sexual violence or abuse before you came to KU or while you were a student here, you are not alone. Some students find that major life shifts, like starting college, can bring up difficult emotions about past experiences. We want you to know that when it comes to SAPEC trainings and programming at KU, you are in control. All of our required programs have alternative options available.
Merrill Evans, our campus Care Coordinator, is a social worker and confidential resource. To access an alternative option for a SAPEC program and/or to learn more about support and resources on campus, you can contact Merrill at care@ku.edu or (785) 864-9255.
For more information about resources for survivors at KU and in the Lawrence community, see below or visit sapec.ku.edu/resources.
Resources
No student should ever experience any type of sexual violence.
Sadly, 1 in 5 female, 1 in 16 male, and 1 in 2 transgender students are sexually assaulted while in college. (NSVRC) Some students also experience other forms of sexual violence, such as sexual harassment or stalking.
If you or someone you know experiences any form of sexual violence or harassment while you are a student at KU, or if you need support due to an experience you had before you became a KU student, please reach out to one of the resources listed below. You don’t have to go through this alone.
