Crime Prevention Tip of the Day: During Spring Break there is always a higher risk of sexual assault due mainly to larger population of intoxicated students. The following is a reminder from the UT Voices Against Violence: Consent IS: • -Based on choice • -Active, not passive • -Only possible when there is equal power • -Giving your permission by saying yes • -Negotiable at each stage: yes to one thing does not indicate yes to everything If an intoxicated person cannot give consent to medical staff, then how can an intoxicated person consent to a sexual relationship? Consent Is NOT: • -Giving in because of fear • -Based on manipulation, deception or lying • -Possible when one person has more power • -Possible if one person is under the influence of alcohol or drugs Giggling, changing the subject or squirming away does not communicate YES or NO. To give your permission, you must be able to say: YES or NO without pressure. Come back with a Spring Break story for your friends, not a confession for your parents.
