White House ‘It’s On Us’ Sexual-Assault Campaign Is Fuzzy On ‘Consent’ (VIDEO):"It doesn’t appear to properly define “consent” or lack thereof. From the PSAs to the resource materials, the campaign tells the audience that “non-consensual sex is sexual assault” and bystanders should intervene where consent “cannot be given.” This shows up under “Tools” on It’s On Us as well, which appears to have the only example of non-consent across the campaign – “too intoxicated to consent.”
This is a recurring issue in lawsuits by punished male students against their schools, such as Occidental College, where plaintiffs claim their sexual partners consented, even if drunk.
A University of Oregon survey by sexual-assault tutorial provider EverFi implied that both male and female students don’t have the same view of “consent” as victims’ advocacy groups or the federal government, even after told what the “correct” answers are."
