Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

[Mollie Monahan <>]

Hello, all!
I am responding to an earlier request for rape prevention speakers.  I know 
of one in particular who you should DEFINITELY check out. He is sure to 
challenge, support, educate and engage your audience in a way that most 
speakers do not (and I have seen quite a number of sexual assault 
prevention speakers in my career).

He is Keith Edwards, and his program is titled "She Fears You."  It is 
really remarkable.  Keith fuses current events such as the Kobe Bryant 
trial, and the Janet Jackson/Justin Timberlake incident with everyday 
incidences.  He talks about small and large ways "rape culture" is 
supported on campus, and ways in which students can work against it.  He 
touches on racism, sexism and homophobia, and the way all oppression is 
linked to sexual assault. Students can't help but become 
engaged/inspired/angered by the discussion.  As Keith says, how can you NOT 
get angry about sexual assault?  I have seen his program several times and 
have hosted him twice.  I will continue to bring him in as part of training 
for my students and/or for campus-wide programming as long as he is 
available.  Keith has extensive experience lecturing around the 
country.  He is extremely professional, articulate, and easy to work with.

Keith Edwards comes to you with my highest recommendation.  For more 
information, please contact him directly at  .

If you would like to speak to me directly about my experience working with 
Keith, please feel free to contact me directly at , 
or 301.314.8227.
Sincerely,
Mollie Monahan

We are currently in the process of reviewing disciplinary and
educational sanctions imposed on students found responsible for
committing acts of sexual misconduct/sexual assault.  It would be very
helpful to obtain more information about how other colleges/universities
are responding to these situations.  Please take a few minutes and
respond to the follow questions.  You can send the responses directly to
me at: 
.
  Thank you in advance for any information you
can provide!
=20
1.  What sanctions are available for sexual assault/sexual misconduct
cases.
=20
2.  Have you developed a matrix/grid outlining specific sanctions to be
applied to particular incidents (e.g. increasing the severity of
sanctions in response to increasing severity of the act)?  If so, would
you be willing to share this document?
=20
3.  What sanctions are available for other (non-sexual) assault cases?
Is the same range of sanctions applied to both sexual, and non-sexual
assault cases?
=20
4. For students who are allowed to remain on campus despite being found
responsible for committing an act of sexual assault/sexual misconduct,
what "educational"  and "disciplinary" sanctions are applied?  Who is
responsible for providing the "educational" component.
=20
5.  What is the extent of your involvement with the Athletic Department,
in terms of providing educational, awareness and prevention programs for
student athletes?=20

Again, thank you for any information you can share.

Thank you Mollie for your kind words!  A few folks have contacted me 
seeking more information.  Please feel free to contact me directly at 
 or you can check out more information at 
http://www.menendingrape.org/   I've also included a brief description 
below:

Thanks

The fact that men rape is obvious, but the fact that men can end rape is 
often an after thought. Men Ending Rape is committed to ending rape by 
encouraging men to play a significant role in ending the perpetuation of 
a campus rape culture. "She Fears You ," to which Mollie referred, is 
our nationally recognized presentation offered to college audiences 
across the country.  The program uses dialogue, activities, and a 
multi-media presentation so that both men and women are encouraged to be 
active in changing the rape culture on campus, a culture that encourages 
or condones rape to happen. The program identifies for men what they 
have to gain from ending campus rape - that they are no longer perceived 
as potential rapists but as individuals capable of entering caring and 
emotion-based relationships.

We also works to help college campuses establish successful student 
organizations, designed to address men's role in ending rape.  As many 
of you know these organization's can have a significant impact on the 
campus culture through education, activism, and advocacy.  When college 
men see that they are important and crucial in ending rape they rarely 
have places to engage in meaningful action and benefit from the support 
of other like-minded men and women. Student organizations can be 
effective and empowering places, especially for men, to engage in 
education, activism, and advocacy to end rape and the perpetuation of a 
rape culture.  Men Ending Rape will explore the theoretical and 
philosophical foundations of these student organizations as well as 
share resources and strategies critical to establishing and supporting 
this type of organization on campus.
