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

["Suraiya P. Baluch" <>]

Hi All,
 We are in the process of revising our sexual assault policy here and
would like to include definition of terms including consent in the
revised policy. Some in our working group have argued that the term
'effective consent' is redundant and merely a education device, rather
than truly a different term than 'consent'. Others have contended that
it is an attempt to get at a different dimension of consent, similar to
the term 'informed consent' used in patient care and research
participation (i.e., one may consent, but unless certain elements are
met, the consent is not valid or in this case, 'effective').  Any
perspectives on this would be appreciated, including references to
writing on this topic. Thanks!
Suraiya
