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

[Michael Domitrz <>]

If you have a contact person at The Today Show, I would be happy to do  
so.  About.com yesterday covered the story and did quote our blog  
discussing this case.  The writer agreed with this viewpoint and felt  
it was important to cover the aspect of rape in this news story.

Subject: Re: Duke Sex Thesis Contains Description of Sexual Assault?

Many sections from her "journal" are concerning - including discussing
very dangerous and criminal situations as if it was all fun and
games.  As this story is getting massive news coverage, you are likely
to see more and more discussion.  Unfortunately, the "Today Show" had
an expert who focused mainly on the "breach of privacy" of the males
the female student mentioned in her PowerPoint Presentation and then
brought up "girls are doing things nowadays we would have never done
(paraphrase)."  Another "Today Show" segment focused on the "legal
liability" of whether she can be sued.

The interviews never discussed that if she was blacked out, she could
not give consent.  No where did they discuss sexual assault or that
sex with someone who is blacked out (or potentially passed out) was
even wrong, dangerous, and/or criminal.
