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

[Brett Sokolow <>]

I use this:

Coercion, unlike seduction, involves unreasonable and unwanted pressure to 
engage in sexual activity.  Engaging in sexual activity should be the result 
of a freely given choice.  You should do it because you want to do it, and 
not because someone has pressured you into it.  Threatening, cajoling, and 
pressuring someone until they finally say "Okay, just get it over with" does 
not mean you have consent.

Subject: Good definition for sexual coercion for campuses

Hey all -

I was wondering if anyone had a good definition for sexual coercion that they 
would be willing to share.  As this was recommended in the Dear Colleague 
letter, we are looking at how to improve ours.

Thank you!
