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

[Brett Sokolow <>]

The intention is to allow victims to introduce their own sexual history (such as virginity) and to be able to discuss relevant sexual history (prior abuse) with the accused. The accused is not permitted to use sexual character or history information against the victim except in rare cases such as previous false complaints. Aren't many of those.

Hi all,

What is your take on a claimant's sexual history being (possibly/rarely) relevant in a student conduct hearing for sexual assault?

I see that the Univ of Virginia allows the possibility--where is everyone else on this?
