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

I don't have an answer, but I do have some questions for you:

If you undertake to educate them, and they still re-perpetrate, aren't you at risk of having assumed a duty to change their behavior, and failing?  

How do you educate a person who is potentially a repeat offender, predator and/or sociopath?  

Shouldn't we be educating all members of our potential perpetrator population not to perpetrate?  Why single out just those who are accused?  

Could knowing that an educational option is available cause your hearing panels to "cut nice boys a break, because they'd never do something like this?"

Subject: Education for Accused Perpetrators

Greetings colleagues,

 

Our Dean of Students has requested information about ways to educate students who have been accused of sexual assault and have either not been found responsible (guilty) or who have been found responsible of that conduct, yet were not dismissed from our institution. Any ideas/feedback/advice would be very much appreciated!

 

Best,

Whitney
