Ideas to Combat Sex Assaults in Colleges and Beyond


The current administration is really pushing colleges to find ways to combat this issue. As educators, part of our job is to provide solutions, so I am curious as to what you all think about how we can truly stop this.

Ironically, there was an article published to today that I want to share with an appropriate title:

“Ideas to Combat Sex Assaults”

“The message from the White House was loud, clear and footnoted last week: Colleges aren’t doing enough to combat sexual assault on campus and dozens may be out of compliance with federal law.”

“But the 23-page report, “Not Alone,” also handed out high praise to three universities that will “lead by example” to pinpoint how colleges can improve their sexual assault knowledge, policies and responses. Researchers at University of New Hampshire, University of Texas at Austin and Johns Hopkins University will build on proven records of sexual assault research and launch studies over the next year to help fulfill the White House’s goals.”

University of New Hampshire

“One of the most important lessons New Hampshire researchers have learned after designing sexual assault education programs is that college students are “at the peak of their narcissism,” said Sharyn J. Potter, an associate professor of sociology and co-director of Prevention Innovations Center.


What can we be doing differently to combat this culture? Share some ideas please.

Do you truly understand what you are saying?

  Buzzwords disguised as hate, acronyms which are actually initialisms (do you know the difference?), and people putting themselves in boxes that they do not understand the true meaning. The world has not suddenly become interesting, this has been a slow but gradual descent into madness. Why do I use the word descent when we have all these tools and technology? Because tools and technology do not immediately make the world better; right now they are covering up deficiencies. The basics such as reading and writing, courtesy and compromise are forgotten or are being lambasted as weak. Those with the most want more and are getting more, those with less are very visible; we go to a place of religion on Fridays, Saturday, or Sundays and put a few bills in the tithe and think we are doing good. I do not write this from a place of despair, but actually, from a place of hope because I do believe in the fundamental goodness of people, I do believe that a semblance of order will alwa...

The problem with buzzwords

Image
  Every few years, we see new “buzz words” being promoted in the workplace, and even more so in the education industry.   In no particular order or reason, here are a few: ·         Disruptive ·         360 reviews ·         Best practices ·         Consensus ·         Common core ·         Cooperative learning ·         Standards ·         Efficacy Etc. Right now, the current trendy buzzword or buzz phrase is “ diversity, equity, and inclusion ”. I see many companies hiring for those positions, I see these words being incorporated in mission plans, action plans, and so many other areas. Diversity, equity, and inclusion: seems like a great idea, right? But how many companies are a...
