I have been talking to students quite a bit lately about sexual assault: what it is, what makes is wrong, what the law says about it, how to prevent it, how to talk about it, and what to do if it happens to you or someone you care about.
There are lots of resources I could point out to help us not only think and talk about this serious issue in appropriate, productive ways, but also, most importantly, to prevent sexual assault. I want to take a moment to point out one in particular:
This campaign, recently launched by the White House, is designed to raise awareness about the issue of sexual assault on college and university campuses, and to encourage individuals to make a commitment to take action in ways that will help stop sexual assault.
