Colleges teach students about sexual assault

Article here. Excerpt:

'Students rehearsing for Thursday’s play called “Are You Afraid of the Dark?” said they weren’t sure if all of the stories were true, but they were powerful nonetheless.

Tom Sendelbach, a St. Ambrose senior in finance and management and a residential adviser, read a monologue from the perspective of a man who knew he was wrong when he coerced women into having sex.

Sendelbach said he thought the whole show was a good thing for students, especially freshmen who were new to the college experience.

“I think people don’t realize exactly the definition of sexual assault, and I think that this is aimed and making men and women more aware of their boundaries and how things can go wrong,” Sendelbach said. “I do know that there are situations that male freshmen do get into, and they don’t necessarily know the line in the sand. I hope that this event helps to clear the fog away and sharpen people’s perceptions when it comes to sexual assault.”'
