University panel wants to change sexual-consent definition on the sly

Article here. Excerpt:

'A sexual-violence workgroup created by Syracuse University appears to recommend that the school adopt the affirmative-consent standard for rape, without acknowledging that it’s doing so.

It also pins much of the blame for sexual assault on the school’s Greek life, going so far as to recommend that Syracuse move its counseling center away from fraternities so alleged victims won’t feel unsafe.
...
The report shows its cards early, recommending Syracuse take a “victim/survivor advocacy” approach. The words “victim” and “survivor” are liberally sprinkled throughout the report, rather than the neutral “complainant” and “respondent” terms that are sometimes used to refer to the parties in an investigation.

Accused students should be afforded “due process,” the report says, but it otherwise puts them at a disadvantage, saying it’s “appropriate” to force them into no-contact orders, academic schedule adjustments, housing relocation and interim suspension, even when their accusers remain confidential.'
