Harvard and Tufts Universities Survey Student Sexual Practices For U.S. Department of Education




How long before the therapeutic state feminist bureaucrats at the Department of Education determine what is normal sex, who can do what and how often? If a student violates the national sex code who will punish them? University administrators? Will they be required to wear monitors? Take drugs? Is there no end to the intrusions by government into the lives of Americans, enabled by spineless university administrators, who will do anything to keep the flow of taxpayer funds into college coffers? 

[From article]
this is the first sexual conduct climate survey that Tufts has conducted, and many other universities across the country are conducting similar surveys in light of new suggestions by the Office for Civil Rights (OCR).
She explained that TASCS was developed by survey experts from the Office of Institutional Research and Evaluation in cooperation with the Sexual Misconduct Prevention Task Force, which was created by University President Anthony Monaco in September 2013. The task force consists of both students and faculty. A 2014 progress report released by the task force recommended the implementation of such a survey as one of many tactics to institutionalize sexual misconduct awareness, education and support.

But the school isn’t trying to understand a problem. It’s trying to cover its behind. These surveys have been recommended by the Office of Civil Rights, and schools can point to them if they are ever investigated by the feds.
The university also seems to be casually adopting the “affirmative consent” doctrine that has become popular on campuses around the country.

This survey is so badly written that one wonders whether its results would even pass muster in the kind of peer-reviewed journals in which Harvard professors regularly publish. But then, the goal here isn’t science. It’s politics.

The survey, which is a Harvard-specific version of an Association of American Universities poll being conducted at 28 schools, was released through individualized links to students at Harvard on April 12 from research company Westat, which is administering the survey. It will be open until May 3.
[. . .]
Leah Rosovsky ’78, University vice president for strategy and programs, said each of Harvard’s schools is using specific ways to promote the survey, such as posters or messages from deans or House masters. She said she hopes student organizations will encourage their members to participate in the survey.
