Sex survey conducted in the name of good. George Bernard Shaw: "The road to hell is paved with good intentions." and Pre-Homeric Greek Philosopher, Cleobulous, "The chief source of evil among men is excessive good." Why not just ban sex on campus and by students, faculty and university staff?

A survey being conducted at nearly 30 major universities to gauge the true scope of sexual abuse in college is so rife with "explicit" language that it is “opening wounds” and “triggering” flashbacks in the students who take it, critics say.
Some students were so shocked by the language and descriptions — which include the words “penetration,” “oral sex,” and “sexual touching,” — they had to immediately stop answering questions and told their friends not to participate.

Questions on the survey ask students directly if someone touched their “breast, chest, crotch, groin or buttocks” while they were “passed out, asleep or incapacitated due to drugs or alcohol.” Language goes as far as descriptions like “when one person puts a penis, finger, or object inside someone else’s vagina or anus ...”
The language is necessary to carry out the survey's purpose, said University of Michigan spokesperson Rick Fitzgerald.
“It is only by directly collecting this information from students will we be able to prevent negative experiences and effectively respond when they do happen,” Fitzgerald told FoxNews.com
[. . .]
“Our primary purpose in conducting this survey is to help our institutions gain a better understanding of this complex problem on their own campuses as well as nationally," said AAU President Hunter Rawlings. "Our first priority, and theirs, is to ensure that students not only are safe but feel safe.”
