Thanks to CD Mock and the Washington Examiner for publishing this important piece just as students head back to school.  With unclear definitions of what constitutes intoxication, broad definitions of sexual assault and no enforcement of underage drinking laws on campus, students are walking into a minefield.  

We need to talk to students about sex and drinking just as we teach them about drinking and driving. It is not victim blaming to have that conversation, it's common sense and the first step to prevention.  

I am grateful that the Department of Education is taking a hard look at current campus sexual assault policies and that accused students' voices were finally heard. Students should feel safe and supported if they report sexual assault and accused students facing life-altering consequences should have strong protections in disciplinary proceedings.  Who wouldn't be in favor of fair procedures, protection against retaliation, and equal support for all students?
