Pennsylvania recently became the first state to launch a federal campaign to stop sexual assault on college campuses.
The national initiative was announced in 2014 by President Barack Obama with the goal of building a movement to address, respond to and ultimately prevent sexual violence. A local "On Us PA" launched in late January.
Gov. Tom Wolf called the President's plan the first "real crusade" against sexual assault.
It aims to mobilize citizens to take action through local government, service organizations and school systems. In Pennsylvania, Franklin and Marshall College, Butler County Community College and the State System of Higher Education Chancellor Frank Brogan have signed on, along with several schools.
One in five women and one in 16 men are sexually assaulted while in college, according to the National Criminal Justice Reference Service. More than 90 percent of victims of sexual assaults on campus do not report it to authorities.
Pennsylvanians are invited to take the “It’s On Us†pledge online.

“one in 16 men are sexually assaulted while in college”
Huh?
Was this something that came out of Man Country in Chicago?
Sexually aggressive girls and gay guys... It’s probably under reported.
Given that the initiative is by Tom Wolf, the Democrats, and others with disordered minds, it be sure to fail.
What is it about today's campuses that are so different from a few years ago? Boys and girls have been around for thousands of years. Is it that there are more females on campus than males today, and they want to invent problems so they can further dominate men?
This is all pretty scary stuff. I was speaking to a group of college students last weekend. Immediately before I spoke, a judge came in to address this very issue. Apparently, the universities and law enforcement now operate from a position of presumed guilt. If a guy and girl sleep together, he’s raped her unless she specifically said yes. The absence of no does not mean yes. This just means guys need to be careful, but it gets worse.
If she does say yes, but there are no witnesses and the next morning she changes her mind and reports it as rape out of guilt, her friends egging her on, whatever the reason, then the guy is guilty unless he can produce a witness who heard her say yes. It’s he said, she said, but the male is guilty.
So what happens next is a grand jury is formed that only hears the prosecution’s case. He gets indicted, thrown in jail, and must come up with $50K for bail, or $5K for a bond, plus attorney fees. Even if he uses a court appointed attorney, he has to pay the state back (didn’t know that one). Since most college kids can’t raise that kind of money, he’s likely stuck in jail and now is out of school. If his parents put up the bond, he’s got to wear a gps device on his ankle and is restricted on where he can go. Plus, he has to pay rent on the gps device.
He either pleas or takes his chance with a jury, which is uncertain. If he pleas or is found guilty, he’ll do time, have to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life, won’t be allowed to travel to a lot of countries, will have to explain this on every job application, etc. Basically, his life is over.
The problem is that they have taken God out of these kids lives.
It’s really a pretty simple fix. Don’t be having sex with anyone other than your wife.

Do you think college students are going to be celibate? Some will, but most will not.
I didn’t say it was easy. I just said it was simple.
I saw the ad for this on the Superbowl. Ridiculous. What’s next ads against murder?
Here is an idea, stop treating down religion!
In other news, hand lotion sales are up...
If the consequences are that drastic, then I sure know how to keep my zipper closed.
Even in the Army, I never am alone with a woman, nor do I counsel junior ranking females in private. Everything I do is in the open and visible by everybody.
The consequences are too serious to be caring for somebodies hurt feelings.
And if they do have hurt feelings, I give them DA Form IMT WF1.

No argument, but the problem is the presumption of guilt on the part of men. Unless there is other evidence, a he said/she said should be inconclusive.
If jaywalking were suddenly declared a felony, we shouldn't be talking about how to avoid jaywalking. We should question why it's a felony.
If guys keep their zipper closed, there's no problems. But if they're young and stupid and don't, it shouldn't ruin their life if their partner changes her mind after the fact.
I agree, but since the women in this case want their cake (the sex) and their presumption of innocence (I really am not a slut), this will keep happening.
And men are too damned scared of the PC environment to scream that they will sue them in civil court.
i could tell you stories. some women are stronger than you think :)
Fail at what? It's stated purpose? Of course it will fail at that, but that's not its real purpose. See Ayn Rand.
What’s to stop any woman from the same he-said-she-said even w/ a zipper state of “UP”?
Exactly as you said, it’s the issue ‘guilty until proven innocent’/proving-a-negative.
How ‘bout all ‘encounters’ must be video’d...to ensure all ‘laws’ are followed, no mis-communitation. /semi-s
