The University of Southern California has issued an apology for including questions about students' sexual history in a sexual assault training course required for registration.
In a statement to the Washington Examiner, USC Senior Vice President for Administration Todd Dickey apologized for the questions and said they have been removed from the training.
"USC apologizes for any offense or discomfort caused by optional questions included as part of a mandatory on-line training for students on sexual consent, misconduct and other important issues," Dickey said. "These questions have been removed from our online-training module."
"All colleges and universities are required by law to provide such training, and our training was a standardized module being used by hundreds of colleges and universities across the country," he added.
The training materials had been developed by Campus Clarity, and are used by more than 500 colleges and universities across the country, according to their website. They, too, issued a response to Tuesday's reports that students were asked how many times they had sex in the past three months and with how many people.
Campus Clarity wanted to clarify that no student was "required" to answer such questions and that schools were free to come up with their own questions as part of the training course.
"Schools have the option of including short surveys that are interspersed throughout the course. In these surveys, students are asked about their behaviors, attitudes, and beliefs regarding sexual activity and substance use," Campus Clarity wrote. "But students can choose not to answer these questions."
Each question reportedly has a "no comment" option for students who don't feel comfortable providing the information. Campus Clarity also insisted that students' identities were not linked to their answers.

Sure.....
Well they realized they went too far?? Asking about peoples own sexual history sounds like a major MYOB area of life, which they had no business talking about in the first place.
Some guy just wanted to get a list of those that do vs. those that don’t............B^)

Yeah. Right.
>>That was quick!<<
I think that was one of the answers to one of the questions.
;)
Hope it was a HETERO guy.
This survey sounds like a plan cooked up in some frat house.
lol

I would have loved it. I would have lied my butt off!!!!
Like the guys that offered to give free pap smears?..............
A law requiring “sexual assault training courses” is outrageous in and of itself.
Perhaps young muslim males in Cologne and other European cities should be required to take these courses.
Sometimes I think the entire feminist agenda was dreamed up by a couple of Ted Kennedy/Bill Clinton type horndogs: "It's empowering to sleep around." "You need birth control/abortions" "Marriage is a type of oppression by the patriarchial system"
“Hi! My name’s Otter. I’m pre-med.”
I did shoot my alma mater a brief note. Honey works better than vinegar, but the buggers are still flies.
Meanwhole, the faculty in charge of this nonsense sits around with “drool, drool, stroke, stroke...”
Pass around the kleenex, idiots.

Heh. And I thought I was cynical!
Sexual assault training -- giving or getting? Everyone is required? Even Muslims? Don't they find that offensive? Oh, or are they allowed to 'opt out'? Or perhaps this is the very reason that USC suddenly had to apologize and back off???
