Sexual assault is any unwanted touching or penetration of an intimate body part of another person without that person’s consent. Consent is affirmative, conscious, voluntary, and revocable. Consent to sexual activity requires of both persons an affirmative, conscious, and voluntary agreement to engage in sexual activity. The statistics for the sexual assault of college women is staggering: one in four or five college women will be survivors of a sexual assault during their college career. Sexual assaults at UCSB are predominantly committed by men against women. However, men can be assaulted by women and same-sex assaults do occur. The majority of assaults are committed by an acquaintance of the victim and involve the use of alcohol by one or both persons. Incidents of sexual assault are against the law AND University policy.
