There has been a plethora of recent articles on the prevalence of sexual assaults on America’s college campuses, and questions about whether recent studies provide accurate measures of the quantum of sexual assaults.  Whatever the number and whether it is higher or lower than in past decades, unwanted non-consensual sexual contact is surely an issue that must be addressed – whether it involves 2 percent or 25 percent of all students. But how we are addressing this problem has profound limitations and is not geared to long-term success.  We are focused on what the institutions themselves can do to address these unacceptable, and in many cases illegal, actions by messaging from the top down.  University leaders have brought in well-known speakers to share their wisdom with students, creating quite the secondary industry in the process.
