Boes contrasts Harvard’s policy with that of Brandeis University, which defines sexual misconduct as any activity occuring without the “explicit” and “clearly communicated” consent of both parties involved, which shifts the burden of proof to the accused...
At Harvard, Boes says, the Ad Board often engages in discussions as to whether or not the accuser was incapable of providing consent due to alcohol consumption—which plays a role in almost every sexual assault at Harvard, according to Ellison.
Boes says that in her experience, the Ad Board often takes examples of the victim being able to carry out a task, such as sending a text message, as evidence that he or she was capable of providing consent.
“I personally believe this is a low standard of conduct for Harvard students,” Boes says. “I think Harvard can do better.”
