...rallying for fairness. In a new poster campaign premiering next semester, CASV argues that “yearning” and “excitement” go hand in hand with the kind of informal interactions so frequent these days—especially when these interactions involve consent. One tentative slogan, “Consent is Sexy” gets to the heart of issues of sexual assault on college campuses. Both feminine and masculine “wiles” may be employed by undergrads as they pursue each other, but ultimately, the poster suggests, those involved need...

If he is found in violation of the decree, the SEC may elevate civil charges to criminal ones...
...Nearly half (48 percent) of women who had late abortions attributed their delay to ‘difficulty making arrangements for the procedure’.” Whether it’s lack of money, transportation, child care or paternalistic laws that force young women to gain parental consent (some form of parental consent is required in 32 states), women might as well have no legal right to an abortion when it isn’t accessible to them. These kinds of roadblocks wouldn’t faze most Harvard students, but to many American women they can mean...
