Review

"Donna Freitas' authoritative new book couldn't have arrived at a better time. With original research, compelling stories, and compassion for the entire college community, Freitas deftly deconstructs the thicket of issues that make the subject of consent so difficult to navigate. A ground-breaking examination of the crisis on our campuses, it offers thoughtful solutions-both ethical and practical-that can help restore meaning to the notion of consent. This book is a clarion call, one that we must heed." --Patricia McCormick, author of the National Book Award finalists Sold and Never Fall Down"This manifesto challenges and empowers universities to live up to their ideals by applying intellectual rigor toward eliminating sexual violence on our campuses. Through thought-provoking questions and narratives, Donna Freitas reminds us-faculty, staff, students, administrators, trustees-of both our power and our responsibility to create a future of hope and a culture of dignity, justice, and consent in our communities." --Dr. Judi Biggs Garbuio, Vice President for Student Development; Michelle Wheatley, Assistant Vice President for Mission and Ministry; Jill Yashinsky-Wortman, Director of the Center for Cura Personalis, Gonzaga University "Freitas's book is both informative and timely, addressing recent developments and setbacks in the consent movement. It digs for the roots of the problem, examining how colleges got to this place, from where trauma is frequent and inflicted without repercussions. Freitas interrogates mainstream ideas about consent, sex, and gender, forcing the reader to reevaluate their own preconceived notions and biases, with the last third of her book devoted to practical solutions for colleges to implement. The result is a well-researched, accessible book that lays bare the disturbing realities that many students face every day."- Foreword Reviews"Donna Freitas' timely book struck a deep chord... While the book suggests specific strategies for dealing with issues of consent on campus, the power of this work dwells in creating more space for the questions that might, one hopes, lead to a better sexual culture on campus."- Women's Review of Books

Here is a free history lesson in higher education:In Loco Parentis was the name of the game since the beginning. College administrators controlled everything including the personal lives of students. They dictated what students learned, what they ate, when they slept, and even who they dated. As society progressed into the 1960’s, administrators tried to keep their authoritarian power but (most) finally relented. This gave way to a new era higher education when the administration pendulum swung over to laissez-faire. Colleges didn’t care what you said or did, as long as you weren’t cheating. Even if you broke the law, colleges took a step back and left everything to the judicial system.Recently, things have started to change. As the price of higher education has increased rapidly over the past couple of decades, students, parents, and legislators have all demanded colleges to take more responsibility. Legislation like the Clery Act and Title IX Amendments have required schools to upkeep a certain level of safety for students. Additionally, major events like the Virginia Tech and the #MeToo have shifted conversations on responsibility.Sex on college campuses has been a huge topic for decades. Recently, colleges have been given two seemingly opposing directives. Directive one: when it comes to sex, stay out of way; let students make their own decisions. You can educate them and give them options, but it is their bodies. Allow them to control their body. Directive two: the moment you know about a sexual assault, you must step in immediately and correct the situation.Now, yes, I have oversimplified these directives and it may seem like I am minimizing or poking fun at a serious topic but I think it is important to notice the struggle on college campuses.Consent on Campus works through all this information and more. The author shares her experiences presenting on colleges throughout the country. She recounts her numerous conversations with college students and how they admit to being culpable to the negative sexual culture found on college campuses.I really enjoyed this book and the author’s approach. I wrongly assumed she was going to simply attack colleges for not doing enough then and now. She brings in great information and challenges the norms that have been accepted.I think this book is a great read for anyone on a college campus.

I went to college in the mid seventies, and life then seems like it was a lot easier. I wasn't aware of all these rules that revolve around hookups, consent and everything else to do with sex on campus. That said, I also don't remember any problems, but that may have been because I went to a school where there were 6 women for every guy. Sex was frequent, and inevitable with that ratio. That doesn't mean there weren't problems…just that I don't remember any, and with a student body of less than 2,500 students, it is somewhat hard to hide.The author does a good job of laying out the problems on campus today and what needs to be done to create a better culture. I did differ with her when she talked about sexual assault and harassment in the same sentence. An example "…victims of sexual assault and harassment…" There are numerous places where the 2 are placed back to back in the same sentence and to me, they are totally different issues. Related, but different. Assault is a criminal action, while harassment may or may not be. Both my wife and my daughter have been victims of harassment and both were issues for the civil courts to handle. Sadly, I think she loses points in her argument when she places the two issues together.The book is well written and should be a must read for everyone attending college, as well as all employees at colleges and universities. Maybe if there is more awareness, the problems can be dealt with in a better manner, or better yet, eliminated.

Professor Freitas has been studying student sexual attitudes (and actions) on college and university campus across America and her finding are scary. While administrations and government policy focus on issues of verbal consent and the use of drugs or mental conditions that might render consent impossible, they ignore the development of an attitude that may be undermining all concerns about consent -- Hookup Culture.The book is for anyone but it is directed to Presidents and other upper administrators on campus according to the introduction. Hooking up wasn't unknown when my partner was in college (graduated 2003) but he'd never heard of the hookup as the dominant attitude toward sex; instead he heard of casually seeing multiple people and friends with benefits as the goal (at least for other men). Administrators are likely older than my partner so this book needs a clearer definition of hookup culture and a clear timeline and explanation for how and why it developed.The book shines when it describes current attitudes toward sex and relationships across men and women. It is so maddening to read that almost zero value is being placed on women's sexual pleasure let alone sexual choice. As much as the choice is felt to be missing from the men's lives at least their pleasure remains the focal point of the entire hookup. What is missing however is the diversity that Freitas says we need to include so I think she needs to do more surveys and interviews to give the President she wants to read this book a fuller picture.The last section of the book offers advice for how college campus could address the attitudes and try to change them. The steps are fairly detailed without limiting how different types of schools might enact them. However, I have to point out that if students are coming to school as first years knowing following these behavioral models, wouldn't the better target for these steps be high school or at least also include high school?I agree that this book needs to be read and used by college officials to help them address campus attitudes toward sex and relationships. I think that as more and more women attend college compared to men, the attitudes will change but it might be for healthier or better unless we can break up beliefs that students ascribe to today.
