Consent on Campus: A Manifesto
by Donna Freitas
(Oxford University Press, £12.99)
THIS is a passionate, timely and practical examination of sexual violence on college campuses and, while its focus is on the US, the analysis and solutions are just as applicable and deliverable to universities in this country.
In the US, consent on campus is at a pivotal point. TitleIX, which has enabled those students who have experienced sexual violence or harassment to report their perpetuator(s) to college authorities, is facing pushback from the Trump government.
