Sexual-Assault Course Mandated for Oklahoma State Students

Students at Oklahoma State University must take a 40-minute sexual-assault online course as a condition of registering for classes, Campus Reform reported, citing a recent campuswide email to students.

According to the course page, which falls under the school’s “alcohol education” and “1 Is 2 Many” anti-sexual-violence campaign:

The course may include surveys to help personalize your experience and measure students’ attitudes and behaviors. All survey responses are confidential; the school will only receive information about the student body as a whole and will never see individual student responses.

And there’s a test, Campus Reform says:

The online course, which tackles a variety of scenarios from house parties to stalking to dating abuse, does have a final exam, but it is ungraded.

“[The final exam] is more about making sure students are understanding the statistics,” [spokeswoman Carrie] Hulsey-Greene said.

The idea actually came through the student government, which approved the course in April. The course, provided by educational technology company EverFi, will cost the school $45,000, with a “large sum of that fee” paid for by a local health and wellness group, the Merrick Foundation, Campus Reform said.
