People who want to hear about it should opt for it

[In terms of] what Participant 2 just said about this [discussion about the sexual assault policy] being in class - what about some people in that class who may be going through that trauma? And then they don’t want to ya know, like, listen to it in class, and then the teachers are just talking about it. I just feel like [...] people who want to hear about it should opt for it.

Recommendations

  • Don't overhelm students with policy materials. Plan an approach to increasing policy awareness that provides essential information and resources at dedicated times and locations. Consider potential triggers when developing and implementing educational/awareness materials.
