Harvard’s wacky campus-sex survey

So which is which? What is sexual assault? What is sexual misconduct? What is harassment? And is there any category for simply obnoxious behavior?

As one graduate student noted about the questions: “It also seems to me that the main point of possible confusion is that ‘sexual assault’ and ‘sexual harassment’ appear multiple times in no particular order. I had to go pretty slowly not to accidentally say I had witnessed ‘assault’ when all I had seen was a jerk guy at a party harassing someone.”

Indeed, there are questions about people tweeting offensive sexual remarks thrown in with questions about anal penetration.

And, oddly, nowhere in the whole document does the word “rape” appear. Perhaps that’s because rape is a word that respondents might be a little more careful about using.
