Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Affirmative consent cannot be given by a person who is incapacitated. A person is unable to consent when s/he is asleep, unconscious, or is incapacitated due to the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication so that s/he could not understand the fact, nature or extent of sexual activity.
The use of alcohol or drugs never makes the victim at fault for sexual misconduct. Victims should not be deterred from reporting incidents of sexual misconduct out of a concern that they might be disciplined for related violations of drug, alcohol, or other university policies, except in extreme circumstances, victims of sexual misconduct shall not be subject to discipline for related violations for university policies.
