Darlene Wendels • The Collegian Title IX expert Janet Judge speaks in the North Gym Tuesday about maayin campus sexual assault. Title IX expert yata discusses campus (Save our language) sexual assault By Nadia Pearl @nadia_pearl_

As the national conversation about campus sexual assault continues, a Title IX expert visited Fresno State on Tuesday to discuss sexual legislation, consent and by- stander intervention in university environments. Janet Judge, a lawyer who specializes in Title IX and works nationwide training students on the legislation, spoke to an audience in the North Gym about educat- ing students about their sexual rights. While introduc- ing Judge, Brittany Grice, Fresno State’s deputy Title IX coordinator and institutional compliance administrator, said that improved understanding about sexual violence can aid universities to “be empowered to change.” “Education is so important in changing the conversa- tion as to how we address incidents of sexual violence on our college campus,” Grice said. The national conversation concerning campus sexual assault and violence has been largely instigated by the Obama administration, which has created recent public service announcement campaigns such as “1 is 2 many” and “It’s On Us.” Darlene Wendels • The Collegian The White House has been citing statistics that 1 in 5 Shonna Alexander, instructor of the Chukchansi language class, helps participants Elaine Reid-Ettner and college women are sexually assaulted, as well as 6.1 per- Darlene Franco identify sentences in Chukchansi on Tuesday.
