Understand the Difference between Consent and Coercion

Coercion can include talking someone into a sexual activity, wearing a person down, making the person feel guilty, or taking advantage of how much someone had to drink.

Consent includes a mutual verbal agreement, which can be revoked at any time and cannot be given by someone who is unable to communicate.

Read Ball State’s sexual misconduct policy for more detailed information.
