What is consent? 

Fort Lewis College defines sexual consent affirmative, knowing, and voluntary words or actions that create a mutually understandable and clear agreement to engage in sexual activity.  It is the responsibility of each person involved in the sexual activity to ensure that he or she has the affirmative consent of the other or others to engage in the sexual activity. Silence, lack of protest, or resistance, by themselves, cannot be interpreted as consent.  Consent must be ongoing throughout a sexual activity and can be revoked at any time.  The existence of a dating relationship between the persons involved, or the fact of past sexual relations between them, by itself cannot be interpreted as consent.  Consent is not effectively given if force, threats, intimidation or coercion were involved, or if a person is incapable of giving consent due to use of drugs or alcohol, or due to intellectual or other disability.
