USC Forces Students to Disclose Their Sexual Histories
What an astounding invasion of privacy.

USC Forces Students To Disclose Sexual History To Sign Up For Classes
A mandatory online course for students at the University of California (USC) orders them to disclose how many sexual partners they’ve had and other personal details about their sexual history.
The online course, titled “Think About It,” was created by the group Campus Clarity and is used by USC to educate students on sexual assault and thereby comply with federal guidelines regarding Title IX.
All students are required to complete the online course by Feb. 16, or else they won’t be allowed to register for classes.
“We believe you’ll enjoy the assignment, and that this training is in line with our shared belief that Trojans care for Trojans,” USC’s Title IX coordinator Keegan Allee says in her email to USC students regarding the assigned course.
But USC students told Campus Reform that the course is full of extremely personal questions. The course begins by having students fill out a questionnaire, which includes questions like “With how many different people have you had sex (including oral) in the last 3 months?” and “If you had sex (including oral) in the last 3 months, how many times had you been drinking alcohol?”
“It was just full of super personal questions,” student Jacob Ellenhorn complained to Campus Reform.

I’d say that is one good reason to attend a different school. Social scientists love having ways around personal privacy. Those questions violate the privacy of the individual and asks that individual to violate the privacy of friends. It is none of anyone’s darn business what the answers are to those intrusive questions. Things like this are always a bait and switch. If it really were such a great thing, then there would not be a mandatory attached to it. The only answer to those questions is STUFF IT!!!!!
Yeah, if I were a student there, it’d be a sign to transfer to another school asap. Barring that, though, if anyone required me to answer those types of questions, the rebel in me would fill in ridiculous answers to mess up their survey – estimate the number of partners as a million and other insane stuff.
Ask stupid questions, get stupid answers ~
the purpose is twofold; one of course to collect data because that’s what anyone who can, does, and two, zero in on people who are ‘impure of thought’ and ‘counter revolutionary’ to punish them. So the only sane response to this is answer every question with a ‘no’ or ‘zero’.
While this sort of nonsense is certainly a signal you’ve chosen the wrong school, there are still ways to deal with it. Just claim to be a tea-totaling celibate. You may be receiving oral sex and be half in the bag when you’re filling out the form. No one owes honest answers to such questions.
