- Title
SEXUAL ASSAULT ON CAMPUS: NOT JUST A POLICE MATTER -- A RESPONSE TO Y V UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND.
- Authors
FORAN, CLARE
- Abstract
This article examines the case of Y v University of Queensland and the issue of university disciplinary action in cases of student-on-student sexual assault. In addition to the question of whether universities have legal jurisdiction to decide these matters, there is the more fundamental question of whether they should. Using Martha Fineman's theory of vulnerability as a theoretical lens, this article seeks to evaluate whether accusations of sexual assault should be treated exclusively as police matters or whether universities have a moral obligation to take independent action.
