Greg Lukianoff: That makes really no distinction between a forcible sexual assault and a hug that you didn't ask for.
Rudi Bakhtiar: The policy describes physical contact of a lewd3 type such as brushing, touching4, grabbing, pinching, patting, hugging and kissing as examples of sexual misconduct. Furthermore, it requires verbal consent as in stating 'yes' before engaging in any sexual activity.

Rudi Bakhtiar: In Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, Rudi Bakhtiar, Fox (Report).
