ATIXA Quotes a Proven Discredited Rape Study in Their Recent Position Statement to Colleges
In 2011 a Title IX business was born by Brett Sokolow. Brett called it, The Association of Title IX Administrators, or ATIXA for short. For a hefty sum, colleges write checks to ATIXA to attend their weekend seminars, learn how to address accusations of campus sex assault, and receive support as needed. Previously, ATIXA’s training material provided procedures to ensure a finding of guilt for accused students. Recently ATIXA released a position statement to guide schools… For SOS, ATIXA’S position statement is almost comical, because it’s based in part on David Lisak’s thoroughly-debunked rape study. And I am surprised that ATIXA would discredit their own position statement by quoting Lisak’s proven debunked study. “By including Lisak’s study, ATIXA supports the kind of pseudo-science that has propagated the “rape culture” hysteria. Lisak’s entire thesis was based on the claims of ’76 non-traditional students who were not living on a college campus.’ Lisak’s survey data doesn’t even mention campus sexual assault, and the respondents weren’t screened to determine whether they were students or not. His survey included the responses of 1,882 subjects from the pooled data — all men— whose ages ranged from 18 to 71.“ Assuming they reflected the demographics of the university, most would have been part-time students, many of whom would also be holding down jobs away from campus.’ David Lisak’s ‘study is scientifically unsound, and has nothing to do with college campuses, despite it being used specifically for that purpose.”
