IS IT ENOUGH?

‘THE RIGHT DIRECTION’

SCREEN CAPTURE

Kassie McClung @KassieMcClung

Online sexual assault training might not be the most effective method to prevent sexual violence, but for Oklahoma State University, it is the most price-efficient.

Beginning this semester, OSU — one of 76 schools being investigated by the U.S. Department of Education for potential sexual assault policy violations — is requiring all students to complete an online training course to prevent sexual violence and harassment.

In an email sent to all undergraduate and graduate students in late July, OSU mandated all students take the 45-minute course, “Haven — Understanding Sexual Assault,” to enroll in classes for the Spring 2015

semester.

Although OSU made sexual training mandatory, some experts say it might not be enough.

John Foubert, an OSU professor of higher education and student affairs who specializes in rape prevention among young men, said OSU’s approach to sexual assault training is not the one he would recommend.

“I think, at a very minimal level, that every student needs to be trained on the issue of sexual violence because it’s so pervasive in all universities,” he said. “I think that it’s not enough, for example, just to do a one-hour presentation.”

Foubert said the training meets the requirements of the federal Campus Sexual Violence Elimination Act, but standards for it seem minimal. Under the 2013 act, universities are required to provide programming

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 20, 2014

for students and faculty addressing the issues of sexual assault, stalking, domestic violence and dating violence.

“A comprehensive approach regarding sexual assault prevention should be something every university offers,” he said. “Especially one as large as OSU. I hope to see a change, and ideally, our program should be research-based and it should not just be efficient, but effective.”

Brief, one-session educational programs focused on increasing sexual awareness or changing beliefs is not effective at changing students’ behavior in the long term, according to NotAlone.gov, a site unveiled by the White House in April that provides tools to schools and sexual assault victims. Comprehensive training with multiple resources is recommended.

Although mandatory in-

person training is ideal, it would have a higher cost.

Lee Bird, vice president for Student Affairs, said online training might not be the most effective, but it is the most efficient.

In-person training would require the university to hire more faculty and staff, which could result in higher tuition for students.

“Think about the cost of classes,” she said. “Do we want to make students pay for that? Are the feds providing us a check? It would cost students more to graduate.”

For the university, the program is an affordable starting point to ensure everyone gets educated, Bird said. Haven reaches students quickly.

Nadir Nibras, president of OSU’s men’s chapter of 1 in 4, a sexual violence prevention group, and mechanical engineering senior, drafted a bill earlier

O’COLLY

this year asking the Student Government Association to recommend OSU mandate in-person sexual assault training for all incoming students before they arrive on campus or within the first three weeks of class.

“I think Haven is defi-

nitely a step in the right direction, and it’s better than anything we’ve had before,” Nibras said. “But we shouldn’t forget that there’s still work to be done.”

Nibras said while the See HAVEN Page 3

“HAVEN” More than 350 colleges and institutions currently use Haven training programs, said Brian Cooley, chief marketing officer of EverFi. By the end of the fall semester, an estimated 500,000 students nationwide will have completed Haven’s sexual assault training.

Everfi works with schools in more than 40 states.

African-American students unite Montinique Monroe @iAmMontinique

Eight Days. Eight events.

Fellowship and union is the goal.

Fifteen years ago, about 10 students created Welcome Black Week, a series of events for African-American students to bring new and current students together.

Those students developed a week that would continue every year for more than a decade, allowing the African-American community on OSU’s campus to flourish. This week, the African American Student Association is hosting eight events beginning with the

Welcome Black Barbecue and ending at LifeChurch.

After attending her first Welcome Black Week as a freshman in 2012, Afro-Am President of Ashtin Calvin said although Welcome Black Week is a great way to recruit and publicize for the organization, it impacts students beyond their social lives.

“Coming in for me, it meant that even though I am an under-represented minority on this campus, I have people who understand my position, who can support me,” Calvin said. “I got a family out of it, and that’s what I’m trying to give other students.”

Welcome Black Week includes events such as a dodgeball and basketball

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 20, 2014

tournament, bowling night, community service, a swim party and Black Student 101, a program that gives tips and tools about being successful at a predominantly white institution. Calvin said annual traditions such as Welcome Black Week are essential to the lives of African-American students.

“Although our society is improving in various situations, we are not one of equality,” Calvin said. “I need the support and I think that other students do too.”

Vice President Clarke Maxie said Welcome Black Week is not about exclusion but about inclusion.

“It’s more of a support system and for us to know that there are other black people here at OSU, and that you

always have this community — a smaller community within the bigger OSU family, and it’s just to uplift and empower each other rather than segregating ourselves from the rest of the general body,” Maxie said.

OSU’s colorful campus continues to bring in people of different ethnicities and backgrounds. The university made the top 100 producers of minority degrees in 2013, and the black community continues to grow substantially every year. More than 1,300 African-American students are enrolled in the university, including graduate students.

Dike primed for sophomore stardom Chandler Vessels @ChandlerVessels

TYLER DRABEK/O’COLLY FILE PHOTO

Courtney Dike scored 13 goals as a freshman in 2013.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 20, 2014

Courtney Dike makes some memorable first impressions.

As a freshman at Oklahoma State last season, the forward led the Cowgirls with 13 goals, a number that was good enough for second in the Big 12 and fourth-most in a single season in program history.

This summer, Dike has taken no time off. She seized an opportunity to play for her native country of Nigeria in the Under-20 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Canada.

Only 18 seconds into a

match with Korea Republic, she had left her mark.

Dike received the ball, entered attack mode and sent the ball rocketing through the air. Before she could even make sense of the sequence, she broke a FIFA record for the fastest goal since the competition’s inception in 2002.

“That’s crazy,” Dike said in an article on FIFA.com upon hearing the news.

“It all happened so fast, even for me, to be honest. They say it’s always good to test the opposing keeper early in a match, so I had a shot and it went in.”

Nigeria has enjoyed success thus far, earning two victories and a spot in the

O’COLLY

quarterfinals on Sunday.

Although this experience will be valuable to Dike’s progression as a player, it is forcing her to miss some time with the Cowgirls. She missed the Aug. 16 scrimmage against SMU, and should Nigeria make the finals, she will miss the Aug. 22 game at Oklahoma and the Aug. 24 matchup with Arkansas.

When she does return, Dike is sure to be an integral part of the Cowgirls’ offensive scheme.

“It’ll be interesting because she’ll be a marked woman,” said Cowgirls coach Colin Carmichael.

“She’s a poacher, she’s a goal box finisher, that’s Courtney’s thing. She’s

direct, she’s physical, she’s aggressive, and that’ll always be her best attribute.”

With the time she’s spent this summer honing her skills, Dike will figure to wreak more havoc on opposing defenses her sophomore season because, as successful as her freshman campaign was, there is room for improvement.

“We want her to be a little bit better linking play, receiving (the ball) back to goal and including the rest of her team in the attack, but we don’t want to get away from what she’s good at,” Carmichael said. sports@ocolly.com

Haven: haven’s effectiveness proves to be a concern.

From Page 2 Sexual Violence Elimination Act might have also influenced the university’s decision to make the training mandatory.

“Even though it’s a good thing that we have it, it being the only program we have mandated for all students is certainly not enough,” Nibras said.

“There’s no room for asking

questions or getting questions answered, but it’s a good start.”

The free training teaches students about Title IX, sexual assault prevention, gender discrimination and sexual harassment, in addition to providing information on reporting an incident and where to go for help. There is an optional question-and-answer portion, and students’ answers remain anonymous.

The university contracted EverFi, which also provides its mandatory AlcoholEdu program, to provide the course for $45,000. The

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 20, 2014

Merrick Foundation, an Oklahoma-based foundation that promotes health and wellness initiatives, paid for a large portion of the program, Bird said. The office of the Vice President of Student Affairs at OSU financed the remainder.

“It’s designed for students,” she said. “It’s so students can inform themselves, educate themselves about some of the risk factors, and some of the issues around sexual violence.”

The training has two parts. The second part, which is an assessment, must be taken at least 45

days after the first and is not mandated by the university.

Information from the assessment will help evaluate the effectiveness of the program, Bird said.

“If it doesn’t change any attitudes or values, we’ll cancel that program and try to go to something else,” she said. “There’s no perfect answer, but we need to do more and we need to do our best. We’re going to pay attention and try to make it better.”

CAMPUS SAVE ACT Enacted in March 2013, the Campus Sexual Violence Elimination Act (Campus Save Act) is the most recent in a long line of laws that protect students from sexual violence and harassment.

Amended the Clery Act to mandate extensive “primary prevention and awareness programs” regarding sexual misconduct and related offenses.

Beginning Oct. 1, 2014, institutions must report compliance with the Campus Save Act in their Annual Security Reports.

The Act applies to all postsecondary institutions that participate in federal student financial assistance programs.

‘LIGHTS’ SHINE BRIGHTER IN 29TH YEAR Natalie Price @nprice42 For the almost three decades, Lights on Stillwater gathered members of the community and students of Oklahoma State University together for an evening of celebration.

Although this event has been around for almost 30 years, the first Lights on Stillwater was widely different than the event that is scheduled for Wednesday night.

Oklahoma State University’s athletic department first hosted Lights on Stillwater as a celebration of the new stadium lights on what was then Lewis field. The completion of the modern lighting system occurred just in time for the 1985 football season and for the beginning of the fall semester, according to an article on Oklahoma State’s website.

The athletic department wanted to celebrate the field’s first nighttime lighting

system and invited the community, faculty and students to view the lights.

After the first Lights on Stillwater, Campus Life started hosting the events and has since handed down the responsibility to the Student Government Association. SGA anticipates there to be about 10,000 attendees at this year’s event.

What started out as an invitation to view the new lights has grown into a large welcome back celebration for both the students and members of the community.

Ten years ago, businesses and organizations started setting up booths at Lights on Stillwater to advertise and allow new students to see what Stillwater has to offer.

For several years, the event was held on the turf in the stadium. It moved to library lawn and is now located outside Boone Pickens Stadium.

This year’s event will be outside the stadium and on the concourse level around the stadium to house 200 vendors.

SGA projects there to be about 10,000 attendees —

2,000 more than last year, according to SGA Vice President Charlie Gibson.

The amount of vendors is increasing as well. There will be 50 student organizations, eight food trucks and several churches, retail stores and nonprofit organizations.

For three years, SGA has asked attendees to bring one canned food item or one dollar as an entry fee into the event. The money and canned goods will go to the Central Oklahoma Community Action Agency in Stillwater. Last year, more than 5,000 cans were donated.

“The community really enjoys the event. Every year it gets bigger and better,” Gibson said.

Botany professor lands grant

@SavannahEvanoff

Not only known for abruptly jumping on desks during class, shushing his PowerPoint videos and calling out the names of students that have never introduced themselves, OSU botany professor Andrew Doust has also captured the heart of students with his charismatic personality and charming Australian accent.

So how did this Aussieborn professor manage to score a four-year, $3.2 million grant for his research?

Dr. Doust teamed up with research scientists and science education experts from other institutions like the University of California at Berkeley, Brigham Young University and West Virginia University to study the unique branches in grasses called tillers.

“So, what is a tiller?” asked every non-botany student ever.

“Tillers are the basal branches of grass which largely define the look of a grass, making it appear tufted,” Doust said.

Doust said understanding tillering is both basic biology and applied agronomy.

This is because branching in general is aimed at capturing as much light as possible to achieve the greatest amount of photosynthesis.

The research team accompanying Doust will be examine tillering in three domesticated crops: maize, sorghum, and foxtail millet and their wild relatives.

the environment affects the branching and productivity in grasses, they will also analyze and compare patterns of gene expression between the grasses and their wild ancestors.

“This will allow us to see what genes have been tweaked by evolution,” Doust said.

Although the grant might seem like a large chunk of money, Doust said most of the money goes to payroll.

This grant will fund undergraduate students, graduate students and postdoctorates. Doust said this is how it should be.

“I coordinate and provide leadership, they actually do the research,” Doust said.

“I’ve got to do things like teach Botany 1404.”

What is more surprising than the amount of money provided is the idea that money was provided at all.

It is clearly more than just a little difficult to get funding. The National Science Foundation gets hundreds of proposals poured in each year. Doust said many are

brilliant, but very few make the cut.

What likely stood out to the NSF was the tiered design of this research, combining thorough scientific research from multiple angles with the promotion of science education in both Oklahoma and other states.

As part of the project, the scientific researchers are teaming up with coinvestigator Dr. Julie Angle, OSU College of Education coordinator of the secondary science education program, to provide workshops on this research to Oklahoma teachers so they can experience first-hand the nature of scientific research and incorporate this into their curricula.

Dr. Doust feels that plants often get a bad reputation but are truly intriguing. He is baffled by the idea that movies like Sharknado — which he deemed “the most gloriously awful movie” he has ever seen — get more attention than plants.

Condos could come to OSU Kaelynn Knoernschild @kaelynn_k The Atherton Hotel could be the new home of exclusive campus condominiums.

With the hotel closed for renovations, Oklahoma State University might take the opportunity to build on-campus condos at the request of interested alumni.

“Several different people over the last few years had wanted to have a room that they could have during certain times of the year, reserved for them,” said Mike Buchert, direc-

tor of long range facilities planning.

Preliminary plans for the condos have been in the works for a while, but with the hotel already under construction, the plans are being considered more seriously.

The condos would be on the Southwest side of the Atherton, overlooking Library Lawn and Washington Street.

“We looked at the design, and we can incorporate somewhere between nine and 12 rooms,” Buchert said. “We are starting to put together the paperwork associated for that to contact people interested in paying money for (the condos).”

Within the next 90 days, Buchert said OSU will be seeking interested buyers to fund the project.

“We’re not going to build them unless we get money,” he said.

But purchasing one of the exclusive condos could come with a hefty price tag.

“If they give somewhere in the neighborhood of close to a million dollars, then we can talk about reserving and building those,” he said.

Buchert said buyers would have significant input on the design of the condos, but, they would be limited to working with the estimated 800 to

1,200 square feet allotted for each condo.

The condos would be available part time or full time, and Buchert said the hotel would maintain the right to rent out the condos when the buyer does not reserve them.

“Depending on how much money they give, they can stay in that room a certain number of times and then the hotel is the one who rents that out,” he said.

Buchert said that if the university is unable to secure funding for the condos, grass or a plaza will be put in place instead.
