As with many criminal acts, the aspects of sexual harassment may be confusing to understand for people with little to no background in legal jargon. One of the most important things to know is that it can take place anywhere, including at college and the workplace. When it comes to identifying healthy interactions, Beth Mensing, comprehensive sexual health educator at Planned Parenthood, believes recurring education is vital.

Illinois definition: unwelcome conduct of sexual nature
Sexual assault is a complex and horrible issue. It is personal, it is heartbreaking and it is different in every case. But if we ever
want to put an end to sexual assault, we have to stop letting its complexity get in our way. This is the ninth story in a
“I think there should be something available every year, K-12, that’s addressing healthy relationships, consent, decision-making,” Mensing said in a previous Iowa State Daily article. Iowa State’s Office of Institutional Research reported in fall 2016 that among the 30,671 undergraduate students, 26,590 students were from either Iowa or bordering states. But not all states have the same laws. How law enforcement addresses sexual harassment in Ames and surrounding cities likely differs from how they handle it in surrounding states, as well.

City council hosts workshops for future planning By Chris.Anderson @iowastatedaily.com Ames City Council met Tuesday to host two major workshops focusing on issues facing the Ames community. The first workshop focused on the state of internet services in Ames and how to ensure Ames residents have access to the high-speed internet they desire. Four major internet service providers (ISPs) in Ames were present to speak at the workshop. Mediacom was present to showcase the technology its company offers to commercial and residential areas. Among the plans Mediacom has for Ames is a fiber network expansion downtown that would allow it to offer fiber-based internet and gigabit speeds. Mediacom is also working on expanding its gigabit speeds to residential areas in Ames. CenturyLink was also present to talk about the internet solutions it offers to Ames residents. The policy Centurylink has been implementing in Ames is that all
new developments it offers service to would receive fiber internet lines, allowing faster internet speeds. City Council member Gloria Betcher raised the question of addressing poor speeds in older neighborhoods, like the one she lives in. The ISPs present gave many reasons why internet speeds may be slower than advertised, including issues with a neighbor’s network or small animals chewing through internet lines. A Mediacom representative said the company is currently working on walking through neighborhoods and looking for “leaks,” or broken lines, and addressing whether a repair was needed. Many complaints were made regarding the reliability of these companies’ internet service, claiming the speeds they offer were not sufficient. The ISPs responded by claiming they do not do any work if there is not an adequate return on their investment, or if there is not a sufficient market demand. Betcher again criticized the companies for their policy, saying ISPs
