Kaitlyn Schallhorn discovers some intimate probing in the name of “social justice”:
Does the university need to know if I had oral or normal sex in the last three months after I’ve been drinking alcohol or using drugs recreationally, or if I used a condom during? They don’t need to know that for a gender equality questionnaire.
Because modern academia still isn’t sufficiently creepy.
Sex Stasi.

This sort of thing will stop immediately the moment parents close their checkbooks and refuse to finance their children's attendance at Clemson.

"This sort of thing will stop immediately the moment parents close their checkbooks and refuse to finance their children's attendance at Clemson."
As if. The parents are dull, shallow slorks without principles or guts.

“The questions are a part of the training so that you may get a sense of the behaviors and experiences of other Clemson students,” an email from the university to one student, obtained by Campus Reform, said.
Except, of course, only one strictly prescribed form of "behavior" (sic) is permissible.
Their way or the highway.

“We believe you’ll enjoy the assignment,” the email, provided to Campus Reform, reads. “It is an engaging and informative online course, created with students for students.
I think I see the problem here. A lack of adult supervision of the adults supervising.

I guess anal sex is part of the normal. Tell me quickly that it is not part of the oral meme.

@Jamie.
Some are, no doubt. Some of us, however, told our offspring, "You may attend any college you wish. Here's a list, however, of those colleges, to which I'm willing to write a check. Choose wisely."
It's worked out rather well, actually.

And BTW, I saw Sex Stasi in a triple bill with Falco and Nena in 1984.

"Does the university need to know if I ..."
As the computer in 'The Forbin Project' noted 'Need... not want!'

If another student was asking the same questions they'd call it sexual harassment.

“I don’t know what they’re doing with the data, but I’ve been told time and time again that the data that they are collecting, they aren't analyzing or using the data for anything, so then I don’t understand why they’re asking the questions either,” the student, who wished to remain anonymous for fear of retribution from the university, went on to say.
Progressives or just perverts?

'I have already received no less than a dozen calls from highly-ranked and powerfully-placed individuals in the university to tell me to fill out this invasive survey. But the joy of my right to privacy is that I can, and am, indeed, required according to my own rights as an individual, to tell them to fuck off'.
That's the answer right there.

Oooooh, "intimate probing"...

Ehhhnnn, no Dingo, that'd be more for the hands on workshop when in class, I'd think. No matter what Zoot's been telling you.
Rather, given the scale that the idiots are attempting to emulate, I'd say clearly The Comfy Chair.

And then an earlier form of academia provides further brilliance.
