3. FOCUS GROUP QUESTIONS:  Do you think sexual assault is a problem on BU campus? How is it a problem and how pervasive?  How do you believe the idea of consent is understood?  How do members of a fraternity express dissatisfaction with one another? How do they stand up to each other?  If you were to design an effective sexual assault prevention program what would it look like?  Do you think men can play an important role in this process?
