The video was based on the findings from research conducted by the department
on student-athlete culture, and student-athletes were involved in every
aspect of creating the program. Our goal was to develop a video that
depicted a realistic look at student-athlete culture and the occurrence
of sexual violence, and to use language, scenarios, and experiences to
which student-athletes can relate. Throughout the program, we approach
student-athletes as potential leaders in taking a stand against sexual
violence, rather than addressing them as potential perpetrators. Our
belief is that student-athletes are campus leaders and that they can
utilize their status to create communities that do not tolerate violence.
The video consists of a scenario involving student-athletes and sexual
violence, and all of the actors are student-athletes at Rutgers University.
There is also information and testimony provided by coaches, athletic
administrators, experts in the field of sexual violence, and student-athlete
leaders.
