Not many people were aware that ASMSU had indeed adopted the "It's On Us" campaign. For those that did, the outlook was generally positive. Most students were pleased that their student government was taking a leadership role and joining with other organizations in supporting this critical campaign.
Most believed that the campaign would indeed have a positive effect, especially with ASMSU's support.
However, not everyone believed so. Michigan State junior Harrison Jones said that he felt that ASMSU should not be involved in the campaign and that ultimately the campaign would be ineffective. According to Jones, "the people who are going to get behind the campaign are the people who are the people who are advocating for the stopping of sexual assault on campus." Jones also indicated that mandatory education programs would be more effective then awareness.
"I think that more required educational programs would be more effective," Jones said.
Because the campaign is less then a year old, preliminary reports on it's effectiveness will not be available for some time.
