YTI Career Institute recognizes the definition of consent as the following:

Consent - A knowing and voluntary agreement to engage in specific sexual activity at the time of the activity communicated through clear actions and or words that are mutually understood.

In order to be valid, Consent must be active present and ongoing.

Consent is not present when it is the result of coercion, intimidation, force, or threat of harm.

Consent is not present when an individual is in capacitated due to alcohol, drugs, or sleep, or otherwise without capacity to provide Consent due to intellectual or other disability or other condition. Consent can be withdrawn at any time and consent to one form of sexual activity is not necessarily consent to other forms of sexual activity.

When alcohol is involved, incapacitation is a state beyond drunkenness or intoxication. When drug use is involved, incapacitation is a state beyond being under the influence of or impaired by the use of a drug. Alcohol and other drugs impact each individual differently. Determining whether an individual is incapacitated requires an individualized determination. When determining whether a person has the capacity to provide Consent, the Institution will consider whether a sober, reasonable person in the same position new or should have known that the other party could or could not consent to the sexual activity.

When determining whether Consent has been provided, all the circumstances of the relationship between the parties will be considered.
