Sexual assault against women is a pervasive problem on college campuses in the United States (Canan, Jozkowski, & Crawford, 2018).

Factors such as adherence to traditional…

Asexuality was absent from the sexual orientation lexicon as recently as a decade ago (Bigio, Davenport, Pinder, Chevigny, & Tucker, 2011). However visibility of asexual people has been growing.

Today's modern landscape of leaders fails to accurately represent societal diversity. This inequity, as in all inequities, is not accidental, but instead the results of socially constructed norms that begin in childhood.
