In order to be consensual, both parties must be able to freely consent, which cannot occur if one party is incapacitated or severely intoxicated, or if there is a power dynamic between the two parties. Any individual or groups found in violation of this policy may be removed from Omaha Lit Fest events and banned from re-entering.
