Students are calling for action from the leaders who are supposed to keep them safe. But earlier this month, the Department of Education made it clear that they will refuse to hear them.
. Students new to campus are most vulnerable to assault and this year both freshmen and sophomores are on campus in person for the first time, putting twice as many students at risk.advocating for student survivors, including End Rape On Campus, attempted to change that.
Almost 40 percent of survivors who report a sexual assault to their school will be pushed out of education. Many more will never report and will suffer in silence. We were met with those familiar platitudes about “urgency” and “seriousness” coupled with the deadening: “Unfortunately, we are not able to provide you with any information on our internal processes. … Our plan is to continue to implement a proposed new rule by May 2022.”What I witnessed in that meeting were student survivors and advocates making themselves vulnerable and sharing their experiences in an attempt to educate the very people in power who should already understand. I saw the failure of a system and individuals who are choosing to stand in the way of progress.
“We have seen thousands of students & advocates protest across the country, because they are fed up with the ways their campuses handle sexual assaults & the failure of people in power to hold perpetrators accountable & protect student survivors.”
