2: The number of women in the list of top 20 earners employed by the University in the 2015-16 academic year
The Cavalier Daily takes a look back over the past academic year.
This year, the University community felt much grief at the loss of eight students — Margaret Lowe, Kurt Hilburger, Paul Kim, John Paul Popovich, Ceili Leahy, Quentin Alcorn, Derek Sousa and Juliana Porter. Even though these students have died, their memory and legacy lives on in the University community.
ProPublica Live: An Examination of Reporting on Rape was held April 28 in Wilson Hall and focused on the issues of sexual violence, journalistic practices and trust.
In April 2015, the University’s Response Working Group issued a report to the President’s Ad Hoc Group on University Climate and Culture with recommendations on how the University can better respond to sexual violence and support victims and survivors.
The live panel talked about reporting on sexual assault and violence.
University President Teresa Sullivan created the President’s Ad Hoc Group on University Climate and Culture in December 2014 to address and explore policies, practices and structures surrounding the issues of student safety on Grounds. The Group had three Working Groups — the Prevention Working Group, Response Working Group and Culture Working Group — to specifically address different components of these topics.
On the evening of April 18, various transphobic and racist remarks were spotted scrawled in chalk around Grounds. Many of the students who stumbled across the statements sought to scuff them out or erase them, only to see them rewritten during the course of the night. One of these statements even read, “Confused about your gender? Look down your pants.” Another message explained the wealth gap “through alleged average IQ differences between white and black people.” The racist notion that there are inherent intelligence disparities between ethnicities was originally introduced by Arthur Jensen, “the father of modern academic racism,” who wrote an article in 1969 titled “How Much Can We Boost I.Q. and Scholastic Achievement?” In the article, he claimed that a nebulous “g” or genetic factor explained the differences in scholastic achievement between white and black students. Jensen was heavily bankrolled by — in the words of the Southern Poverty Law Center — the “racist radical right,” or RRR, and his writings were used as arguments against integration.
The University has implemented several of the three working groups’ recommendations, such as making information about sexual assault policy at the University more accessible.
“ProPublica Live: An Examination of Reporting on Rape,” a discussion addressing the intersection of journalism and sexual assault, will be held Thursday, April 28 at the University.
Miller won the Pulitzer Prize for his investigation into a sexual assault case of an 18-year-old woman in Seattle
The Porcellian Club, one of Harvard’s six remaining all-male final clubs, has recently found itself at the center of the nationwide debate over space and sexual assault. Last Tuesday, the club’s Graduate Board President Charles Storey severely criticized the college’s reinvigorated efforts to make final clubs co-ed. “Given our policies, we are mystified as to why the current administration feels that forcing our club to accept female members would reduce the incidence of sexual assault on campus,” Storey wrote. “Forcing single gender organizations to accept members of the opposite sex could potentially increase, not decrease the potential for sexual misconduct.”
Last week, in the middle of the Take Back the Night’s week of events concerning sexual violence awareness, Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe signed new legislation to better protect sexual assault survivors. The bill — which will mandate the storage of rape evidence kits in the state’s Division of Consolidated Labor Services for a minimum of two years — comes after a state audit last year which found nearly 3,000 untested kits in the custody of state law enforcement agencies. According to the new law, if a survivor later reports an assault, the kit will be released to law enforcement. These new measures are commendable: failures from local law enforcement agencies to handle sexual assault cases should not be detrimental to survivors.
Gov. Terry McAuliffe signed two bills into law that establish procedures for the handling of physical evidence recovery kits for victims of sexual assault April 14.
Take Back the Night hosted a march Thursday night to raise awareness for and speak out against sexual assault.
