A group of 10 bipartisan senators introduced a bill titled the Campus Accountability and Safety Act Thursday, which focuses on addressing the issue of sexual assault on college campuses.
Senator Warner discussed a new bill addressing sexual assault college campuses
Delegate Robert Bell is confident the policy will help prevent sexual assault
In what Counseling and Psychological Services Director Tim Davis has termed an “all-out blitz,” the University has been aggressively working to reduce suicide risk and build prevention efforts following a difficult fall semester, involving both Counseling and Psychological Services and Madison House in the process.
The Prevention Working Group of the President’s Ad Hoc Group on University Climate and Culture held a town hall-style meeting Monday in which students, faculty and other University community members discussed ideas about how to prevent sexual violence on Grounds.
A student’s time in college can be at once the best and worst years of his life. While students experience newfound freedom, friendships and a multitude of unique experiences found only on college campuses, they also become vulnerable to the hidden dangers that lurk beneath the excitement. Loneliness arises as old high school friends fade from the social scene, and stressful schoolwork puts a tremendous burden on students who are used to being at the top of their class. Job searches and decisions such as which major to pick have consequences that will echo throughout students’ lives and are additional sources of worry at a time when students may not have family or close friends for comfort. Mental illnesses such as depression find fertile ground amid these conditions, when students are alone and susceptible to their dangers.
Today, the University Board of Elections will release the results of student elections for the next academic year, including who will become the next Honor Committee representatives. With this transition in leadership, based on our conversations with candidates during endorsement interviews, Honor will likely take a stronger role in broader conversations happening around Grounds, aiming to serve as the collective moral compass of our school. We encourage the new Committee, instead, to first focus on strengthening its response to the moral precepts within its purview — lying, cheating and stealing.
Last week, author Caryl Phillips read a section of his new novel “The Lost Child” to an audience on Grounds.
Update
Sexual assault has firmly grounded itself in the forefront of Virginia policy-making after the tragic murder of second-year College student Hannah Graham and the scathing remarks from the Rolling Stone article last semester. Currently, a mad scramble to pass preventative legislation has overtaken the Virginia General Assembly, with new ideas and new bills being churned out at a rapid pace. While many bills have passed both houses of the General Assembly with little contention, including mandatory reporting of sexual assault to a college’s Title IX Coordinator, one bill — for good reason — has not had quite the unanimous reception.
UN Women, Women’s Health Virginia @ UVA and Student Global AIDS Campaign jointly hosted a talk on global health and gender-based violence Wednesday.
The Asian Student Union and the Asian Pacific American Leadership Training Institute invited students to weigh in on the issue of sexual assault in minority communities.
The definition of rape, as written by state law, has evolved significantly in the past century. What was originally defined as the “unlawful sexual intercourse with a woman against her will” — requiring lack of consent and evidence of resistance — has been expanded to be gender unspecific on the part of both the victim and perpetrator. Additionally, evidence of resistance is no longer required, and marital rape has been fostered into the law.
Student Council met in the Law School Tuesday to hear from a representative from the Student Bar Association, as well as members of University Information Technology Services.
Four political activists arrested on the steps of Phi Kappa Psi fraternity in November pled guilty to trespassing charges last week in Charlottesville General District Court. All four participants are from Louisa County, Virginia.
In the latest push for legalizing firearms on campus — something we have previously argued against — lawmakers in at least 10 states are arguing allowing students to carry firearms will protect them against the dangers of sexual assault. This is a veiled attempt at pushing a pro-gun agenda, and demonstrates a complete misunderstanding about sexual assault at colleges on the part of these representatives.
Forget the fact that “50 Shades of Grey” is an awful piece of filmmaking and that I almost left within the first ten minutes. Forget that its script is laughable, its actors’ chemistry unbearably dull, and that its supposed sexiness is about as sexy as an itchy wool turtleneck.
One brisk day in the winter of 1997, a holiday — or, rather, anti-holiday — was born. The sitcom “Seinfeld” aired an episode in which George Costanza reveals his family celebrates “Festivus,” invented by his father as a way to counter “the commercialism of the December holidays.” Festivus upends conventional holiday customs such as colorful decorations and merriment by including as a centerpiece a bare metal “Festivus pole” and, more importantly, encouraging an “airing of grievances” where “each person lashes out at others and the world about how they have been disappointed in the past year.”
The 2015 University-wide student elections will take place Feb. 20 through Feb. 26. Among other positions, students will be able to vote for the 27 Honor Committee representatives for each of the different schools at the University.
A recent article in The Cavalier Daily misses key points about three tabled Virginia House bills that would have allowed students accused of non-academic misconduct at Virginia’s public colleges to hire attorneys for campus hearings.
