Last Friday, the Virginia House of Delegates and state Senate unanimously passed legislation regarding reporting of sexual assaults at Virginia colleges and universities. The new bill requires school personnel to report evidence of a sexual assault to that school’s Title IX committee within 72 hours and also requires that any case deemed to be a felony assault be submitted to the police or for review by a local commonwealth attorney — regardless of the survivor’s wishes.

While it may seem like a resumption of normalcy after last semester’s uproar over the Rolling Stone report on sexual assault and the “Black Lives Matter” protests, the Living Wage Campaign ignited our eerily silent, snowy and slippery grounds with shouts of dissent last week. If you think the cold is bad, three years ago students in the Living Wage Campaign organized a 13-day hunger strike through the snow, rain and, of course, hunger. But the Living Wage Campaign is nothing new; it is not about trendy activism or in response to any single event. It comes out of a legacy of students putting their bodies on the line for workers’ rights, a tradition, which, if you will, is one of the University’s least publicized.

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.

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.

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.
