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.”

To quote a recent Jezebel article written by a University alumna, “Everyone’s ready to move on.” The entire University community was under the microscope last semester, with perhaps the most scrutinized institution being Greek life. Despite the emotional toll that the Rolling Stone article and its aftermath took on our community, we must remain in dialogue about how to move forward.
Archie Holmes, vice provost for educational innovation and interdisciplinary studies, spoke to Student Council Tuesday about the 2015 Student Experience in the Research University survey.
The worst trauma I experienced was not when one of my ex-boyfriend’s fraternity brothers tried to rape me at a date function. The worst trauma I experienced was seven months later, when I had a trigger while having sex with my ex-boyfriend, and he left.
University Contracted Independent Organization One Less presented the Teach Safe Relationships Act bill with Virginia Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine to the U.S. Senate Tuesday Feb. 3. Members of One Less worked with Kaine to craft the bill.
The Virginia House of Delegates recently passed legislation which aims to aid survivors of sexual assault and protect students on college campuses.
In the past two weeks there has been incredible backlash against the decision by the national leaders of every sorority at the University to forbid girls from going out on Boys Bid Night. This command was given to sorority members through a formal letter, and the national leaders refused to engage in any sort of conversation about the ruling, even after many students requested a discussion. While I am not in a sorority, many of my friends are, and I was flooded with requests to sign a petition stating that sorority members should be allowed to go out for Boys Bid Night. The writers of the petition insisted the mandate was a violation of their rights and a suggestion “that women should not and cannot exist in certain spaces.”
Jesse Matthew has been indicted on the counts of first degree murder and abduction with the intent to defile in connection with the disappearance and death of second-year College student Hannah Graham, the Albemarle County Police Department and Albemarle County Commonwealth’s Attorney announced at a joint press conference Tuesday morning.

Starting Mar. 30, one of the most prestigious Ivy League universities in America will ban all hard liquor on campus. President Philip Hanlon of Dartmouth College announced the decision Thursday as part of the “Moving Dartmouth Forward” program that aims to provide a safer learning environment and alleviate issues of sexual assault and binge drinking that have plagued the school in recent years. Specifically, the plan will attempt to stop the possession and consumption of any alcohol above 30 proof, regardless of age. Garnering the attention of the national media, Hanlon’s decision has been met with both high praise and strong criticism, including a critique from the Managing Board of this very publication.
After a fall semester like the one our community has lived through this year, Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel’s words hit close to home: “In… a free society, only some are guilty, but all are responsible.” As clergy members who work with students at the University, we feel this responsibility too. No one is immune to the effects of sexual violence, which ravages not only individual bodies and lives but also the trust and well-being of communities like ours. This is a cultural problem that affects students and groups throughout the University — Greek life, sports teams, political clubs, Dean’s listers and those of us in religious organizations.

In the movie “Star Trek: Insurrection,” the Federation, secretly in cahoots with the renegade Son’a, is planning to surreptitiously transport 600 Ba’ku off of their planet in order to make use of the rejuvenating rays of the planet’s rings. In response to Captain Picard’s protest that the involuntary relocation of the Ba’ku is immoral, the Federation’s Admiral Dougherty replies haughtily: “Jean-Luc, we’re only moving 600 people.” In Abrahamic fashion, Picard counters: “How many people does it take, Admiral, before it becomes wrong? A thousand? Fifty thousand? A million?”
