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.

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.”

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 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?”

One of the most important things about the information we get from a news article is where that information comes from. The Cavalier Daily reporters don’t always do a good job of explaining their sources and in many cases simply don’t use enough sources or the right kinds of sources to give readers a complete picture. I’ll use recently published news pieces to illustrate the kinds of problems I think The Cavalier Daily runs into in its news reporting.
