Several student leaders and advocates held a press conference last month to discuss the ongoing advocacy efforts at the University to combat sexual assault.
Student leaders responded to a statement issued Friday by Rolling Stone magazine, in which managing editor Will Dana apologized to readers for "discrepancies" in an article published last month detailing the alleged gang rape in Sept. 2012 of a then-first year student Jackie by at least one member of the University chapter of Phi Kappa Psi fraternity.
“Two years ago, the Seven Society raised . . . banners as a call for unity and action at the end of a semester that had seen” similar suffering and turmoil to what we have seen on-Grounds this semester. That semester saw “hate speech, sexual assaults, and the loss of one of our own.” This one has seen similar turmoil, this time drawing national attention to our University.

Perhaps the hallmark of the first year experience at the University is the shared on-Grounds living experience. Dorm living has its perks — namely, camaraderie and support — but also has its downfalls, like long walks to Bodo’s and shared bathrooms. For many if not most students, our hallmates are the first people we meet at the University and our first friends.
Each of us belong to certain communities, bound together by shared experiences and values. Living in the bubble of the University, we are proud of the University. We honor our traditions and culture. We love Grounds, where we meet amazing peers and create unforgettable memories. We cherish the Good Ol’ Song, which we always sing loud and proud. Likewise, in the bubbles of Greek organizations, clubs and other communities, the pride of the community unites its members, fosters mutual support and cultivates lifelong friendship.
As I read the Rolling Stone article, I grew simultaneously incredulous and nauseous. I was beyond disturbed to hear of such horrifying incidents occurring at this place that I have come to love so dearly. I think that the article will prove a good thing for U.Va., first and foremost because the rape that took place at Phi Psi needs to be exposed. We must open a dialogue about changes that need to happen in order to keep U.Va. the place that it should be.
University President Teresa Sullivan hosted a reception Thursday in the Special Collections Library to discuss the issue of sexual violence at the University. The reception covered a variety of issues, including the implementation of mandatory campus safety classes for students, how to better support survivors of sexual violence as a community and the issue of alcohol and partying.
I’m a survivor and it took far too long for me to feel supported.
The Board of Visitors unanimously passed a zero-tolerance policy on sexual assault during an emergency session held Nov. 25 in response to the Rolling Stone article detailing the gang rape of a then-first-year student Jackie at a party at Phi Kappa Psi fraternity.
University Psychology Prof. Joseph Allen drafted a bill of rights for survivors of sexual assault summarizing the University’s existing policy on sexual misconduct.
Feminism is for Everyone, a student group which advocates for gender equality on Grounds, has experienced a recent upsurge in interest following the publication of the Rolling Stone article detailing the alleged gang rape of a University student.
It wouldn’t be a typical crisis at the University without a disappointing response from the Board of Visitors. At their meeting last Tuesday, Board reactions ranged from welcome but vague, such as the new “zero tolerance” resolution, to misguided, such as Stephen Long’s immediate instinct to invoke straw men who “randomly point fingers and call for heads to roll.” After this past meeting, there’s a danger that the University is headed towards milquetoast reforms that do little to the change core dynamics of the sexual assault situation. There’s no reason we should have to accept this. The University community should take a hard look at the root causes of sexual violence rather than papering over them with half-measures that will fade away as surely as the underlying problems will not.
Recently, The Cavalier Daily published an editorial entitled the “Devil is in the details.” In it, the Managing Board criticizes the human tendency to find people and things to blame in times of crisis. It highlights this problem particularly in relation to the recent outrage over sexual assault in the aftermath of the recent Rolling Stone article.
Student Council approved the creation of the Committee on Safety Programs Tuesday, under which two new programs — Student Watch and Buddies on Call — were also officially approved.
Two weeks after Rolling Stone published “A Rape on Campus,” faculty members of the College of Arts & Sciences met to discuss the article and propose possible actions to combat sexual violence at the University.
