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.

Dear President Sullivan:
University President Teresa Sullivan addressed the University community Monday afternoon about how the administration plans to respond to rape, alcohol abuse, danger at fraternity parties and other key issues brought to light following the publication of a Rolling Stone article Nov. 19 which documented several rape allegations by University students. The conference was closed to media, but live-streamed on the University website.
You go abroad with this false hope, this foolish longing that someone will hit a pause button when your plane takes off and life at school won’t continue without you. That you’ll go back and everything will be just the same as you left it.
I do not need to rehash the events of this semester for anyone. It has been difficult for all of us. But as it comes to an end, I am left with newfound admiration for the type of people in our student body.
