The term “student activism” brings to mind the turbulence and chaos of the 1960s. I think of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), and its heroics in organizing and participating in the marches and sit-ins of the Civil Rights movement. I think too of the more than 4.5 million students who went on strike in the aftermath of the 1970 Kent State University shootings. It’s hard to forget that the 1960s student activism movement was tinged with connotations of rampant drug use and sexual upheaval, but that is not to take away from the obvious successes of this era’s student activism.

The University relies on its Community of Trust — a “benefit” at the University that binds its students not to lie, cheat or steal — to protect one another when we perceive something wrong. We are obligated by this trust and honor regardless of our geographic location. But its locus is on our Grounds and the immediately surrounding areas. And we have violated the Community of Trust.

A New York Times investigation into the experiences of sexual assault survivors at Florida State University revealed that many student survivors who report their assaults to the police end up being dismissed as “uncooperative.” One example cited in the Times article involved a woman who reported her rape to the Tallahassee police. When she subsequently said she was unsure whether she wanted to prosecute the perpetrator, an officer wrote she was “unwilling to cooperate” and closed the case.

Online comments are frustrating. One of the better rules of the internet is “don’t read the comments.” Most often, it seems, comments are either useless or tangential to the topic of the main piece. Sometimes, comments are outright hostile, purposefully racist and/or sexist or simply mean with no redeeming information or opinion offered. In those cases, having a comment section at all seems like an awful idea. The promise of comments, though, is why they continue to exist. At their best, comments sections in news publications offer a forum for interaction and conversation informed by a shared knowledge of the topic of the article or op-ed being commented upon. Losing the opportunity for good interaction would be unfortunate. And so, ultimately, comments sections will continue to exist. What we should do away with are anonymous comments.

On Monday the NCAA announced it would lift Pennsylvania State University’s sanctions two years sooner than expected. Penn State is now permitted to play in Bowl games, and all of their football scholarships have been restored. Former Senator George J. Mitchell, who was hired to supervise Penn State in the aftermath of the Sandusky scandal, recommended the NCAA lift the sanctions because the university had made progress, and the football players did not deserve to be punished for the mistakes of others.

A Swiss university is walking a shaky line of legality by advertising an assistant professor position only to women. According to Inside Higher Ed, the dean of the school said this “aggressive” approach is necessary because women currently comprise only 11 percent of the faculty.

Student self-governance is unique to our University and one of its most compelling features, but, as I have argued before, there are situations that merit its limitation. One such situation is the adjudication of sexual misconduct cases, overseen by the University’s Sexual Misconduct Board (SMB).
