​WYNN: Don’t marginalize survivors of sexual assault

Living with the memory of a sexual assault is unimaginable to me. And as a male, it’s less likely to be something I’ll ever have to deal with. But I know that many of you live with this memory every day. Some of you do so silently, feeling you can never report your assailant to the University or to the police.

Opinion

Let them play ball
