College rape is an American epidemic. One in four college women will be sexually assaulted on her path to a higher education. The stage is set for universities across the nation to take a stance on sexual assault and, according to 24 students who filed a complaint against the school, Columbia University is failing its students.
One in five women is assaulted during her time on a college campus. The college rape epidemic is finally capturing headlines after years of relative silence on the issue, and some of the worst offenders are feeling pressured to take action. Colleges and universities, just like everywhere else, should be safe places for women, and the fact that women have been struggling on multiple fronts with sexism in academia and rampant rape culture on campus is disgusting. It’s also a telling comment on the value of women in society; women who are paying a great deal of money for an education are still treated like disposable baubles set on campus for the pleasure and entertainment of men.
A study of college campuses found that one in five undergraduate women is a victim of sexual assault. The trauma from sexual assault prevents victims from attending class, studying, and pursuing an education. Going through a college’s sham investigation into the assault makes matters much worse and compounds the injury. In recognition of this, the Department of Education has informed colleges that the failure to appropriately address sexual assault on campus violates Title IX and puts colleges at risk of losing federal funding. WSU is one of those colleges.
Researchers believe that college rape prevention programs, including the most widely used ones, are insufficient. Most rapes are unreported, perhaps giving campus administrators and police the false impression that current efforts are adequate. In addition, campus police may be influenced by college administrators who fear that too strong an emphasis on the problem may lead potential students and their parents to believe that rape occurs more often at their college than at others.
Women and even men can be raped on a college campus. The easiest way to reduced the amount of rapes in colleges is for them to carry some non lethe self defense weapon like the Little Viper Non-Lethel Self-Defense Pepper Spray Bracelet. Other pepper sprays on the market will only be advantageous if you are carrying them. That means you have to always be ‘on guard’ with it in your hand and how many of us can be holding pepper spray all the time? That’s why the Little Viper solves that problem. it is your own personal chaperone! An adjustable bracelet to wear any time and without having to even think about it! Don’t be caught off guard and not be able to reach for your pepper spray!! Wear the Little Viper, ready to protect you at any moment!
Sexual assault is a very serious issue that is prevalent and traumatic. For survivors, it can mean a lifetime of working to regain a life once known before the assault and it can negatively impact the lives of friends and family who care about them. But healing is possible and there is a lot we all can do to support them.
Sexual assault is not black and white. There are intricacies and different attitudes that complicate the issue, and unless we all work in a concerted effort to change the widespread ignorance and misunderstanding, sexual assault will continue to occur and attract acceptance among college students.
Sexual assault cases are among the hardest crimes to investigate in all of law enforcement. Clearance rates are low because, often, there are no witnesses, memories are impaired by intoxicants, or victims are reluctant to testify. But if anyone is going to resolve such cases, it will be the police and district attorney offices, not college officials.
Sexual assault in the university setting is a serious matter. People like Lena cheapen the stories of real victims and are in fact working against progress in this matter. I’m glad that Kopin finally released a statement, I just hope that people will recognize it and that every effort will be made by the Brown Daily Herald to rectify the wrong it has done.
Rape and sexual assault are a very serious issues and I do applaud anyone who brings to light the flaws of the university and legal system when it comes to these cases. This is an ongoing struggle for women everywhere and is worthy of our attention. But to use assuming language about a specific case and about a specific person who has so far been found guilty of nothing in a court of law is a terrible, sad thing to do.
It’s a national problem that makes it tough for law enforcement and education leaders to form a clear picture of how sexual violence affects college campuses. It’s also a problem that has lawmakers and others questioning whether colleges are doing enough to help students come forward — regardless of whether they were assaulted on or off campus.
