I've gotten a lot of requests from faculty about how to talk to their students about the Cornell 7. I'll post a few resources I've built over the years that I've heard are the most helpful:

I’m seeing a lot of posts about talking to your sons in light of the Cornell article. And yes. Talk to your sons. Here are some things you should say, based on anti-violence research about what they need to hear:

If you’re a survivor who wants your rapist removed from whatever social institution introduced you, that’s an okay thing to want. A lot of other survivors want it too. And in a different timeline, there wouldn’t be so many people shaming you for saying it out loud.

That tactic gave quiet misogynists a “moral” reason to justify their public support of rapists at the expense of survivors. Once again, survivors who wanted their perpetrators gone were “vengeful” and “man haters.” But it was okay if the misogyny was directed at “white women.”

While we’re talking about campus sexual violence, I want to revisit the recent history of a topic where we have seen some of the biggest backslides: Expelling rapists from school.

Today, there is still a lingering sense that expelling a rapist is a bridge too far. It’s hard to grapple with how far we’ve backslid since 2013. For a minute there, it really felt like there was widespread acceptance for the idea that schools should be safe.

Sometimes all it takes is a change of perspective. Instead of saying, “I failed,” try saying, “I learned something I didn’t know before.” Not everything that goes wrong is a step backwards. Sometimes it’s simply a lesson that helps us take the next step forward.

I had a conversation a couple of years ago with a woman who went to an elite university thirty years ago. She told me about the pain of watching the men who raped her friends ascend to power and dismantle women’s rights. It was clarifying for me. Expulsion of rapists is harm reduction.

the horrific cornell gang rape case has me thinking about emma sulkowicz who alleged she was raped as a student at columbia in 2014 and never got any justice. it has me thinking about the physical and mental weight young women are forced to carry while their safety is subsumed by male potential.

There were more men in a single documented gang rape at one school than the number of competitive trans athletes nationally. But I’ve heard a lot more politicians being asked about protecting girls from one of these scenarios and not another… I’ll let you guess which is which.

Kat is right about all of this. One of the reasons that college sexual violence is uniquely devastating is because it changes the victim’s entire future.

One of my goals in writing this book was to get a copy in every college library so that survivors entering the Title IX system would know what they were getting into—and be able to use that knowledge however they wanted. But a lot of schools banned the book.

One of the communications I treasured from my tenure as a university counselor and counseling center director was a note from a student that said how much it meant that our staff believed her and attended the campus judicial board hearing with her.

Also please support the work of Katie Koestner, survivor, and Executive director of Takebackthenight.org Much like the current situation, it took civil action on her part in 1990 to seek justice.
