For anyone who thought the Cornell case in the news would deter fraternities into better behavior… They’re still as violent as ever. They may even act with more impunity as they watch people tie themselves into knots to justify their continued existence.

ICE murdered Johan Sebastian Guerrero in our backyard. He wasn’t the target of an investigation. He was driving to work. He had a three-year old daughter. ICE shot and killed him. Senator Collins must be held accountable for funding this terror.

Opinion: Vote Yes on Measure RTM to avoid dramatic cuts to BART and AC Transit in Berkeley
Measure RTM is needed to keep the Bay Area moving. If it fails to pass, BART could go into a tailspin and AC Transit would see severe service cuts.

I think the general public tends to believe that a university president who says something like that means that the school is going to see the error in their ways and radically change their approach. But I have never seen that happen. They really mean that they should get status for protecting men.

I’ve finally had some time to read the NYT interview with the Cornell president. It is so typical of a university to say that mishandling a rape case should make them into a leader for how other schools handle rape cases. It’s such a tell that they’re in a race to the bottom.

Wow, this is infuriating! Having more rooms on campus isn’t going to reduce rape if the perpetrator chooses to be in the same one as the victim, and having more chairs in a room isn’t going to stop the perpetrator from sitting in the one next to the victim.

YES. And it so obviously opens the door to victim blaming. “It’s not his fault because there wasn’t a chair” will so quickly turn into “it’s her fault for not using the chair.”

I’ve spoken to a number of school administrators who participated in a Sexual Citizenship consultation. They have overwhelmingly told me that the approach left real anti-violence experts on campus without a spot at the table. Many worried it gave their schools an out to do nothing at all.

But the thing is—we already know that nicer student housing doesn’t reduce sexual violence. There are big disparities in the quality of student housing available at different schools. There is no corresponding difference in sexual assault rate.

Sexual Citizens the book became Sexual Citizenship the program. Schools—including Cornell—have spent a massive amount of money to discuss new construction as a solution to sexual assault. It is specifically framed as a solution to pursue *in lieu of* expelling perpetrators.

In many ways, it felt like the findings of the study were determined in advance. I watched for years as Shamus spoke publicly about the project—even while the student research assistants who actually conducted interviews for the project raised concerns that the findings didn’t match the data.

The researchers leading the project were not previously big names in campus sexual violence research. Shamus Khan had no experience studying sexual assault at all. At the symposium, I watched experts try to communicate to him that sexual violence is gender-based. He rejected that framing.

I’ve been biting my tongue on this one. But I’m just going to come out and say it: The Sexual Citizenship approach is the next era of symbolic compliance for campus sexual violence. It’s trying to solve sexual violence by putting more chairs in dorm rooms. Literally.

Student debt is at the heart of why campus sexual violence derails victims’ lives too. The primary reason victims drop out of college is because they are encouraged to take temporary leaves of absence—and then they can’t return until they are current on student loan payments.
