Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

Dear Friends:

The Florida State Women's Center is in trouble.  Conservative student 
senators in the student government have appointed a women to run the center 
(it is student-run) who didn't even know the name of the organization.  One 
of their concerns is that the center does educational work on sexual 
assault, something that apparently is not important to them.

Likely, this process has been supported by groups such as the very-well 
funded International Women's Forum, which blames feminists for all the 
legislation in support of anti-sexual assault education (read: 
male-bashing) and services that has passed Congress.

The students who are fighting this decision need our support.  For more 
information, read the following articles:
