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

To anyone who can help. 
The Sexual Assault Prevention and Education Office (SAPEO) at West
Virginia University is looking into starting a 24 hour student run
crisis line, specifically for sexual assault victims. If you have a
system similar to this at your university, we would appreciate
information regarding the following areas: training, funding, staffing,
structure, legal liability, donation sources (free cell phones), and
finally, tips, advice, stories of success, as well as stories of what
has gone wrong and why.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Kobe's own statement after the dismissal, which also included an 
agreement that the charges couldn't be re-filed, admits sex happened 
without her consent at the time. That's not even code for: Kobe has 
admitted that he raped the woman. 

While Kobe's actions infuriate me, the media's coverage of the dismissal 
of his trial and his admission of rape as anything but, infuriates me at 
a higher level.  Our mainstream media's depiction of the dismissal and 
Kobe's statement as a vindication for Kobe is nauseating.  The way that 
sports pages and sports programs have now shifted the discussion away 
from rape and ignoring Kobe's admission to rape to whether or not Kobe 
can get his endorsements back is also bothersome.  But not as despicable 
as the assertion that he should look for more edgy endorsements that 
will benefit from his new found appeal from 15 year old boys.  So being 
charged with rape and then admitting it might help improve Kobe's 
financial portfolio?  There's an upside for Kobe?  Why are we not 
discussing the issue of why being charged with rape gives him "edginess" 
and legitimacy among 15 year old boys.  I'm not even sure that's true, 
but it does appear that in the eyes of 40 year old retired sports 
figures, who make these assertions on these sports programs, he has 
gained legitimacy, sympathy, and support.  I think that says more about 
the retired sports figures than it does about 15 year old boys.

I do think issues of power and privilege around gender, wealth, 
celebrity, and race are all at play here.  I'm skeptical of the 
motivation of those who want to deal with one but not the others.  The 
"oppression olympics" of debating which form of oppression is most 
important is not helpful in addressing any of these forms of oppression, 
nor does it recognize the way these forms of oppression are intricately 
interwoven in our society and sustain each other.  This case seems to be 
a prime example of these complex dynamics.
