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

Hey all -

I have been hearing more and more lately about students "bullying" other 
students by announcing or telling the public they are a rape survivor.  I've 
seen this done verbally but also via facebook, AIM, twitter, etc.  We have 
seen this being done by friends of the perpetrator, and really mocking it, as 
well as by sorority women, and others.

As of right now, the students don't have any way of holding these people 
accountable - doesn't fit the law or our current code of conduct.  Have your 
campuses dealt with this in any specific way?  Have you seen policies that 
include this as part of a code of conduct?

thanks!
