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

[Wendy <>]

Dear colleagues;

In response to two posts I'd like to add the following:

1. Why is there so much attention on this list to the gang rape of women in 
India and nothing about the drugging gang rape of a 16 year-old girl in 
Steubenville, Ohio? The Ohio case is particularly relevant to this list 
because the men involved were high school football players, one of whom has 
moved on to college football at OSU. The story of rape drugs and athletes is 
so prevalent in higher ed, I would expect more attention to Ohio than 
India...or at least to have both stories discussed in the same space.
2. Addressing the needs of accused students under Title IX requires no 
special energy because all schools already have protocols in place to deal 
with students accused of racial and other forms of harassment and 
discrimination.  Whatever works to protect the rights of students accused of 
racist and other targeted harassment under Title VI and Title IV should apply 
to protect the rights of students accused of violating Title IX.
