And, again, an epidemic of campus sexual assault starts anew, as it does on many campuses in the first few weeks of the fall semester. On the campus of Ohio University, for example, in the first four weeks of school, campus and local police have received about a dozen reports of sexual assault. But this year, in the midst of #MeToo, of admired public figures questioned for their past behavior toward women and when a Supreme Court justice nominee is accused of sexual assault while he was a student, this well-respected university in a small southeast Ohio town has responded with rage and, as importantly, action... https://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2018/09/25/ohio-uni... / BA OHIO 2010, BS OHIO 2010, MA Delaware 2012 Back to Top Ohio69 General User Member Since: 12/20/2004 Post Count: 3,020 Status: Offline     RE: Sexual assault on campus    Posted: 9/26/2018 4:21:44 PM  This exact article ran in USA Today as well.

These prep schools are full of kids where the parents have washed their hands of responsibility and the kids are led astray by their peers. Campuses filled with kids from these prep schools bring that culture with them but the real push is from the ring leaders. There is never any targeting of the ring leaders at these parties, only hitting everyone they can at a party with an alcohol violation.

From the article: “My mind immediately thought, 'Wow, I'm so glad people are reporting the sexual assault because I know that they happen every weekend and people just don't report them,'” said Tori Doran, a senior at OU. “Maybe it's not that our campus is getting more unsafe but that we're becoming more aware and more of an activist community.” I think this person is right. There have always been sexual assaults on college campuses. I know women who were assaulted and never reported it because they didn't want to deal with the backlash that would come with it. I'm glad Ohio University students are leading the charge to make it safer for victims to speak out.

Obviously that women are empowered to report sexual assaults is a big step forward, but the volume of reports indicates a very serious problem in Athens. 20 sexual assault reports in a single month, on a campus of 20,000 students is very troubling. Especially given that the majority of rapes still go unreported.

Looking at the pictures included with the article you posted,a number of the banners (1,3,4,5,6,7,12,14,17) look like they were pre-printed,especially when compared to the ones in the other pictures. I didn't imply anything. I don't think it matters whether the students made them themselves or not. I was just wondering,if they were in fact they were pre-printed,where they came from.

I'm just trying to understand why it matters if the students had them printed or if they drew them with a marker? And if they did have them pre-printed why does it matter what print shop they went to?

Like I said,I don't care if students made them themselves, or if they were pre-printed. My question is,if they are pre-printed,were they designed/printed locally,or are the same pre-printed banners being made available to universities and other institutions nationwide ?

Ah, see that's what I thought you meant, but it's not really what you asked before. It very much seems like this was a local idea, but who knows? Maybe George Soros is behind it.

I've been asking the same thing sine my first post. Are the banners pre-printed. If they are,where did the come from. These types of banners seem to be popping up at colleges all over,including here in northern N.J. Seems to push coincidence that everyone came up with the same "slogans" and,in some cases,fonts,colors etc independently. Don't know where you came up with Soros. Maybe you know something I don't. I was wondering if an organization like #uck Rape Culture might be spearheading this.

Well no organization is mentioned in any of the articles about it so my assumption is that you think this is some kind of secret movement?

"Secret Movement",I said just the opposite. I wondered if a group like #uck rape culture,hardly a "secret movement", might have taken the initiative to try to promote nationwide awareness of this issue. The banners in the pictures in the article,are all on Fraternity or Sorority Houses. My first thought was that this may be being spearheaded by their national organizations. Like I posted,the fact that there is sameness to a number of the banners that are popping up on college campuses around the country kind of pushes coincidence. Maybe,students at one school saw pictures of the banners,liked them and decided to copy them.

Yea, you didn't actually say that until like your fifth post. You made it sound like you were questioning the intentions and motivations of the students. It's a common tactic on the right today and Trump has embraced it, as BLSS pointed out.

My posts said absolutely nothing about questioning either the intentions or motivations of the students. Trust me,if that was my intent,it would have been crystal clear to any reader. I can't help it if you and/or others,"read into" what I posted as something beyond what I actually wrote. As far as "a common tactic on the right",its a common tactic on both the right and left.
