The Doily Allergen: Sexual Misconduct PSA

“UI Assures Student Body They’re Doing Something To Resolve This” is a headline we’ve run several times. I came up with it after a scandal in Fall 2021 with unreported rapes at a fraternity on campus and the university only suspending the frat for a semester.

This headline now runs anytime the student body gets an email addressing a sexual assault on campus. The idea is that over time, the criticism gets more and more poignant since it keeps happening and the university is still “doing something to resolve it.”

This article was originally published in The Doily Allergen, September 27, 2021. It was also published October 15, 2021. And October 19, 2021. And March 1, 2022. Also more times since I graduated. I for one can't wait to see what the University comes up with.
