Stanford students are demanding the school take action after two highly publicized rapes on campus in recent months
STANFORD — Following two highly publicized reports of sexual assault on campus in recent months, hundreds of Stanford students on Friday marched to the main quad to protest what they say is the university’s lackluster efforts to prevent future rapes.
Sofia Scarlat, a sociology student and member of Sexual Violence Free Stanford who organized the event, said the protest Friday was to demand action from administrators. The students also want Stanford to make an initial financial commitment of no less than $1 million to ensure that trainers are hired immediately and to provide for the program’s ongoing success.
Sexual violence prevention advocates like Scarlat have said they routinely receive reports of assaults on campus from women living in dorms or attending parties — part of a nationwide scourge of sexual assault and harassment in higher education. But the two recent rape cases have stood out for their brazen, and violent, nature.
