The campus student news publication wrote in a recent editorial that the university’s Title IX system is badly flawed when it comes to protecting survivors.
The University of Alaska Southeast’s student news publication says the Juneau campus and its Title IX office aren’t doing enough to protect students from sexual assault.
AJ Schultz, the publication’s student editor, said the editorial was a response to a long-running problem. “Me — and everybody else on Whalesong and everybody else who has been coming to the listening sessions — we’re just trying to push mainly the Board of Regents to create stronger support systems across the entire university network that exists for survivors trying to go through the grievance process safely for their physical and mental health,” he said.
“I do think that these are issues that probably have been kind of collecting under the surface for quite a while, it definitely precedes me,” she said. “By no means are we done in terms of how we already responded there is more to do,” she said. “I come to you today as chancellor to ask for your continued support and advocacy in regard to Title IX.”
