March 1st, 2021

OVERVIEW

Expressing that University is in support of and will implement the following demands submitted by 16,000 Strong Committee, Mental Health Committee, Campus Survivors, the College of Arts & Sciences Student Government, and It’s on Us – BU.

Whereas, we, student organizations of , strive to form a more perfect community, to maintain a platform for survivors and students’ voices, to protect survivors’ rights and provide solutions to issues deemed necessary, to develop a sense of responsibility for the welfare of our University, and to serve as a liaison between survivors and the Administration;

Whereas, the issue of catcalling, sexual harassment, sexual assault, and sexual violence has occurred without substantial policy change at Boston University for years;

Whereas, an inadequate response rate of 13.4% completed the 2019 Association of American Universities Campus Climate Sexual Assault and Misconduct.1 The results of the survey demonstrate a need for continued improvement: only 52.1% of the responding students indicated that it was ‘very’ or ‘extremely’ likely an investigation in response to a report of sexual assault or misconduct would be fair.

Of TGQN responding students, 38.9% perceived sexual assault as ‘very’ or ‘extremely’ problematic at Boston University, and 15.2% indicated they consider it ‘very’ or ‘extremely’ likely that they will experience a sexual assault in the future while enrolled at Boston University.

Only 25.9% reported being ‘very’ or ‘extremely’ comfortable approaching faculty or staff for advice. Only 23.1% reported that they perceive school officials at Boston University to be ‘very’ or ‘extremely’ concerned about their well-being.

Among undergraduate students, 28.9% of women and 9.3% of men reported some type of nonconsensual sexual contact. 22.6% of TGQN responding students reported nonconsensual sexual contact. Overall, 36.5% of responding students indicated that they experienced at least one type of harassing behavior since starting at Boston University;

Whereas, Sexual Assault Response & Prevention Center (SARP) at Boston University was created by student activism. Formally established on May 3rd, 2012, Boston University students spoke out against the current events and culture that excused attackers making students feel unsafe both on and off campus. By creating this center, Boston University proved a commitment to student safety and wellbeing;

Whereas, although Campus Survivors was established less than a year ago, more than 100 anonymous accounts of sexual violence specific to Boston University have been reported.2 An overwhelming amount of accounts showcase a distrust in Boston University services, organizations, and Departments. The process currently in place to protect survivors has failed an overwhelming number of survivors;

Whereas, over 600 Boston University students protested in support of survivors, demanding acknowledgement of these issues, and an email template outlining our first 5 demands (Appendix A) was sent to the Boston University President and Administration on February 8th, 2021;

Whereas, the Boston University Administration has failed students, survivors, and the community by releasing unofficial, inadequate statements which do not commit to any necessary changes or action plans (Appendixes B & C);

Whereas, members of our Boston University community, including students (Appendix D), alumni and family (Appendix E), and, faculty and staff (Appendix F), have expressed legitimate grievances against the University in their insufficient efforts to aid survivors and are in agreement with the following list of demands;

Whereas, currently, 108 Boston University student organizations (Appendix G) have come together expressing their support for survivors and the following list of demands;

Whereas, the following news sources have documented our movement, gaining community attention, in order to bring the Administration’s attention to current issues at Boston University: Boston University Today, , the Boston Political Review, CBS, , and WTBU (Appendix H);

Whereas, a Town Hall on Tuesday February 23rd, 2021 was held by the student organizations in order to reflect on previous demands, the wellbeing, concerns, and voice of survivors, and tangible next steps to better the Boston University community;

Whereas, in order to change the existing culture of sexual assault and harassment at Boston University, immediate demonstrative support, change, and action from the Administration and Boston University Community is necessary;

Be it resolved, that Boston University supports, officially endorses, and will implement the list of demands outlined below by the 2021 fall semester.

3 CONTENT/TRIGGER WARNING – SEXUAL ASSAULT & SEXUAL HARRASSMENT

LIST OF DEMANDS

1. Public Statement Acknowledging the prominent issue of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment at Boston University. [Context: Boston University has failed to publicly acknowledge or issue a statement regarding sexual assault on campus. This is an issue and an insult to survivors, especially considering that the Boston University Instagram account (@bostonu) follows the @campus.survivors account, and Faculty are included in survivors’ experiences.]

2. Implement A Zero-Tolerance Policy: Faculty a. Boston University must take punitive action against Professors, Teaching Assistants, and Faculty members with a history or prevalence of sexual assault violations. Failure to do so perpetuates Boston University’s legacy of condoning sexual violence. i. Faculty from the following departments that have been publicly mentioned as predatory or dangerous on Campus Survivors: Chemistry, COM, CFA, Economics, English, Neurobiology, and Neuroscience departments. b. Any Faculty member that receives an allegation should automatically require an investigation. i. These cases should be thoroughly investigated and if the assailant is found guilty, their employment should be immediately terminated regardless if Faculty has tenure. ii. If a Faculty member has been found guilty of sexual violence or harassment, there must be a written acknowledgement on their record explicitly stating the reason for their dismissal. c. If a Faculty member has any sexual assault or harassment accusation against them, there should be a representative from Sexual Assault Response & Prevention (SARP) present in the classroom to monitor the professor. d. In Faculty member’s signing contract for their position, they must sign a written statement acknowledging the zero-tolerance policy and completing the annual prevention training; and, any form of sexual harassment or assault verdict will result in termination.

3. Implement A Zero Tolerance Policy: Students & Student Organizations a. Boston University must take a zero-tolerance policy on sexual assault and harassment perpetrated by student organizations. These cases should be thoroughly investigated and if the assailant is found guilty, they should be dismissed from the University. Failure to do so perpetuates Boston University’s legacy of condoning sexual violence.

4 CONTENT/TRIGGER WARNING – SEXUAL ASSAULT & SEXUAL HARRASSMENT

b. If the organization has a culture of promoting sexual assault and/or sexual violence, then they should be dismantled. Boston University must be assertive and re-evaluate the existence of organizations which put students in danger. i. Have the following groups changed their culture around sexual assault and sexual harassment? Groups that have been publicly mentioned as predatory or dangerous on Campus Survivors include: BU on Broadway, Kappa Sigma, Stage Troupe, Student Government, and Pi Kappa Alpha. c. Upon a student signing their admission agreement to Boston University, they must also sign a written statement acknowledging the zero-tolerance policy; and, any form of sexual harassment or assault verdict will result in expulsion. i. Assailants should not be allowed back on campus ever. Boston University must enforce restraining orders, and prioritize survivors’ mental, emotional, and physical health. Survivors should not have to change their living situation because of assailants.

4. Anonymous Reporting & Strike System a. Currently, Boston University Police Department has a form3 or number to report suspicious activities (847411). All reports detailing sexual assault occurrence and prevalence should be watched and surveilled 24/7. If a student organization is involved, they should be held accountable and restricted from gathering until their hearing. b. The Student Activities Office must monitor organizations with a history. If an organization is found to allow a culture of sexual assault and harassment, the following three strike policy should be implemented: i. Strike I: 1. Club is banned from gathering/hosting events for 30 days and a formal investigation will occur; Student Activities Office will monitor and restrict financials. 2. Every club member must redo their Sexual Assault training prevention; and an action plan must be created to ensure sexual violence will not be repeated within the organization. 3. If they do not receive another strike within 2 years, the strike will be removed, and the club can operate without direct oversight of SAO. ii. Strike II: 1. If a club receives two strikes within 2 years, they will complete all the requirements with Strike I; but, they will be banned from gathering/hosting events for an entire semester. 2. They will be demoted financially by a “road.” (i.e. Bay State to Deerfield).

5 CONTENT/TRIGGER WARNING – SEXUAL ASSAULT & SEXUAL HARRASSMENT

3. If the club does not receive a third strike within 4 years, the strikes will be removed, and the club can operate without direct oversight of SAO. iii. Strike III: 1. Organization is dismantled and removed from Boston University.

5. Expand Sexual Assault Response & Prevention Center’s Resources a. Out of all Boston University resources offered to survivors, SARP offers the most cohesive support. Given this positive aspect, Boston University must expand SARP to include more services and diverse counselors. This enables SARP to help more survivors, calm fears, and reduce interactions with BUPD. b. Create a cross-sub-department within Judicial Affairs and Dean of Students, which would communicate, work, and handle sexual violence cases together. i. This department would be trained annually by an approved sexual violence training organization. Judicial affairs would learn a) how best to handle cases of sexual violence, b) conduct judicial hearings with an understanding of trauma/PTSD, and c) if survivor permits, consult with the survivor’s advisor on how best to move forward with accommodations. c. The Boston University Police Department must be re-trained by SARP advisors on how to better handle reports of sexual assault. i. Similar to students and Faculty, this training must be held annually. d. Currently, once a student files a sexual misconduct complaint, a Title IX Coordinator, Dean of Students, or the Office of Judicial Affairs “will review the allegations and determine the necessity and scope of any supportive measures to prevent further acts of harassment, misconduct, or retaliation and to provide a safe educational and work environment.” i. Instead of determining the supportive measures, Boston University should support and allow survivors to choose what they find most hopeful and effective in healing from their experience. ii. If Boston University continues to make the decision on which supportive measures can be offered, SARP and the sub-committee must be consulted to represent the students' wishes.

6. Increased Diversity (i.e. BIPOC & LGBTQ+ individuals) in Judicial Affairs a. Due to the intensive topics and decisions made by Judicial Affairs, a wide diversity of individuals is needed to best understand and work in the interest of survivors. This can include experts in sexual assault, sociology, social work, and those who are trauma informed. b. There has been a history of victim blaming and lack of empathy from Judicial Affairs and the Boston University Administration. This must stop.

6 CONTENT/TRIGGER WARNING – SEXUAL ASSAULT & SEXUAL HARRASSMENT

i. Questions during Judicial Affairs hearings should be reevaluated such as “what were you wearing?” These questions are inherently problematic and lead to a mentality of blaming survivors. There should be a sense of support and understanding, not judgement, amongst those working in Judicial Affairs.

7. Create a Sexual Harassment, Assault, Violence & Prevention Committee a. The committee must be comprised of at least 50% students to ensure that student and survivors’ voices are heard. The following organizations should be contacted if they would like representation in the committee: 16,000 Strong Committee, BIPOC Mental Health Collective, BU Queer Activist Collective, Campus Survivors, Mental Health Committee, It’s on Us, Student Government, UMOJA: The Black Student Union. b. The President should (at minimum) monthly meet with the committee to ensure student voices are heard. If willing, SARP will help advise the committee. c. The objective of this committee will be addressing and creating solutions to Boston University’s sexual harassment, assault, and violence issues; along with reviewing training and prevention material.

8. Alter and Improve the Sexual Assault Intervention Orientation. a. There needs to be more information about predatory behaviors outside of parties, when and how to intervene. Additionally, it should provide students with resources other than SARP, warning signs of manipulative relationship behavior, and discuss that Boston University has a zero-tolerance policy. i. Orientation should not encourage dramatization, but serve to be as effective as possible in educating students.

9. Boston University should reference other local resources along with SARP a. These resources include but are not limited to: BARCC, RAINN, Network/La Red, Beth Israel. Similar to how SARP is marketed, they should be posted throughout the school. b. To ensure awareness of outside Boston University crisis organizations, Professors, Teaching Assistants, and ResLife can help advertise these resources each semester.

10. Improve Sexual Misconduct Prevention Training: Faculty a. The current sexual assault awareness training is not effective in education or prevention. With the guidance of SARP, we suggest Boston University fix these issues. b. This training must be annual, and is required before faculty can offer courses for the new semester. If a faculty member does not complete the training, they will be labeled as non-compliant on their Student Link, and cannot teach courses. c. The training must improve upon faculty member involvement; there should be mechanisms in place to circumvent faculty members from mindlessly clicking. It must

7 CONTENT/TRIGGER WARNING – SEXUAL ASSAULT & SEXUAL HARRASSMENT

be vetted for victim-blaming, include situations of harassment and review the mandatory reporting policies. d. Resources should be given throughout this training. i. After the training is finished, there will be an opportunity for feedback. e. Teach professors about content & trigger warnings to include in syllabi and courses.

11. Improve Sexual Misconduct Prevention Training: Students a. The current sexual assault awareness training is not effective in education or prevention. With the guidance of SARP, we suggest Boston University fix these issues. b. This training must be annual, and is required before students can sign up for their courses. If a student does not complete the training, they will be labeled as non- compliant on their Student Link, and cannot sign up for their courses. c. The training must improve upon student involvement; there should be mechanisms in place to circumvent students from mindlessly clicking. It must be vetted for victim- blaming, and involve situations besides “partying” where sexual violence may occur. d. Resources should be given throughout this training. i. Information about the process of how to report sexual assault and harassment will be provided and fully elaborated. ii. After the training is finished, there will be an opportunity for feedback.

12. Incentivize students to complete the Boston University Campus Climate Survey a. This survey data is critical to improve the climate at Boston University and holds us accountable compared to other institutions. Similar to other surveys sent from the Administration, Boston University must find ways to incentivize the student body like peer institutions (i.e. raffles, $5 in convenience points). b. To increase communication and transparency with the Boston University community, Administration should have semester reports on sexual violence issues and how they plan to improve/fix them.

13. Annually Conduct an External Investigation (i.e. the Sexual Violence Prevention Association Investigation).

14. Create a Cross-College (XC) Course on the topic of Sexual Harassment, Assault, Violence & Prevention. a. Similar to Boston University XCCs, this will be a 4-credit elective course open to juniors and seniors from all 10 undergraduate schools and colleges; sophomores may enroll at the discretion of an instructor. i. We highly recommend SARP is consulted in the construction of this course in regards to what appropriate content would be.

8 CONTENT/TRIGGER WARNING – SEXUAL ASSAULT & SEXUAL HARRASSMENT

b. Student teams will work faculty as well as a variety of on-campus and community partners on a substantial, research-based challenge while building their knowledge and skills in 4 key Hub areas: Creativity/Innovation, Oral and/or Signed Community, Research and Information Literacy, Teamwork/Collaboration.

15. CCTV Footage which can be used as Sexual Assault and Harassment evidence needs to be stored for at least 6 months.

Appendix A Protest Email Template:

Dear President Robert A. Brown,

Your university condones sexual assault, are you proud of that?

Sexual assault and violence is not a new issue at Boston University; it has happened for years, under your authority, and the University has not taken critical steps to address it. While the University “recognizes that sexual assault, harassment, discrimination, and other forms of sexual misconduct can have a profound impact on a person’s personal, academic and work life,” the services on campus are inadequate to protect survivors. Over 98 stories have revealed that Boston University services lack: follow through in contacting survivors, empathy, and adequate legal and psychological support. It is disheartening. It is disappointing. And, it is disgusting that Boston University leaves survivors without proper resources to not just heal, but also find justice.

During the 2020 summer recess, numerous Boston University students came forward to share their sexual assault occurrences. Those stories can be found on this 42-page Google Document (bit.ly/98accounts). They cited Boston University Police Department and the Title IX office for poor handling of their cases and major barriers to receiving their justice. Survivors deserve their University to acknowledge multiple problems including the University’s failure to hold assailants accountable for breaching stay away orders, failure to hold Faculty accountable, slow processing of cases, and more. Survivors should be assured that crucial steps are being taken to combat these institutional issues.

We demand the following: 1. Public Statement Acknowledging Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment at Boston University a. Boston University has failed to publicly acknowledge or issue a statement regarding sexual assault on campus. This is an issue and an insult to survivors. The University must release a statement acknowledging sexual assault and harassment. Especially considering that the Boston University Instagram account (@bostonu) follows the @campus.survivors account, and Faculty are included in reports and stories. 2. Implement A Zero Tolerance Policy: Faculty a. Boston University must take a zero tolerance stance on sexual assault and harassment perpetrated by faculty and staff. These cases should be thoroughly investigated and if the assailant is found guilty, their employment should be immediately terminated. Including those who have tenure.

10 CONTENT/TRIGGER WARNING – SEXUAL ASSAULT & SEXUAL HARRASSMENT

i. Countless survivors have shared via social media stories regarding multiple departments and teaching assistants. b. Boston University must take punitive action against professors, teachers assistants, and faculty members with a history or prevalence of sexual assault violations. Failing to do so perpetuates Boston University’s history of condoning sexual violence. i. Faculty from the following departments that have been publicly mentioned as predatory or dangerous on Campus Survivors include: Chemistry, COM, CFA, Economics, English, Neurobiology, and Neuroscience departments. 3. Implement A Zero Tolerance Policy: Student Organizations a. Boston University must take a zero tolerance stance on sexual assault and harassment perpetrated by student organizations. These cases should be thoroughly investigated and if the assailant is found guilty, they should be dismissed from the University. b. If the organization has a culture of promoting sexual assault and violence, then the organization should be held accountable by being dismantled. Boston University must be assertive and re-evaluate the existence of organizations which put students in danger. Since their time mentioned on Campus Survivors, have the following groups changed their culture around sexual assault and sexual harassment? i. Groups that have been publicly mentioned as predatory or dangerous on Campus Survivors include: BU On Broadway, Kappa Sigma, Stage Troupe, Student Government, and Pi Kappa Alpha. 4. Anonymous Reporting & Strike System a. Currently, Boston University Police Department has a form (bit.ly/buanonform) or number to report suspicious activities (847411). All reports detailing sexual assault occurrence and prevalence should be watched and surveilled 24/7. If a student organization is involved, they should be held accountable and restricted from gathering. 5. Expand Sexual Assault Response & Prevention Center’s Resources a. Out of all Boston University resources offered to survivors, SARP offers the most cohesive support for survivors. Given this positive aspect, Boston University must expand SARP to include more services and diverse counselors. This enables SARP to help more survivors, calm fears, and reduce interactions with BUPD. b. Separate the Boston University Police Department from sexual assault cases and allocate more responsibility to SARP. i. Police have a long history of failing to bring justice to sexual assault survivors, and an even uglier history of being perpetrators themselves. (http://bit.ly/policeandsexualassault)

11 CONTENT/TRIGGER WARNING – SEXUAL ASSAULT & SEXUAL HARRASSMENT

ii. “Approximately 40% of police officers commit acts of domestic violence in their homes.” and “a 2015 study found that, over a 10 year period, an officer was caught in a case of sexual misconduct every five days.” RAINN (http://bit.ly/campussexualviolence) iii. Given this history, survivors do not feel safe with police compared to SARP staff and counselors. Many are afraid police will not believe them and do not know how much control they will have after reporting the incident to the police. (http://bit.ly/reportingsexualassault) iv. It is imperative to note police brutality with regards to BIPOC women and sexual assault: “The Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network says one in six of all U.S. women have been victims of rape or attempted rape. And the Bureau of Justice Statistics found that for every one Black woman who reports a rape, another 15 do not. Advocates say a legacy of systemic racism and decades of police brutality have made Black victims hesitant to call law enforcement for help (http://bit.ly/BIPOCsexualassault) c. Currently, once a student files a sexual misconduct complaint, a Title IX Coordinator, Dean of Students, or the Office of Judicial Affairs “will review the allegations and determine the necessity and scope of any supportive measures to prevent further acts of harassment, misconduct, or retaliation and to provide a safe educational and work environment.” i. Instead of determining the supportive measures, Boston University should support and allow survivors to choose what they find most hopeful and effective in healing from their experience. ii. If Boston University continues to make the decision on which supportive measures can be offered, SARP must be consulted to represent the students' wishes.

Sexual assault and harassment are extremely difficult to talk about at Boston University. Despite this, over the course of a week, 67 of your own student groups are coming together to take a stance against this issue.

We will continue to speak and advocate for Boston University survivors. As your silence grows, so will our outrage.

Appendix B Statement from President Robert A. Brown:

I am writing to reply to your email about the University’s responses to sexual misconduct on campus. I will say emphatically that the University finds reprehensible any form of sexual assault or harassment on campus and condemns such behavior. Every case that is brought to our attention is fully investigated in accord with federal and state law and regulations, including Title IX, and our own established procedures. As you know, we created and funded SARP — the Sexual Assault Response and Prevention Center — to aid survivors and to raise awareness in our community to prevent and deter this behavior. We have also implemented mandatory web-based education for all our community members as part of our efforts to increase awareness and prevent unacceptable and deeply harmful behavior on our campuses.

Thank you for bringing to my attention the website where Boston University current and former students have described experiences of sexual harassment and sexual assault involving other members of the BU community. These accounts are deeply disturbing. In those few cases where we are able to determine the likely identity of the alleged perpetrator, the University’s Title IX Coordinator or Dean of Students Office has initiated appropriate follow up. We are prepared to investigate any of the other cases, whether they involve faculty or other students, if the complainants or reporters provide us with sufficient information to do so. If you, or others, wish to provide additional information that will allow us to move forward with an investigation, please contact the University’s Title IX Coordinator Kim Randall at [email protected] or any of the University’s deputy coordinators listed here.

I also appreciate the recommendations for improvements in our processes and expansion of our resources that you have offered. I propose that the leaders of this effort meet with Kenneth Elmore, Dean of Students and Associate Provost, to share your experiences, concerns, and recommendations for our improvement.

Working together we can make Boston University a more welcoming and safe environment for everyone. Please stay safe and well.

Sincerely,

Robert A. Brown President

Appendix C Statement from Dean Kenneth Elmore:

Reading these anonymous stories incited, again and again, personal disgust and loathing at the behavior of the perpetrators. I am sure that for some, this may be an initial understanding of the long-lasting impact that sexual assaults have on victims and their friends and families. For others, these stories are painful reminders that sexual assault is real and, shamefully, it’s right here in our academic, work and social communities.

A word to all, especially the survivors in these stories: we are working to create a learning environment where students can decide the ways that work for them to bring criminal charges; to report these incidents for investigation to the University; and, for individual, confidential care.

One of my roles is to respond, unfortunately, after sexual assaults and other incidents of sexual misconduct occur. I am reviewing and evaluating with President Brown and Provost Morrison our processes and policies that address sexual assault and the varying needs for safety and feeling safe with each other to ensure that these processes and policies respond thoughtfully and effectively. We want to ensure that these responses, processes, and policies treat us all with dignity and respect. We have also reviewed, and will continue to review, the letters and messages of recommendation for better ways for moving forward. And, while we want to be thoughtful about any responses and changes we make to policies and processes, that will not be enough. We still must strengthen the norms, within our communities, against sexual assault.

For us to own our claims that we are a caring community of educated people, sexual assault has no place here. I am grateful to those of you who came together over the last few days push me – to push us – to play our part and take part in efforts to make our academic, work, and social lives safer. I am also grateful for those of you who have been working on this issue over time. Eliminating sexual assault demands much of us all. Eliminating misogyny in our actions and interactions demands more. It begins with acknowledging and recognizing the tragic and painful stories that we continue to gather, read, and hear. It continues with us intervening when we can. And, it demand that we make the changes, we can, in our personal and institutional lives.

I will do my part to work to support an environment without sexual assault and hope that we can join our efforts to make this environment safe for all of our students.

With utmost sincerity,

Kenn Elmore
