EDITORIAL COLUMN Sexual ethics panel missed the mark PAIGE HARDY Contributor

I went to a discussion panel in Alexander Reading Room on April 10 that attempted to answer the question, “How should Baylor address sexual ethics as a Christian university?” I use the term “discussion” loosely, because in reality it was a group of four like- minded seniors and a moderator patting themselves on the back for solving sexual assault through Christianity. I knew this panel would be problematic from the start when three Rewon Shimray | Cartoonist of the four panelists used the phrases “sexual assault scandal” and “taking care of survivors” in the same sentence. One thing needs to be made very clear: As a survivor of sexual assault at Baylor, I am not a scandal. My story is not important because of how it affects the Seeing 20/20 in 2020 value of your degree or how well our football team plays. My story is important because I am a human being made in God’s image who was used as an object.
