Two weeks ago, protests erupted on our campus in immediate response to sexual assault allegations that surfaced on an anonymous messaging app. The allegations spurred a tidal wave of solidarity entangled in grief and frustration – and as demonstrations have begun abating, the mourning of survivors has overtaken the outrage of the protestors that spilled onto North Pleasant Street on the first weekend of our coverage.
In this second installment of our series Impunity: Sexual Assault and Accountability on a College Campus, we hear from those survivors their stories of, victimization, violation, and resilience, as well as from a number of other voices – a sociology professor, a campus advocate, and a graduate whose experience drives at the heart of our programming’s message: this is not a new problem.
This episode includes reporting from Amherst Wire Managing Editor Talia Heisey and WMUA News Editor Rebeca Pereira.
