Mr Jefferson's University is all about Honor. However, ask yourself these questions:
Is it Honorable for a University to support Zero Tolerance for Cheating but not for Rape?
Is it Honorable for a University President to refuse to comply with the Clery Act and Title IX Law?
Is it Honorable to do nothing when you're told by a young woman that she's been sexually assaulted ?
Who knows how many young lives have been altered because the University Administration turns a Blind Eye to rape?

Pres John Casteen refuses to talk with victims

  

Dean Penny Rue belittled victims, thwarted investigations, and now works at UCSD

"EVEN IF YOU LOSE, YOU'VE SHOWN STRENGTH TO FACE YOUR ATTACKER
AND NAME HIM FOR WHAT HE IS ... A RAPIST."  ~ Olivia Benson

Although Campus Police, Administrators and Students knew and discussed the issues, Nothing Happened. Nothing Changed. The number of reported rapes continues to increase each academic year. Brave Survivors are told to "forget it happened". Predators continue to roam the campus with the full assurance of the UVA Administration that Nothing will happen to them if they commit a rape crime. And the community continues to turn a Blind Eye to campus rape crimes.

UVA supports a Zero Tolerance policy for Cheating, but not for Rape. WHY?

This site is dedicated to all UVA Survivors of Sexual Assault.

Your efforts to bring about justice will eventually bring change to the University,
even when you believe your current efforts have been in vain.
