The Coalition Against Sexual Violence at Michigan State University held a rally outside the Hannah Administration Building Nov. 19. Dozens of students and community supporters demanded that administrators speak out against sexual violence on campus and take action regarding past assaults, particularly the case of two MSU Spartans men’s basketball players who were accused of raping a woman student in late August and who remain on the basketball team. The coalition was promised a meeting with MSU officials weeks ago, but administrators failed to follow through.
The coalition is demanding a new educational campaign against sexual violence and victim-blaming, as well as demanding that university administrators issue a public apology to the survivor and all survivors for the administration’s failure to act and speak out against sexual violence.
