Some college leadership do see the good and the long term benefit to ensuring every victim, who pays their salaries, reports and gets help.
What we do is ASK college admins to comply with mechanisms that could make their college look very badly.
The Penn State abuses had 'media value', and that's why we heard about it, but it exposed a common phenomenon, administrators who sit idly.
More dismal stats..."only 5% sought victim services...only 5% reported rape to police." Think our campus communities have a problem?

Interesting stat off Sexual Assault On Campus..."only 27% of women identified as rape victims defined their experience as rape."

Children don't change unless they see the change in us. They will model your silence. You can't tell them to speak, you must then they will.
Our children should know compassion and the merit in standing against injustice and shrugging off the sheeplike paralysis of the content.
That's what it will take for victims to become survivors and for individuals to become communities, in more than name only.
But will we choose to accept man and woman, acting out of part, when we see it?
There are perfectly good reasons for men to show weakness and vulnerability, and women to show strength and steely resolve.
What is America's prescription for manhood and womanhood today, and should we choose to fill it?
The manner which trauma has interwoven itself into every fabric of society is remarkable, to be equalled by silence strung into each thread
We spend billions on drugs and billions more "fighting" it because that's what you do when you'd rather not address what lies behind it.
Politicians mention not a word of it except when rape intersects with abortion. Rape is merely a sticky subject not a death to be confronted
We are okay with it because we excuse it every day. Blind eyes always turn. We have bought into our own self-induced paralysis.
