A recent StudLife Op-Ed, as well as articles in other publications such as one published by Mother Jones, has accused Amendment 3's reiteration of being an attempt to rally transphobia in support of the abortion restrictions. On the contrary, this provision is legitimately necessary. Vote yes on Amendment 3 to protect children from the rashness of youth and to respect the dignity of the unborn.

It has now been about a month and a half since U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon’s visit, and University administration has yet to speak on what the meeting entailed. As a student of WashU, I take issue with our administrators’ continued lack of transparency.

The staff of Student Life recently published an editorial on how WashU should move forward after the Cornell 7 case’s virality, arguing that “more outreach, peer-to-peer education, improvement to Title IX enforcement, and campus-wide conversations about RSV [Relationship and Sexual Violence] are always better than less.” I want to push further and argue that, at present, awareness-raising programming like The Date and other online educational training have brought prevention as far as they can.
