WashU let me down. Programs like bystander intervention and the Title IX office are supposed to protect survivors, but they did little for me.

This is a university failing its federal legal obligations under Title IX. Students deserve to know the truth.

As a former actor who literally performed in “The Date” at WashU multiple times, even I was unaware I was being sexually assaulted in my relationship at WashU; it wasn’t until therapy years later that I realized coercion and threats are not consent.
