Washington University held a listening session to gather feedback on the recent updates to the Title IX policy Wednesday, Sept. 12. The updated policy was released on Sept. 4 in response to demands made by Title Mine, a student activism group focusing on Title IX reform, last semester.

As classes begin, students approaching Danforth Campus from the north will be faced with an unpleasant surprise as they encounter the now-closed Overpass for the first time.

Washington University students will host a rally to express discontent with current Title IX reporting processes and University responses to sexual assault and harassment on campus. The rally will take place April 26 at 4 p.m.

By now, most of us has seen or heard about the anonymous op-ed, “Not a threat” published in Student Life April 16.

Chancellor Mark Wrighton announced an update to “clarify and streamline” regulations on the possession of weapons, explosives and fireworks on campus in an email sent to the University community Tuesday.

Washington University will launch the Academy for Diversity and Inclusion to support staff and faculty on diversity issues, as well as create a new assistant vice chancellor position to lead the academy this summer.

Washington University’s policy ignores black and brown students fighting against unjust systems who failed in the past and even the present to receive institutional protection.

Washington University will begin a multi-year effort to improve its aging human resources, finance and student information systems this summer.

Only 10 percent of the tenure-tracked faculty at Washington University are minorities.

Minority students are nothing more than social capital to the University, and once they can count you in their statistics, you are on your own.
